Not quite what I’d call a page-turner but I passed my NREMT so I can’t fault it.

WOOHOO PURE LITERATURE

[Will Smith · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book was a wealth of information, and was formatted in a way that allows clear connections between chapters and a good grasp of the material.

[Benjamin Jensen · Rating 4 out of 5]

I read all chapters that were a part of Unit 1 for an EMT class I was taking. The class was a condensed 7-week course and there were a few things about the instructional approach I was not happy with. I also found myself simply trying to do too much at one time so after taking the exam since I put in the work and feeling happy with what I learned, I dropped the class. While I was looking at pursuing a nursing degree I am now looking at providing comfort in a different way and focusing more perhaps on doing that through the literature and music side of things. I think I have all the right to wander in this life and try different things out right? Sometimes giving it up is not giving up. On to the next adventure. Oh and about the book, not spectacularly written but still does a great job on the instructional side of things.

Chapters 6-7 are pretty difficult but everything did not make sense until we got to Chapters like 10-19. There were some errors in the book. We have addressed them as a class. Overall very informative. Grateful for the information that was received. Definitely will go back to the book to reference various materials.

Made me cry, many times. This book was my bible for an entire semester. Not for the feint of heart but a life line for those that need it.

[Shelby Connelly · Rating 3 out of 5]

Look….if I have to read a 1600 page book for class it’s going towards my reading goal. 😂
