Shoutout to my professor that knew i was nervous asf and kept asking me if i was forgetting something over 5 times because i kept doing the entire scene perfectly except for vocalizing bsi scene safe lmfao. Thank you

Every time the instructor asks me "Is there anything else you'd like to do?" In my mind I'm always like "OMG WHY DID HE ASK ME THAT???!, DID I FORGET SOMETHING??!, OH GOD I FAILED!!!"

Just passed my EMT Basic NREMT/State of Tennessee practical today, and this helped me review!  I can't thank this channel enough.  I start AEMT next semester, and will definitely use these videos again for preparing.  I drew Medical Patient allergic reaction, and I just followed this video, and it's exactly what we did in the class labs.  I scored a 100% because of this.  I highly recommend this series to anyone either taking EMT courses, planning to, or just need a refresher on skills.

Just wanted to take the time to thank you for posting these videos. I passed the NREMT Skills test today and these videos assisted me in being able to do so. Again, thank you!!!

I have learned more from these videos, than our actual EMT class.   Thank you for posting.

I just got hired at Acadian!!! Oh my god! These videos helped me so much throughout my schooling and today I can say that I am and EMT and not merely certified to do the work!!

Remember that most proctors will want you to not just say that you're going to do something, actually do it! They want to see that you're able to perform the tasks, so if you say you would check lung sounds, actually check lung sounds and say that they are whatever they are and the proctor will correct you with the finding in the scenario.

I have my practical exam tomorrow, I’m feeling so much more confident with watching these videos, they are amazing help!

Just passed my competency assessments yesterday. I had a postictal seizure state patient and a hemorrhagic stroke patient. These videos gave me confidence to keep my flow going.

About to test out on the NREMT skills and written test in two days after doing the armies "accelerated" emt course which ended up taking a whole 13 days to complete. Needless to say these videos have been a massive help to myself and fellow students!

0:49 boi if you dont put that o2 tank down

Just want to let you you guys know that I just completed and passed my EMT class and cannot tell you how much these videos actually helped me with my final weeks of class. I plan on taking the NREMT soon and hoping to pass with flying colors 👌 Again, thank you so much EMT Prep😊😊

I'm an currently taking a county class for emt and these videos helped me pass my trauma assessment exam. Please keep there updated and continue to add videos for us who need to see it step by step!Great job guys!

Missed the R in OPQRST. Never asked if the pain was radiating anywhere. Otherwise, great job!

I had to take this twice, for EMT and AEMT. Just relax and stay basic, let your "partner" get vitals and like I said stay basic.

Going to do my first field practical this week. 10 hr ride along shift with the Security FD EMTs and Paramedics. Looking forward to it...but cold and snow predicted. At least it during Halloween DAY. Get ready for the real crazies! Cant believe that Im doing this at 60! Thanks for the vids!

I'm an EMT student, and I struggle with remembering all the steps to assessments, so I am grateful to have found this video so I can look back and get a visual demonstration of the steps to be taken.

These videos help a lot. My practical exam is this Friday and watching these videos makes me feel more comfortable about it. Thank you guys! Great job.

Im gonna retake emtcourses in the future. Events happened that caused me not to get in the field, but im glad i found this. Its exactly what they taught us.
