Hi there. I have quite a problematic situation and I need a little help. I earned the certification of paramedic (NREMT) in November of 2015. I wont bore you with the details, but I was offered a employment as a tech at a local hospital and I took it in hopes of workin' both as an EMT-P and ER Tech. The problem arose when I received three tickets due to speed and AMR said no. The NREMT expiration date is 03/2018 and I have no OTEP or CME credits or hours other than ACLS/ BLS/ PALS. This is my third year of my NREMT-P certification. Even if start with a volunteer department...I still have to make up my hours not to mention IV starts and Intubations. I haven't been a medic in that time.
Guys, I've really messed up royally. Time flies. I beat myself up about it even more now that time is nearly up. I'm determined to work hard to earn those edu credits and skills if it's possible.
My question is this...is my situation able to be rectified to recertify and 'keep' my medic? I reside in the state of WA. The first ticket disappears in October 2018. I would need to volunteer with a fire dept until then as other companies have the same policy around here. Thanks for your time.
