As The Paramedic Coach, the most common questions I get involve passing the NREMT exam. This includes every level of EMS certification, EMR, EMT, AEMT and Paramedic. EMS educators this is great video to share with students prior to the end of classes, so your students know what to expect prior to the NREMT cognitive examination.
So I sat down and complied a list of the most frequently asked questions about the NREMT exam that I get and made this video for you. I want to make sure you are prepared for your upcoming NREMT exam.
Many of questions involve the NREMT exam itself, what to do if you failed an NREMT exam and what to study prior to taking the NREMT exam.
I look forward to seeing your success on NREMT!
Be great,
Evan, The Paramedic Coach

As you enter Paramedic school you are faced with a decision. Do you pursue the certificate in paramedic studies or the associate degree in paramedic studies?
I first share with you exactly what I did so you have some background information on why I did what I did in regards to the paramedic studies degree.
The paramedic studies certificate is usually about half the college credits of the paramedic studies associate degree. You can look up your local community college and see what they have to offer with enrollment in paramedic school.
My hope is that this video can help point you in the right direction if you are on the fence of entering paramedic school or if you can't choose what program to start with.
Be great,
Evan, The Paramedic Coach

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.
Let me know in the comments, what your goals are whether it is the fire service or the ambulance service and what you are doing currently, would love to hear your stories!
Be great,
Evan, The Paramedic Coach

Paramedic school is commonly the second school that an EMS provider will attend. Most people will enter EMS as an EMT, start working or volunteering their time, then set their sights on Paramedic school.
Becoming a paramedic can open the door to more job opportunities and possible placement in area fire departments.
I sat down and jotted down the 5 things that I tell every new paramedic student and every EMT who is thinking about joining a local paramedic college or university.
My hope is that every EMT who has either just started paramedic school or those about to join takes the action steps laid out in this video, it will make the entire process so much easier.
Be great,
Evan, The Paramedic Coach

The national registry of emergency medical technicians (NREMT) is the body that certifies EMTs and Paramedics in the United States. I made a video in late May commenting on a recent article on the NREMT website. The NREMT in June was planning to unveil a new scoring report.
It is now August and we have seen the new scoring reports in action which combines the new scoring feedback for failed NREMT candidates with the old scoring report of: above passing, near passing and below passing.
Reminder if you pass your NREMT, you won't get any feedback from national registry besides the congratulations that you passed your exam.
Be great,
