I made it into and out of school right before the raised the standard of care. I didn't understand that when i received my state certification for both TN, and CA I only had two years to make the transition to AEMT or EMT-P. I got into EMS with the understanding that I wanted to become a paramedic and a firefighter in the long run. I realize now that i have less than two years to complete my medic school and pass my national registry. I don't want to wast my time on AEMT when i have been excepted to my medic program that is a year and a half long. is anyone else running into problems like mine? Tennessee has really high standard for all EMS.

You have 2 recert cycles, 4 years, to bridge from EMT-I/99 to EMT-P, otherwise you have to take a transition course, which is usually included in your refresher, to keep your EMT-I/85 (goes to AEMT) or EMT-B (goes to EMT). I'm not actually srue what you're talking about either though, your post doesn't make much sense

No. They don't. At least not per registry.
Did your employer tell you this?
