I volunteer as a Basic for a Fire Department in the Oklahoma Panhandle... my pay is $13.22 per hour, on a part-time basis, so no benefits aside from free flight medical membership. The career guys, on the other hand, are all IAFF, so they get all those benefits and pay. This department is easily...
Okay... I’m just a Basic, so don’t sue me if I’m wrong, but one is the written exam, and the assessment, I believe, is the psychomotor SKILLS... just like all things NREMT.
It happens. Glad it all worked out. My main hangup was all my CEUs were entered wrong, so once I got that resolved, it was cake to finish up. Me and one of the TOs for my department ended up sitting down and basically started over and re-entered everything properly. I have since downloaded a...
Hey, all —
I’m Steven... a newly recertified EMT-B out of Oklahoma. I volunteer for a combination service in Guymon, mainly doing interfacility transfers from our hospital in Guymon to others. Medic school is in my long-range plans... maybe further.
So I was fortunate to have been asked to serve on my employer’s HAZMAT team, and finished the 24 hour initial training. Some of my brothers from the Fire Department were in the same class, and one mentioned that I should be able to count some toward my CEUs. This got me thinking, so I went...

I completed my NREMT recertification by education (NCCP 2016) Tuesday of this week. Just out of morbid curiosity, how long am I gonna have to wait before I find out I’m officially recertified? My TO has already approved all of my CEUs, so that’s no issue, and paid via prepaid voucher, so that...
What I have been absolutely dying to know is... how the crap do these people know they were below passing in anything?!? When I got mine... it didn’t give me a score, just said congratulations on earning your NREMT. I’ve tried EVERYTHING I can think of to find out my scores... nothing works.
I wondered the same thing when I first started, and was told the FD is really an EMS-based FD that puts out a Fire once in awhile... don’t worry about fitting in... they all put their pants on one leg at a time just like us EMTs. This is a department right in the middle of the Oklahoma...
