I PASSED STEP 1!
National Registry is an exam process required, at least in my state Colorado, to become certified as an EMT.
STEP 1 is the test of your skills (NREMT skills). I went in to role play, if you will, with “patients” and I was required to assess them based on the specific scenario given by my proctor. I had to complete each skill with basically 100% accuracy (I couldn’t miss any critical steps in giving care) in order to pass each skill. We were tested on a total of 6 skills. Each of which completely different such as assessing a trauma patient, medical patient, performing CPR and using an AED machine, inserting oral and nasal airways, bleeding and shock management, immobilizing/splinting, etc. There are multiple steps for each skill.
I PASSED all 6 skills!
Now I’m on to STEP 2 in a few weeks.
STEP 2 is National Registry written exam (NREMT written).
Wish me luck! This is a huge deal for me and will shape my future!
You're looking at future EMT-Basics!
I am in front on the far right corner =)

Weld County Colorado EMT
I’m working on becoming certified to save your life!
I’ve always wanted a career that would make a difference. I figured saving someone’s life is one of the best ways of making a difference in a really huge way.
I’m the type of person who has a really big heart and all I want to do is help, come on I cry during commercials. =D
At times I have a hard exterior but the interior is always soft. I have been dreaming of this for a long time now and now it’s finally here!
I will be over the moon when I actually receive my certification in May 2011! I just have to pass the National Registry Test first, that’s the tough part.
I live in Weld County and plan on working in Weld County. I can’t wait to wear that EMT patch… and I will wear it proudly!
Yesterday (1/10/11) was the first day of class and I will be going to class every night M-TH then on Fridays and some Saturdays later in the semester. I had the worst butterflies before class started, you know those first day jitters, but as usual everything went great and I already made some friends! LoL
There are 20 some students, all male except three females (including myself) us ladies have to stick together and show the men “we can do anything they can do better!”
WISH ME LUCK!

Breckenridge Colorado
I loved the decor!
Bath Room #1
Washer & Dryer
Those couches were amazingly comfortable!And I loved the colors used in this room....just might have to do something like that to our house now!
This living room was soooo cozy!
Kitchen dining area
Breckenridge seriously thought of everything! From simple things like dog drinking bowls outside of different shops, chair lifts for those who are handicap, hand sanitizer everywhere, free water stations at the bars =D, and so much more that most wouldn't notice except for me! lol
