Fair enough, everyone is entitled to their opinion. But I am curious, if it's so useless, why did you need to take it AGAIN for AirEvac? Sure sounds to me like it has some use, and it CERTAINLY has had use for me, for over 40 years........

I'll attach my response from 2020 about NREMT, I think it covers this

Thank you! I'm from PA, it was not mandatory, it was voluntary. I've never regretted obtaining, and maintaining it When I went to NJ in 1990, for a Part-time Medic gig (was there for 27 years), NREMT made it very easy to get my NJ MIC-P cert

Today I received my certificate for 40 Years of NREMT Certification Seems to be much hatred for NREMT by EMS folks, which always amazes me I received my NREMT-A in 1983 and NREMT-P in 1984

Most folks/places consider a minimum of 20 years as a career As such, my WAG (Wild *** Guess) is that may be why they picked 20 years as the first Merry Christmas everyone!

Never thought it was really all that difficult (it isn't) or expensive (it isn't), to maintain it. In the 80's and 90's, I knew lots of folks that hated it, because they could NOT pass it. Just sayin'....... Should be receiving my 40 years certificate soon

Merry Christmas to you and yours!

As I said, as a Paramedic, I have been a member of a Union (not that you really have much of a choice) since the early 1990's (when it got voted in). However, as I work in PA, and formerly part-time in NJ, and have always been hospital based, not "public service" based, for our...

We'll have to agree to disagree I have 30+ years as a union member (not as a Fed/State/County/City "public employee" however), so I have a pretty good idea on how they protect god awful employees, that should have been fired many, many years prior. Yes, I would feel sorry for the wife/children...

I believe that pensions CAN be lost/terminated, due to being found guilty of serious negligence, fraud, etc. Also, if he is eligible for his pension, why are they paying him his full salary until March 2025? Sounds to me like they are "carrying" him, to allow him to get to adequate time in, to...

I support Law Enforcement, but this is an example of why so many people do not. All professions have "bad apples", but how the "bad apples" are dealt with is important. This was very poorly handled, IMO. On PAID leave for over 2 years AND will be allowed to REMAIN on paid leave for another 6...

I wouldn't say it "never" happens (strange things do and will happen), but I would consider it very, very unusual. I've been a career (Full-time career, not "volunteer or part-time", and not with a non-EMS "real job" that pays the mortgage, food, and bills, with EMS as a hobby) Paramedic since...

I'm so very sorry for your loss

Best of luck to you!

Actually, yes, they are really basic questions Then you do NOT know the answer I have met many students/new folks like you They all had ALL the answers The majority also share something else, they are no longer in EMS Not saying you won't make it, but with the attitude you have shown here...

I'm glad it worked out for you, but that doesn't say much for Montana, not responding to your message.

I'm just curious if you heard anything back from the state and what happened?

Congratulations!

Here's the history from the IBSC website I was getting my FP-C recert info in order, noticed this, and remembered this post BCCTPC was formed in the summer of 2000 IBSC was formed in Jan. 2016

Thank you everyone for your responses! Based on these responses, I decided to go ahead and recert my CCEMTP. I just received my new card this morning, so I'm good until Nov. 2026. I really do appreciate everyone's responses!
