They both expire on the same date. I don't really care to keep the NREMT-B, but I was wondering if the "initial registration" counts as the date that I got my NREMT-B. Or if they mean my initial registration as an NREMT-P.
Basically what it's sou...
I think this is an interesting question. You could argue that if they are going to do the drugs anyways, that having a site like this would help reduce the spread of diseases from dirty needles, and might potentially be a location where these indi...
One day after doing a ton of nursing facility calls I decided EMS should be changed from emergency medical services to "elderly management service." :-p
I'm sure he'll be set loose on the public again soon. Give it a couple days lol.
I keep mine cause it's like a security blanket. When I first got my EMT, I thought well I love my job, my firehouse, and my location...I'LL NEVER MOVE!!! Well I did, to 3 states.I am glad I kept my NREMT, if I hadn't I'd be washing dishes at Denny...
A low bar indeed...you should meet some of my wife's coworkers. :)
And because PA doesn't require registry after initial certification, when I was getting ready to leave, I found it ridiculously difficult to find a refresher that fit my schedule....
You should keep your National registry certification because so state well not even give you the right to work in their state with out it.I am from MI and the state I work in says you must be a nremt to work.I would not want to retest just for rec...
okay okay - - - -
Skip, you are correct. Again! National Registry = Good for EMS.
And Justin is wise to keep his Registry current, especially since he's already did the heavy lifting and paid the initial fees, application/testing fees, and earn...
The Registry does not make you take a refresher - it makes you take a distribution of continuing education. If you choose to meet the CE requirement via a refresher, that's your choice. I just go to department CE and the program is designed to mee...
Actually it is the Registry that is making me take the Refresher, not the State. But $110 initial/$20 every three years is quite reasonable.
Tell me, what does the National Registry do for me again?

Like that isn't obvious considering that the state is merging the DO and ND boards. I would argue that merging the MD and DO boards would make 1000 times more sense, but there's a bit of a history out here and too many DOs with chips on their shou...
You mean all is not well in "the land of fruits and nuts"? Say it ain't so.... :)
OK, gang, a little intellectual honesty here.
The NREMT fee for recertification of a paramedic is $20. The initial fee is $110. Neither of those is a killer.
If you want to complain about what your particular state, or some other state does, tak...

$600 was for the San Francisco refresher cost and yeah, I am looking around (right now) for cheaper refresher classes.
But I just don't want to end up in a class and have an experience like you had.... I don't have the time to waste. Es...
To be fair, I found at least the EMT-B refresher to be a complete and utter waste of time (I want those 4 weekends back!). I spent about 1/4 of the class fighting sleeping, a brief period arguing with the RN about why you shouldn't put a patient i...
Well, Justin - -
Just be sure to think ahead... 10 - 12 years down your career road. One day you may want to LEAVE the Great Lakes State (as I did) because of the lack of jobs and the cratered economy (hint: don't move to another state who's econ...
