Hello all.
It is almost going to be one year since I have taken an EMT-B course.
Although I always intended to take the national registry exam soon after taking the course, I never did! (Life problems, moving, etc)
I am very saddened that I neglected to do so, but I now have time during this summer.
Please take note that I am a 17 year old incoming college freshman, does age matter when taking the registry exam? Do I have to wait until I am 18?
There is also something else I did not do that was required of me for the course...it is something called ICS that has to do with FEMA...If anyone can clarify as to what it is and how to access that, that would help a lot.
I am going to be 18 in october, and I will be eligible to have a job at the Hospital as an ER Tech. Can anyone please let me know if Hospitals hire EMTs without ambulance experience? I am a CNA as well, so I hope that helps. Being an ER Tech would be such an amazing opportunity for me come college. When I did the clinical rotations on the ambulance and ED, I much preferred the ED due to the staff dynamic there.
So right now...my issues are:
-Not taking the EMT-B national registry exam in almost one year (few weeks until one year)
-Not doing ICS
Am I eligible to take the exam at 17? If so, any study tips?
If anyone would please give me advice on the whole ER Tech situation, that would be amazing.
Thanks,
HemOnc
