Guest guest Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 Maxine, 100% initial pass rate? Wow that is impressive. Most of the NREMT pass rates for Texas have been in the 40-50% range. My hat is off to Katy ISD for that accomplishment. Congratulations! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 I want to take advantage of this forum to congratulate Sam and her Katy ISD ( High School) EMT students on their 100% National Registry pass rate on their initial test. This was a pilot program at Katy ISD, and will be expanded to other campuses next year. We were privilaged to have these students ride with us for part their ambulance rotations. Several of them have expressed an interest in volunteering here during the summer months and we are looking forward to having them.

Guest guest Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 Wouldn't expect anything less from Katy ISD students, most of them take their education very seriously. After all, the schools are one of the largest reasons why people move to Katy. Good to see them do so well! On a side note, I know when I was in high school Cypress Creek EMS started a similar program at my school (that was how I got my basic). Out of the students who were in the class, only four of us tested and two of us work/volunteer in EMS with me being the only one who reached paramedic. I wonder if they still have the program. Maybe hire-Pattison EMS, Katy VFD, West Lake VFD, West County EMS, and Cy-Fair VFD can pick up these young medics! > > I want to take advantage of this forum to congratulate Sam > and her Katy ISD ( High School) EMT students on > their 100% National Registry pass rate on their initial > test.

Guest guest Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 One drawback is their age - they don't meet our minimum-age requirements for driving the ambulances. Since they can't drive, anytime they are part of a 2-person crew they have to be the one in charge of patient care. Therefore, they can't be scheduled with a Paramedic unless they are part of a 3- person crew. The volunteer option is a win-win deal. The department benefits (we love having 3-person crews) and the brand new EMTs are gaining some valuable experience, especially the ones who plan to pursue careers in medicine. (Several of them want to be doctors when they grow up!) One of our current volunteer EMTs, Delmas, is also one of Sam's former students (not from a school district class, though). He will be entering medical school in the not too distant future, and leaves tomorrow to spend two months at the R Cowley Shock Trauma Center in Baltimore. I know that feels that his experiences as an EMT will be an asset to him, and I hope these new EMTs feel the same way.
