Yup, that's basically it. I can't be the primary care attendant. Which is quite restricting but my department is being pretty cool about it.

I am licensed at 16.

Interesting. How much time was there between your test and your eighteenth birthday?

I was absolutely not making an excuse. You conveniently cut out the rest of what I said, which was that I was frustrated and should not have said what I said.

Hey, thanks! I really appreciate it. I'll keep my head down and work hard.

I apologized. I was treated very poorly by some people in my class and at places I applied. I shouldn't be taking it out on you guys. I'm sorry again. I really am trying to just get some advice without my abilities or legitimacy being called into question. There's no need to be hurtful. I'm...

I passed!

Florence Nightingale effect?

Oh boy :glare:

Hey, I can appreciate that. I started taking college classes as soon as I turned sixteen because I hated being around most high school age kids. So I understand where you're coming from, for sure. Haha :)

Haha I love it. He is an ornery old dude, a paramedic that's been doing inter-facility transports for god knows how long. Just burnt out I think. But yeah, the experience still wasn't pleasant. Not nice to get a sketchy up and down scan from a guy four times your age.

I am sorry for being cranky. I am tired of being treated as inferior because of my age. I don't believe anyone has answered my question without judgement except for you. People feel safe to be judgmental hiding behind a screen and I don't like it. I have sent emails to both NREMT and MEMS...

Saying that I have "successfully completed it" could just mean that I have successfully TAKEN the exam. Not that I have passed. I'm sure you are smart enough to understand the ambiguity of this statement. I really don't appreciate the condescension. I am a competent person. I earned a...

The confusion is that I am still candidate status on the website, and have not been able to find the confirmation number that assures I have successfully passed the exam. The NREMT is not issuing me any certification. What they are doing is allowing me to take the exam to prove to my state...

On my very first ride along... Was transporting a patient to a rehab facility following hip surgery. PTs son took pictures of ambulance with his phone. My preceptor was very angry. Son said "Okay, I'll cut you out of the picture, but I'm not cutting her out." Followed by a creepy wink. Was not...

I never said that... All I meant was that their choice of words is very deceiving. "Congratulations on successfully completing the cognitive exam." Except you may or may not have actually successfully completed the cognitive exam! Good luck trying to figure that out!

Okay, thanks. Just wanted to confirm that I still need to wait. NREMT loves to mess with us, don't they? :glare:

I spoke to a certification representative before starting this whole process. I will not be nationally certified, but they allowed me to prove my competency by taking the Assessment exam, not the official one. Do your research before giving ultimatums! ;) Anyway, on the CBT Candidate News page...

So I took the Assessment - EMT exam yesterday. I can't take the official one because I'm under eighteen years of age. Checked nremt.org this morning... Go to "Check Initial Entry App Status" and it says "Congratulations on successfully completing the cognitive exam." But I don't see a...

60s and don't know Just took the NREMT-B... It shut off around 67. I actually have no idea if I passed or not.
