Discuss the access, cost, and quality of quality environments, as well as recent quality initiatives (See Chapter 24 and Table 24.1). Student is to reflect on the relationship between quality measures and evaluation and role development. In addition, describe this relationship and note how the role of the APN might change without effective quality measures.https://lnkd.in/dGhxSvKW

What’s your learning style?A learning style is the way you like to learn or understand things. Just like some people prefer certain types of clothes or food, we all have different ways we like to learn best. Some people may:like to listen to someone explain things ✅some might like to read and write✅while others may prefer to do hands-on activities ✅Knowing your learning style can help you understand how to study or learn new things in a way that feels comfortable and makes it easier for you to remember. Nursing programs don’t assess students study styles.Imagine a higher education system that did?

So, the small training company I am part of, Alchemedic Training LLC, will be conducting a VILT NAEMT Refresher, the 31 hour Paramedic version, in concert with Beach Lake Volunteer Fire Company. The tentative plan is to run classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays but I will be throwing additional days in PRN for those that have conflicts on those days and in order to get through all the material in a timely manner. The schedule will be posted shortly but until that point here is a link to express interest in this completely online, interactive program!!https://lnkd.in/eSwb5V5zThis is approved in the PA EMS Registry for 31 CEs. 23 CPC and 8 Other. Embedded in the 8 Other are 2 EMSVO CEs as well.The price for this 31hr CE Event will be $125 and will include access to recordings of the lectures as well as any additional materials I share throughout the class. For those wondering, this class does meet the NREMT NCCP requirements as a refresher and can be used to reset test attempts. For any non-PA EMS providers, a certificate will be furnished that also feeds directly into CAPCE that can utilized in most states to meet CE requirements. For the NYS EMS providers, if you do not have a CIC administering your CE program let me know, I may be able to help!!Disclaimer: The interest form is not the registration form. Once we start filling seats, I will forward the actual registration digital form to you to gather the info I need for the NAEMT and PA EMS CE rosters.

Unbound Scenarios is not only a great resource to include in your normal curriculum, but also adds flexibility when the situation requires it. Learn how one instructor at Century College pivoted to Unbound Scenarios in a pinch.https://lnkd.in/e6YFVGgE

At the end of your EMT class or Paramedic Program you will start to hear your classmates talk about the number of questions they took on the NREMT exam, before getting "cut-off." The sharing of this information in the class is one of my biggest pet peeves as an instructor. Why? Because this does nothing but increase anxiety with other students in the class. The student fixates more on the timer and their question number, rather than the actual question. Immediately assuming that he or she failed if they pass a certain question number, because "so and so" was cut-off at question 82 and passed. If you want to help your peers in class, don't tell them the question number that you ended with.The EMT and Paramedic NREMT exams are currently "computer adaptive" whereas the AEMT NREMT exam is currently "linear." Linear exams are fixed in length - meaning that you will take an exact number of questions, regardless of your exam performance. Computer adaptive exams are treated differently, there is a range of questions (a minimum and a maximum number) that each candidate may get, based on his or her performance. The NREMT exam will "cut-off" the candidate once it is 95% confident that the candidate has passed or failed the examination within that range of questions. The candidate's performance is largely dependent on the item (question) difficulty level. Your ability is being evaluated in real time with each question that you answer. As you see in this picture, each question is assigned a level of difficulty. As the candidate answers questions correctly, the questions will become more difficult. If a candidate answers a question incorrectly, the difficulty level of the questions decreases and will continue to do so until the candidate begins to answer questions correctly. Per the NREMT website, "The computer stops the exam at the minimum number of items in the following situations:There is a 95% confidence the candidate is at or above the passing standardThere is a 95% confidence the candidate is below the passing standardThe candidate has reached the maximum allotted time" This type of evaluation is why you do not receive an actual percentage score after taking the NREMT exam. The exam is pass/fail. If the exam is 95% confident that you are at or above the passing threshold, you pass. If the exam is 95% confident that you are below that threshold (or cannot reach competency), you fail. Moral of the story, don't fret about the question number you are currently on. Beat the test one question at a time - there is no "previous question" button in the exam, so there is no going back to change an answer. Once you hit "next", you need to mentally move on from the previous question. Answer each question to the best of your ability until there are no more questions being sent your way.🌐 www.passwithpass.com #emt #emtstudent #nremt #paramedicschool #medicstudent #emtschool #medicschool #medic #futureparamedic #passwithPASS #nremtp

What can you expect from NCLEX tutoring with The Next Gen Tutor? This is what I tell students: You can expect that I won't just be there to tutor you for an hour or two. I'm there to serve as your mentor and one of the most important parts of my job is not only to teach you how to study for your NCLEX; it's to cheer you on and build your confidence. Every student I have tutored tells me how much I boosted their confidence to take their exam. It's just not about knowledge of the NCLEX and how to prep for it, it's about being there for my students; It's about motivating my students and helping them up when they fall down. It is the most rewarding thing I have ever done in my 21 year profession as a nurse and now as an educator. #nurse #thenextgentutor #nursingstudents #newnursegrad #nclex #nextgen #onlinetutor #lovemywork #motivation #confidence #proudteacher www.thenextgentutor.com
