HE DID IT!!!!


As many of you know, Nick's goal is to become a Professional Firefighter. This is a VERY competitive profession and the process of becoming one is very lengthy and takes dedication. Nick started classes at the College Of Southern Nevada last fall and did GREAT in his classes. He was enrolled in Basic EMT classes as he is progressing towards earning his Paramedic Certificate. You might be asking yourself why he is getting his Paramedic certificate to become a firefigther? Well... if he wants to become a firefighter, the more qualified in the areas they are in need of, the better chance he will have to get on. SOO... after completeing his first semester of basic EMT classes, he still had to take a test called National Registry. If Nick didn't pass this test, (even though he passed all his classes) then he wouldn't be able to continue onto this semesters Intermediate EMT classes.
Yesterday was the BIG DAY that Nick was scheduled to take the National Registry. He was really nervous and since the test covered 40 chapters worth of information, he wasn't quite sure what he should and shouldn't spend time studying. He stopped by my work after he took it and he didn't feel very good about it. Both of our moms called yesterday to see how he did and how it went. The results would take a couple of days to be posted online, BUt we JUST looked online this morning to find that HE DID IT!!! He passed the National Registry and can now continue with his EMT classes!! I knew you could do it babe!! Good work!!
