Certification Question

[EMT-B Girl]

Ok like I said in my other post I take the NREMT test tomorrow. But I already passed the classroom test state examiner and the final over 42 chapters does that mean I am state certified cause I got a certificate when I completed the course. If so why do the NREMT?

No you ahave only completed the coarse allowing you to take the NREMT and state test. you have to sign up for the state and turn in fingerprints and a background check to get your state cert. the NREMT is so that you can practice in any state and it look better on an application. if you don't plan on leaving the state then you don't have to take it...but i recomend that you do because it shows you how much you really know.
