Don't you just gotta get a job? Oh and only doctors can "practice" no practicing for us.

Naw, in Texas we pass the class then take the National Registry. If the Registry is passed, they send the info to the Texas Dept of State Health Services.

We get out certificate from NR saying we passed, but can't hold a job as an EMT on an Ambulance until the state gives us our license/certificate... but you can't get your license without passing the NR.


As for practicing-- "the exercise or pursuit of a profession or occupation"
