Hey all - looking for some input on this. I'm an EMT-B student, and the class is about to end. I was wondering if anyone had a sense as to whether or not being a national registry EMT could possibly affect one's ability to be hired either by a transport company or possibly by a hospital as a patient care tech. Neither of these is in my immediate plans – but ether is a theoretical possibility in the not so distant future.
This is not a licensing issue - as I will (assuming I pass the tests) be licensed in both of the states in which I would possibly work for the next few years – at home and at school. I'm asking purely about taking this test as a resume-builder here. Worth the $70 or no? (I'm leaning towards "no - pay for your heat instead" but wanted to double check).
Thanks in advance.
