The NREMT exam is the examination that certifies emergency medical technicians and paramedics. This includes the EMR, EMT, AEMT and Paramedic national registry exams. My aim with this presentation is to give you a concise study plan that you can use to comeback after failing NREMT.
We do this by reviewing the national registry content, assessing your knowledge along the way and reviewing NREMT practice questions. At The Paramedic Coach, we have thousands of NREMT candidates pass their national registry exam even after multiple failed attempts.
The NREMT exam is broken down into five main parts: Airway, respiration, and ventilation (ARV), cardiology and resuscitation, trauma, medical/OBGYN and EMS operations. At the advanced EMT and paramedic levels we also add a speciality question area called: Clinical Judgement. This is the content areas we need to study to pass the NREMT exam.
As The Paramedic Coach, I am always here to help, let's pass the NREMT!

This video explains how to get started working on the ambulance service (EMS) and describes the ranks and certification levels of the NREMT. I recommend skipping EMR and jumping right into EMT school as this is true "entry-level" position in a paid ambulance position.
Once you gain field experience, working your way from IFT (inter-facility transport) to getting 911 field experience you make the decision whether you want to go to AEMT or Paramedic school to increase your skills, and salary in EMS.
The benefits of becoming a paramedic include increased salary, more job opportunities, higher responsibility and leadership on EMS scenes and increased training opportunities such as becoming a community paramedic, tactical paramedic or flight/critical care paramedic. But before we jump to paramedic school we need to get field experience and have a solid foundation with basic life support care and ambulance operations.
I hope this video gives you some insight into the schooling and daily life of working as an EMR, EMT, AEMT or Paramedic! On this channel, I help EMS students prepare for school, pass school and pass NREMT exams. Join us for a lesson!

EMS providers every two years must submit an application for NREMT recertification. There are two ways you can maintain your national registry certification. The most common route is taking continuing medical education that is CAPCE accredited to gain your NREMT recertification. The second is taking the NREMT exam all over again.
Using online CAPCE accredited CE programs like the NREMT recertification program we offer at The Paramedic Coach you can complete your CE hours at your own pace on any device. The amount of hours you need to recertify differs by provider level. EMR providers need 16 hours, EMT providers need 40 hours, AEMT providers need 50 hours and paramedics need 60 hours of continuing medical education that is state EMS or CAPCE accredited.
The NREMT follows the National Continued Competency Program (NCCP Model) which breaks down your NREMT recertification hours into national component, local component, individual component hours we organize all the requirements for you at The Paramedic Coach.
Finally, I recommend strongly to any EMS providers to maintain their NREMT status as some jobs, promotions, contracts can require it. Also if you decide to move one day it makes EMS certification reciprocity much easier.

If you have a current state EMS certification and want to turn that into national registry (NREMT) certification here is how you do it! Many EMS providers will message me asking about this process usually it is because they are moving to another state or they're new role or job is requiring or asking they become NREMT certified.
The process is pretty similar between the levels of EMR, EMT, AEMT and Paramedic it requires you to take CAPCE accredited continuing medical education programs and pass the national registry exam at your EMS provider level.

This video will show you how to get your NREMT certification back if it has lapsed. NREMT also calls this a re-entry pathway to certification meaning you had your NREMT in the past but now your NREMT has expired.
The first step in gaining your national registry certification back is completing CAPCE accredited CE which is the same hours as a full recertification program hours. The next step after that is passing the NREMT written (cognitive) examination. You will also need to verify your skills to begin to practice again as an EMT, AEMT or Paramedic. I breakdown each national registry certification in the video here for you!

Today is July 1st, 2024 and the new national registry (NREMT) written exam is now live for advanced emts and paramedic candidates. In this concise video, I summarize all the updates from NREMT and what you need to know to prepare and pass the NREMT exam for ALS providers.
The NREMT exam is the exam all levels of EMS certification take after they complete and pass an approved educational program. Once the student passes NREMT, they then apply for their state license to practice and start applying for jobs as an EMT/Paramedic provider.
The national registry has four levels of examination, EMR, EMT, AEMT and Paramedic, the new changes in this video are only for the AEMT and Paramedic level exams.

