Question from a different angle.........

[Guest guest]

I'm certified in Texas as a Paramedic. I'm interested in possibly

taking the national registry paramedic exam.

I AM NOT DUE FOR RENEWAL IN TEXAS, so if i take it and fail the first

time, would it effect my texas cert in any way? Would nat reg contact

texas and tell them if i accidently failed? Or would it just die

unless i passed and then try to recert in a few years for texas with it?

Since i'm current in Texas, trying to do a nat reg exam and since it's

been many moons since i took my initial paramedic course, i'd have to

take a refresher class before testing. That part i understand, but

would i have to test on all the extreme exact skills also before the

wirtten?

thanks, that was all i was expecting......just hoping i didn't have to

do the extreme (natzi like) exact skills testing. I'm still not

convinced that it's to promote professionalism, or just a uppity like

status of passing " their " test.

thanks again.
