Hey, guys!

I'm currently taking an EMT-B course in Texas which is scheduled to be complete towards the end of February. Due to unforseen circumstances, I've just discovered that I need to move to Florida shortly after I finish the class.

Can I get my certificate to take the NREMT in Texas and then actually take it in Florida? If not, can I take the NREMT in Texas, but then apply for licensure in Florida without having done so in Texas first?

Thanks!

you should be able to (I know many paramedic students that have traveled to other states to do their cognitive exams), and the written is simply a person vue test center. check out https://www.nremt.org/rwd/public/document/emt for more details.

yes, provided you have an valid NREMT card (as per http://www.floridahealth.gov/licensing-and-regulation/emt-paramedics/licensing/index.html)