The NREMT ALS Psychomotor Exams Are Discontinued! Jan 29, 2024

Get my EKG/12-Lead EKG Masterclass: https://www.ekgforems.com
I had to report on yet another important EMS education update from NREMT. The NREMT psychomotor exams for ALS providers such as advanced EMT and Paramedic level exams are being discontinued starting July 1st, 2024.
I believe this is a good step in the right direction for our profession as one of the biggest complaints of NREMT candidates would be an inconsistent testing experience due to different types of proctors or testing centers. This will be especially helpful for those students who if failed had to previously travel to other locations (some time hours and hours away) for another attempt to pass.
Last year NREMT had removed the EMR and EMT psychomotor exams and now they have followed that up with removing the AEMT and Paramedic psychomotor exams. Now students at all levels will have their skills signed off by their class instructors and program directors.
Now every level of certification will have one cognitive examination as reported by NREMT, I never thought I would see the day!

The national registry of emergency medical technicians (NREMT) is the certification organization that allows all EMR, EMT, AEMT and Paramedics to become certified. Since NREMT has partnered up with the National Commission on Certifying Agencies (NCCA) they have making a ton of changes to update their exams.
This is the 3rd update just in the last year from national registry (NREMT) that I have reported on here on the channel. From what I can see, scoring report wise this should be the final change but NREMT does have some changes coming soon to ALS certification exams which I will be reporting on very soon!

The NREMT Exam IS NOT Tricking You Nov 27, 2023

After working with tens of thousands students with the goal of passing the NREMT exam, there are usually four main mistakes the student is making preparing for their NREMT exam. And the strategies I talk about here apply to every EMS certification level; EMR, EMT, AEMT and Paramedic.
The NREMT cognitive examination is broken up into five main categories: Airway, respiration and ventilation, cardiology and resuscitation, trauma, medical/OBGYN and EMS operations with 85% adult questions and 15% pediatric questions.
Too many students use resources that do not help them learn the way they think. If you are a visual learner watching videos may be a lot more helpful than reading chapters in your textbook. Another critical point is that practice questions have a place as an assessment tool but that is not studying content or making you smarter in terms of content. You should study content then assess yourself after studying the content sections.
I hope this video points you in the right direction to conquer and pass your NREMT exam! This is where I send all my students for NREMT prep below:

EMS like a lot of fast paced professions that have a high degree of responsibility some people get burned out. And that can happen to anyone seeing some of the calls that we see. I know for me personally, if someone mentions, what's the craziest call you had? There's a handful of scenes that automatically pop into my head.
What's not okay is providers who make fun of new people, don't remember how it was when they first started out or even worse bring their personal drama to their ambulance work. I have always been a big on separating work life from your personal life especially when working 911 EMS.
In this video, I breakdown a poll that some of my original students answered back in 2020 on what makes a great EMS partner. I can tell you from experience who you work with really makes or breaks EMS work, try out different shifts and try to find 3 to 5 partners that really enjoy working with it will serve you incredibly well.

In EMS education, we always go over the emergent situations and scenarios to make sure we ready when that 911 call comes in. But few EMS educators talk about the how to protect both the patient and yourself on "everyday calls."
In this video, I talk about patients who may be under the influence of drugs or alcohol and how to best assess them. What makes a great EMT or Paramedic is to always put yourself in the patient's shoes.
If you called 911, how would you want to be assessed, how would you like the EMT or Paramedic to speak with you about your care. After seeing hundreds of alcohol-related calls in the ambulance, I came up with my own "ETOH Assessment" that I now share with you.
This patient assessment skill that I teach you will not only be great for your documentation to cover yourself, but will also help the patient if something else is going on that is causing their altered mental status. Do this for every altered mental status call, and you can't go wrong.

When figuring out what first responder career is right for you, many new students get stuck on whether to become a firefighter or a paramedic on the ambulance service. Some start their career by being on a volunteer fire department while others try to volunteer at their local ambulance corps.
Which ever path you want to take the first step I recommend to everyone is your EMT class, that gives you a foot in the door in both professions, then based on your experiences, where you want to live, and the options presented to you, you can make a decision on the fire department or stick with EMS completely.
I discuss in this video the main differences between working as a firefighter and working as a paramedic, my aim is that this video puts you on the right path. One key note, if you are brand new is that aiming for your Paramedic certification in some fire departments, this alone can make you a stand out candidate to join.
For those of you that already possess fire certifications, gaining a EMS certification and going through EMT school or Paramedic school can help you a ton with getting hired.

Becoming a paramedic can open the door to more job opportunities and possible placement in area fire departments.

