If you're looking for BLS practical testing, the NREMT website is absolutely useless. EMT-B practical testing is coordinated by the state Dept. of EMS, and they should have a list of testing places and dates. I think you have to register 15 days in advance, but it would be a good idea to get it...

I've never heard of WEMT, just looked it up and it seems like a great idea. Do you know of how legal issues are handled for Rx though? Wikipedia says that in some cases there are standing orders for prescription-only drugs, including some narcotic drugs. Do these standing orders stop when a...

Hey everyone, I was just wondering if you guys have any insights as to the difference between working in a rural environment and an urban/suburban environment? I know that a lot of times in a rural environment, it can take much longer both to arrive at the scene and to get to a hospital...

Massachusetts does not require or accept NREMT licensing. If you have it, the only thing it gets you out of is taking a class; you still have to take both practical and written tests. If you have a license from another state, the law says that you only have to take the written but in practise if...

In the scenario, they do want you to call for ALS but they're always busy or 20 minutes out. You should never wait for ALS to arrive in the scenario, that's not what they're testing you on, they want to see that you can do everything you need to without help. Most of the scenarios are rapid...

Alright, thanks! I'll look for ones that I can get to, and I'll talk to them. I honestly thought that there were NREMT practicals more often, but I guess not... thanks though!

Hey everyone, this looks like an excellent forum and I'm glad to join you all! I was wondering if you might be able to help me with a question about the NREMT practicals. I tested in CT but am currently located in MA, which of course doesn't recognise the NREMT and therefore doesn't offer...
