Applying for national registry emt

[NJEMT]

So I was thinking of applying for my national registry for EMT-B. I was reading that I have to do a skills test over, do I really have to.


I have been an EMT in jersey for the past 4 years. I was thinking of going out to Ohio next summer for a summer job and was reading that in Ohio you need to have National Registry to apply for an Ohio EMT. I REALLY REALLY don't want to take a skills test again.

Lapsed Certification


If your National EMS Certification lapsed as an EMT-Basic / EMT within a two year period or you are currently state licensed as an EMT-Basic / EMT, you can obtain National EMS Certification by completing a state-approved Refresher course and successfully completing the cognitive and psychomotor examinations. If your EMS certification expired more than two years ago, you must complete an entire state-approved EMT-Basic / EMT course and complete the cognitive and psychomotor examinations.


The EMT-Basic / EMT refresher course can be completed through two different options:


*


Traditional refresher course - an approved DOT National Standard EMT-Basic / EMT Refresher


*


Continuing education topical hours* - refresher may be completed by continuing education and must include the topics and hours listed below:


Topics Hours Required


Preparatory 1 hour


Airway 2 hours


OB, Infants, Children 2 hours


Patient Assessment 3 hours


Medical/Behavior 4 hours


Trauma 4 hours


Elective 8 hour


Total 24 hours


* Some states require the traditional refresher course and will not accept continuing education hours. Please refer to your state’s particular requirements.


** A maximum number of 10 hours CECBEMS approved Distributive Education can be applied to refresher education.

Cedar Point and most other amusement parks hire part time EMT's.

I was going to do cedar point. I am friends with a girl who is a supervisor for the ticket seller people, whatever they are called. The only thing I know I would have to do would be to take the advanced airway class because NJ EMTs dont do advanced airways.

Living in CP's dorms can get interesting. I was hired as a "non-bonded" officer there. I resigned when I realized I could make more at my Security gig with less crap then my buddy who was a "bonded" officer there. Having lived in Sandusky, its a crap town.

Ohio uses NR, so you would have to complete your NR testing. Best of Luck.

They are the reason I couldnt be an EMT...fuckers! I passed the class, both my practical and written but kept getting stuck when it came to NREMT. Since I live not to far from their offices/HQ, I should go take a piss and a shit on their door.

I don't know about every where in Ohio but I know in Lorain County Basics are no long allowed to do advanced airways.
