Re: National Registry transition courses

[Guest guest]

At the risk of sounding exceedingly stupid, I will ask. " Transition " to what are

you referring to?

BTW if this is something I should have heard about already, dont laugh too hard.

National Registry transition courses

Has anyone heard anything about Texas's plans for the National Registry

ransition courses? I've checked the DSHS website and haven't seen anything yet.

Is the State going to provide the transition courses for current Coordinators

and Instructors so we can then teach the transition courses?

Excellent question. I haven't seen any answers on the list or DSHS website yet.

What if we're already teaching all the " transition " techniques and have been for

years?

Then you have double the work ahead of you.  Essentially, you're going to first

have to take a regression course...then go through a full transition course,

landing you right back where you are now, but with blessings.

Well yes. I must now attend a course to teach me what I have been teaching for

years. When I complete that, if I pass, then I will be certified as a

Paramedic, which I already am in two states. And then when I jump through the

hoops to become an instructor, so that I can teach what I have been teaching

since about 1998, then once again I will be certified to teach what I have been

teaching. But I will have the brand of approval from NREMT.

And my students will then be able to take the transition course that will take

them from what they know to what they know, and they will then be certified as

Paramedics, which they already are.

The world is a strange and wonderful place. Mostly strange.

As I understand it, the states have agreed to this. Further, if we as

NREMT-Ps don't take this course but want to remain nationally certified, we

will then be downgraded to NRAEMT.

But, at that time, will the state continue to recognize us as paramedics?

How does this affect those who have chosen not to keep their national

registry?

All very good questions. I am so glad National Registry has been so helpful and

forthcoming with all this new information.

Perhaps they should offer a new test to see if we all qualify to get the new

information and are able to take the new test?

From The July-August 2011 issue of Texas EMS Magazine, an article by

Harrell:

" If you are certified in Texas EMS and you are not nationally registered or

don’t care about maintaining

your National Registry certification, you don’t have to do anything except

follow the Texas

recertification process to be certified in Texas. "

So the nutshell what I get from that is - Texas isn't altering it's

certification level and it will not impact you.

You can read the article at:

http://www.dshs.state.tx.us/WorkArea/linkit.aspx?LinkIdentifier=id&ItemID=858995\

5979---

It doesn't give much information other than dates and deadlines, but

it

will hopefully assuage anyone who is concerned about their Texas State

Certification.

Cheers,

Joe Percer, LP
