Anybody can Register or Certify a person in anything they want. It's just a term that is not restricted in usage and it's up to the NREMT to choose which term they want to use. My patch is sitting in the envelope it came in and I haven't looked at it in 4 years so I couldn't tell you what mine...

Our District is divided up into about 10 zones (I don't remember the exact number). For each zone, obviously all of our units are listed first, but then we start listing trucks from other agencies based on how close they are. Similarly, we are listed somewhere down the line on the list on...

Both are Correct. Regardless of how you recert, a training officer needs to sign off on the form.

It is still available as of 2 days ago! I haven't checked since :) It's $70 if i remember correctly?

I have a recert coming up, and while I can probably already have the CE's documenting them is going to be a pain in the butt because of how my medical school posts syllabi. I also need the 24 hour refresher class which I'm not sure I can attend at this time due to my clinicals for school. I...

for states that issue state patches, are they required to be on your uniform? In both states I've worked in, we have not had state patches. I just wear the department patch. I've never worn an NREMT patch but that is also because I've never worked anywhere that that particular patch would...

holidays are pretty busy, i'd give them a few more days at least.

Um... Auto-Pulse? And you can actually do pretty decent CPR in the back of the medic depending on what kind of roads you are on. But seeing as how in 2012 I had at least 3 codes that ROSC'ed while doing CPR/ACLS in the back of the medic I think that there are appropriate times and places for...

This is very situational. One of my departments is rural and gets about 3-4 runs/day on average. Granted each run takes about 2 hours if we transport, but split between the two trucks, a 24 hour shift isn't all that bad. Even on days when we don't have a second truck, unless the timing of the...

I work for two agencies. For both, we go no matter what. In the urban area, this is a no brainer since if we're out and someone in our district needs us, while our response time is 60 seconds, our mutual aid's response time is about 3 minutes, so not that bi of a deal. In the rural area...

It depends on the city. In busier areas, the radio report for a routine, stable patient just takes up time. Their volume is so high already, an extra patient isn't going to make or break anything. In my area, we are required to make an entry report with Pt age/gender, CC, brief HOPI, VS...
