So I took the NREMT yesterday afternoon and left the testing center angry and depressed, hateful and ready to vomit. I came home and told my wife that I had failed and proceeded to spend the remainder of the day in a slump. I woke up several times in the night, refreshing my candidate app status page so that i could receive my official "you suck" message. Around 8 this a.m. I looked again and yippeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!! I passed. I ran around the house like a kid on christmas! Im soooo relieved to have completed the first step in what I hope will be a long career in EMS. So now what? I mailed in my paperwork to the state last week. Do I just wait now? Have I completed all of the steps to obtain my license? Also, on nremt.org, it says my exp. date is 3/2016 but my understanding was that you had to renew every 2 years and with my DOB being on an even year, I would have to recertify in 2014. Any insight?
Thanks all,

Once you get your NREMT cert you may have to send it to the state. NREMT is done every 2 years. Depending on the month your initial cert will be good for a bit longer.

congrats and good luck
 
How long does it usually take to get your nremt-p card once you pass the written and practical?

A few days to weeks. It all depends on how long it takes for your info to make it to nremt and be verified . If you did your practical before the computer it shouldn't take too long.
