Well here's the deal.
In Tennessee, there are 4 levels of EMS provider.
EMT
EMT-IV (starts IVs with NS or LR)
EMT-P
CCEMT-P
As you can see there is not a level that is up to par with NR EMT- I or NR EMT-A.
Thus, I have been unable to locate a program that I can go through the classes and upgrades to get NREMT-A with.
I do not want to stay in TN for ever, as well as rumors have been flying that TN will go to the EMT-B and EMT-A, but thats not going to take place untill the rumor has it 2015.
So my question is, does any one know or have an IDea on how to get said courses/clinicals completed for this whilst still working as an EMTIV?
One Idea I had was to find the program in KY near the TN border and Obtain a KY EMT-B licence and go that route... Any one think of a better way?
Pros & Cons?
