First Time NREMT Recertification
I've volunteered in the Emergency Room for a year while taking some classes in college such as Anatomy, Microbiology, and Chemistry which I believe that they would consider as my continuing education. However, I am still seeking for employment here in South Bay Los Angeles, California, and I have 7 months left for my recertification. I am going to take my 24 hours EMT-Refresher class this week and my CPR Card this month. The problem is I did not get any employment during the past 1 1/2 years. Still, I am trying to get a job because it is competitive in our area especially if you do not have an Ambulance Driver Certificate that I just got last month and past employment experience which I did acquire in Volunteering in the ER.
My questions are:
1) What would I fill on the "EMT- Recertification Form. Section:Employer Information"?
2) Also, there is another box saying, "Inactive Status Request"?
3) Do I need to submit a proof of employment on my 1st recertification?
I can obtain this documents with no problem:
1) Signatures on the form.
2) Copy of EMT Basic Refresher Certificate
3) CPR Card
4) Verification Signature
I am not requesting to become inactive but on the button it says:
"If this is your first time to recertify, you must have worked for atleast 6 months performing as an (EMT-Basic) and using your skills in either the emergency ambulance/rescue or patient care setting. You will need to submit a proof of employment."
The only proof that I could show is my recommendation letter that I've volunteered in the ER. I am not sure if they would accept it in case they would require me to send a proof of employment.
Thank you guys.
