I just passed my NREMT on the first try from watching each chapter from this specific book that you posted! I watched each video and then used the EMS pocket prep app to practice questions leading up to the exam. THANK YOU! it had been a year since I’d taken my course, so these lectures helped tremendously. ❤❤❤