Going from EMT to Paramedic is the biggest career jump you will make in the EMS profession. EMT class is typically 12 weeks, while Paramedic college can be minimum 14-18 months, most are two years in program length.
When working on the ambulance, I always enjoyed working with partners who were EMTs that were in Paramedic school as I could teach and assist them while we were at work. This video is condensed version of how I would help my EMT partner transition into becoming and thinking like a paramedic would.
I'm aware that not every EMT wants to become a Paramedic, and we all know EMTs save Paramedics BUT if you know in your heart of hearts that you want to serve your community as a Paramedic and make the jump. This video is made for you.

NREMT Article: https://www.nremt.org/News/National-Registry-Adopts-Scaled-Score-Reporting-fo
The NREMT announced last month that they will be changing the way failed candidates receive feedback on their failed NREMT attempt. Traditionally if you fail NREMT, you get back either a below passing, near passing or above passing result marked in the 5 main categories.
The 5 national registry exam categories of Airway/Respiration/Ventilation, Cardiology and Resuscitation, Trauma, Medical/OBGYN, and EMS operations would each give you back one of the above "scores." Now the NREMT is changing this to what I believe will be some sort of "stat" or "numeric" value.
The news article simply states that a "scaled score" will be provided, I hope a example will be provided for candidates to see soon. Reminder to all there is no said change to the way the exam itself is scored, rather NREMT aims to provide more feedback to failed attempts in order to help assist the student pass next time.
If you have failed NREMT or are preparing for the NREMT exam at any certification level this is the resource I give all my students to prepare and pass: https://www.prepareforems.com

When a new EMT or rookie EMT starts at an ambulance service for the first time, there is a TON of pressure on them to perform. As their should be EMS deals with people in their worst moments.
With that being said, I had an exact training program, I would put all EMT students and new EMT partners through to make sure they were comfortable with their new equipment and EMT skills.
I share with you a story of a new EMT partner I had and how I got him from extremely uncomfortable to confident professional, he later went on to become a Paramedic himself.
Whether you are tasked with training or teaching EMTs or you are a new EMT/rookie EMT yourself, I believe you will find some valuable tips in this video podcast.

These EMS mnemonics have shaped the way that I practiced and teach EMTs and Paramedics. When you are in EMT school, you will learn some basics mnemonics like: SAMPLE, OPQRST, and AEIOU TIPS.
These mnemonics I cover in this video ensure that you are covering all your bases when treating EMS patients. I want to give a shoutout to one of my educational mentors, John Bielinski Jr, PA-C who was the origin of some of these mnemonics I present here.
These EMS mnemonics like AAC, PAPPA, HORID, RR OWL, give you a way to fully evaluate your emergency patient quickly and efficiently. Using some of these mnemonics when I was a new paramedic helped me tremendously in ride time and when I was precepting under senior medics.
I now want to pass these on to you, if you enjoy these mnemonics please pass them on to a partner or student it will help elevate our EMS care.
If you are new here, welcome to The Paramedic Coach channel and podcast, where I teach and discuss EMS education and training.

The NREMT exam is a cognitive exam that students must pass in order to gain national EMS certification. This NREMT certification allows the student to now apply to become licensed in their state. The NREMT exam is broken up into 5 main sections that you must study in order to pass the NREMT exam.
I have personally worked with tens of thousands EMS students over the years helping them pass their NREMT exam and this is what I have learned working with them.
I wanted to create a video showing you the biggest mistakes students make studying for the NREMT exam. By the way this includes every level of certification: EMR, EMT, AEMT and Paramedic.
If you received a below passing or near passing on NREMT, I recommend following the advice in this video and lengthen your study time, I'm here to help.
I look forward to seeing you succeed with NREMT!

Welcome to The Paramedic Coach Podcast Episode 2! One of the most critical roles as EMTs and Paramedics is lifting and moving patients. Unfortunately, your patient can be anywhere, requiring various lifting techniques and procedures.
Secondly, working in the back of the ambulance, all day there is a lot of bending and awkward movements you will be required to perform. For example, starting a difficult IV while the ambulance is moving and keeping your balance. I could go on and on but core strength and strong functional lifting abilities will help you tremendously in EMS.
One thing I didn't mention in the podcast video, that I want to mention here is stress management and taking time to make sure YOU are healthy and that YOU are OK. So many of us in EMS focus on patient's day in and day out that we forget to take care of ourselves.
I hope the practical tips in this video help you become a stronger and more fit version of yourself so that you can continue to be an asset to the communities you serve!
