I've achieved certification as an NRP and recently received my State card here in California. My question pertains to recertification of my National Registry in two years. I work as a Park Ranger and see some calls for service. Though we are considered first responders, our scope is limited.
With regard to recertification, NR requires 6 months of verifiable experience working EMS (or in a hospital/clinic???) to apply for inactive status (not currently working EMS). I've talked to NR on the phone multiple times with limited success. Does anyone have any experiences they'd like to share or good advice on this subject?
In addition, my employer has tapped me to become our CPR instructor. As previously mentioned (we have a limited scope ie Heartsaver/FA). Down the line I plan to move the department up to BLS, possibly higher depending. Some of my coworkers hold First Responder/EMT-B certifications. Would it be worth while to affiliate my agency with NR???
