I must be missing something here. NREMT-B is more advanced than VAs regular EMT-A class? It was my understanding the whole country was on the same level, and required to be registered to be recognized as an EMT. I mean you could easily fake/cheat or BS your way through a class. The national registry test, background check and whole registry process is what weeds out the potential murderers....
I'm trying to ponder on what would seperate someone who knows CPR and VA EMT. The NREMT can be taught in TWO WEEKS. What the hell could make NREMT so advanced beyond VA EMT?? You spent two weeks in school rather than one? I'm not trying to sound like an a hole, i'm just curious how other states work. I see myself moving in the future. If I didn't have to pay for National Registry, PALS, PEPP, ACLS, AMLS, and ITLS every 2 years in a different state, I could sure save a lot of money.
