Who are the three "mystery states"?

[bstone]

According to the Federal Interagency Committee on EMS's report entitled "2011 National EMS Assessment":

With 49 states providing data, it was noted that 41 (84%) of the states utilize the National Registry of EMTs for entry-level assessment of EMS professionals. Of the 8 states that do not use the National Registry of EMTs, 3 indicated that they plan to use the National Registry of EMTs in the future.

I wonder who those 3 states are. Any guesses?

But then the next page says

Information was provided by 7 of 8 states currently not using the National Registry of EMTs. It was noted that 4 of the 7 states plan to utilize the National Registry of EMTs for entry-level assessment of EMS professionals in the future. P261 of 550

This is a positive trend. Not because I am in love with the NREMT, but because I feel that a national certification is well overdue.

Lastly, on p263 there is a typo where they label the National Registry as the "MREMT". Oops!

So does mean being I reside in PA that it would be pointless to get my National? Or does it simply mean it would mean nothing to PA but in other states it does. I prolly answered my own question but why not

Pennsylvania only requires you to take (and pass) the NREMT exam to become certified as a medic. If you're taking a basic class, you can still opt to take the NREMT-B tests, and it may even be part of your class depending on where you take it from, but you're not required to have NREMT.

ok thanks. I just wasnt sure if it would be an advantage for me. I am now a EMT in the state of PA so I guess next is Paramedic

Indiana acceptance National Registry reciprocity IF you took an Indiana approved curriculum course. The only difference is Indiana test on terrorism. It is truly a hassle to get an Indiana cert that way, complete with quoted codes and crayon pictures.

This is pretty much why I advocate for the NREMT. I think the organization itself is majorly flawed, but you can't deny the value of a national certification and having that cert.
