i didnt have the ambition to read through everything in here way too late still cant fall asleep but everything began to blur as i read it so if it was said in here im sorry...
ELIMINATE NREMT it is nothing but a money making gimmic and at 130 a pop for the medic test and basic i think in the 70's they sure make a killing on it.
Make states create there test to accomodate their approved protocols and meet the NHSTA guidline or better yet make the standards nationwide and then we could keep the godforsaken NREMT and actually use the drugs and protocols we are taught that in most cases are thrown out the window the day after you find out you passed the class. no havent taken the test but i think that it would either cut down on confusion or make it that we were a universal and wouldnt be governed by multiple redunant levels. my state PA has approved protocols then it kicks down to ems councils which cover different regions, and then different medical directors for each unit. If only it was universal it would be simple. but who would have thought of that.
Also if we were universal we might not be looked at as the very bottom of the totem pole by everyone else in the medical field. hey we might make a few extra bucks and be looked at as professionals.
Wow that was a mouthful must be my long lenghty post kind of night
