Hello all,
I will just get right to it. It will be almost 2 years since I have taken the EMT course (I took it in July 2017) at 16 and I never took the NREMT. I am now 18 years old, and my hope was to get employed as an er tech at my hospital. I am really disappointed I never took the initiative earlier, because I am pretty sure I forgot all of the skills. In addition to that, I never took one of the ICS tests that was required of me in the course.
What should I do now? (I will obviously do the ICS)
Should I just retake the course? (I am more hesitant to do that as the nearest course is close to 1,000 dollars)
Do you think studying for the NREMT is a better option, and what are some tips?
What is the likelihood that a hospital employs an 18 year old?
Any general insight is appreciated!
