I just went through this process. My NREMT lapsed in 2005 and my Oregon license in 2009. I took a 30 hour refresher course and during that course I got signed off on my skills. I took the NREMT cognitive exam and passed (no separate psychomotor exam). The NREMT re-certified me. Once that...

I am hoping to be able to use the reciprocity application once Oregon reactivates my license rather than the initial/new license application. I hope the process goes as I am planning.

Hello! I'm Jaysen. I just signed up here and found your post back in February about expired EMT cert. I posted a reply to it tonight in case it may help you. Since your post is a couple months old I thought I'd send you a message to see if you have had any success in getting your certs back.

I just registered here and saw this so I thought I'd post my situation in case it might help. I was an EMT in Oregon from 2003-2009 and let my cert lapse. I moved to Washington State and recently decided to get my EMT back. I took an EMT refresher which included the skills verification. The...

Portland is okay, I've lived here all my life so I am a bit bored of the big city. I live in a small town just outside of Portland but I work downtown. I am more of a small town guy.

Hello Tami! Pleased to meet you.

Thank You Katie (k8ek8e)! I seem to get plenty of compliments on my name. I like it too. :-)

I live in Portland. Where are you from Katie?

I read many forums and EMS news sites and this seems to be a frequent issue that comes up. EMTs and Medics posting pictures or talking about calls on myspace, posting just enough information for victims to be tracked down. I've been around EMS for a short while and a close friend of mine...

Oregon EMS has added the combitube to the EMT-Basic scope as well. I've been trained to use it but have never used it since we always have paramedics on scene to intubate. It's entirely up to your agency to train you on this skill and your medical director to approve of it's use in your area.

I am looking for anyone who works as an EMT in Illinois, preferrably Peoria Area EMS system. I am moving to that area in about a week and looking to meet some new friends.

That sounds fair, after all you wouldn't just want people signing up and spamming and then leaving so I see your point. yes, **removed by ffemt8978** is my site. I have it running on a personal home linux server. Besides being involved in EMS, I do alot of stuff with unix including hosting...

That's cool. so are links to other EMS sites allowed? I have one going, it's just starting up but was wondering if I could do a link exchange. I am non-competitive, not looking to earn money. Would be nice to link to eachothers sites. Not sure if the admin here allows it or not.

Hello! My name is Jaysen and I am an EMT Basic from Oregon. Moving to Illinois in a week and transferring my EMT there. I am getting ready to start my medic classes. I found your site after doing a google search and this seems like a great place for some EMS related discussion. I was...
