2.0 out of 5 stars TOO BASIC, December 13, 2001

By 

Robert Erskin (FINNEY COUNTY, KS USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: EMT-Paramedic (P) PreTest Self Assessment and Review (Paperback)

This book was much too basic for my review purposes. Also, the questions in this book do not resemble the questions on the NREMT-P test.

This review is from: EMT-Paramedic (P) PreTest Self Assessment and Review (Paperback)

mr. westfal did and excellent job with this book. i did kind of poorly in my medic class and when it came time for the final i got this review guide and passed with flying colors. especially the cardio section (which i struggled with in class) i had a much better understanding of what i was supposed to know about cardio drugs and reading dysrhythmias on an ecg and interpreting them into which algorythm i am supposed to use. and also there are not as many pasg pants ?'s which is good because in at least michigan they are elimanting the use of the mast pants and the pants are no longer on the ambulance. thank you again for your help mr. westfal, it was much appreciated.

This review is from: EMT-Paramedic (P) PreTest Self Assessment and Review (Paperback)

This book may not reflect the NREMT test, but it is an excellent resource for general paramedic level knowledge. After being a paramedic for seven years, I still refer to it when I refresh my EMT-P level knowledge. Get this book, you will not be disappointed.
