The pay isn’t going up anytime soon why should the skill level…I say get rid of the test all together, and just have a field internship at the end of paramedic didactic and you’re done
I just took my Paramedic Psychomotor exam and I passed it. The people that was there from the National registry said starting July 1st 2024, the new test goes into effect. They said they believe they added 40 more questions to the Paramedic Nremt cognitive test and they are given you more time for the test. They didn't say how much more time but they said they added 40 more questions to the Paramedic exam.
These types of questions are similar to those of the Next Generation NCLEX, and scores have improved greatly across the board as a result. Im hoping this increases scores for the prehospital providers as well. Im glad they are revisiting how they test!
I can understand why you're skeptical but all the req'd hours training inside and out of the hospital to get your certification make the psychomotor exam basically obsolete
The way private EMS is going all we're going to be trained how to do is to collect insurance information and get under the hospital. That's it. It's like the 1970s all over again
Im in medic class right now and will be the first class at the school to not have the skills portion but our insrtuctor said that we will have our own little "skills day" at the end, it just wont be offical. Plus between lab, clinicals at the hospitals and ride time on the box, you will get your skills done and tested.
@@Mafiaman677 Good luck to you and I'm sure you'll do very well. The skills portion of the psychomodo testing is quite essential to your future success.
Just like the NCLEX for nurses. You only take the written to be certified. Makes sense you're already doing clinicals and a preceptor is there evaluating your skills consistently. By the time you're done with all your classes you're already set with your skills. You just to pass the written. That's why the questions are challenging. This is great news.
You can’t compare a Nurses knowledge to a Paramedics the requirements to get into the nursing program vs a paramedic program are totally different so those two shouldn’t be compared when it comes to obtaining your license .
You can go from Basic to Medic with no other classes taken the knowledge of a nurse and a paramedic shouldn’t be compared and if they are doing that and creating challenging questions based on that get ready for a serious shortage in the field .
Why are they stopping it? I just had to take them and it's really not hard. If you can't perform the basic aspects of the job you shouldn't be doing it.
@@EdWard-ie5wnI mean I am in the medic class that will be apart of this new switch but I dont see the big deal really. We have proctored labs that we have to check off on our skills, we have clinicals where we are proctored at the hospitals and they check off on our skills and then we have the medic units (ride time) where again we are proctored and have to meet satisfactory fields to pass. I guess I can't speak for any class but they make sure we are ready for graduation.
I think they should do away with the NREMT, its like a good ol boys club, and you pay a fee. If we are all the same across the states, then each state should recognize each others EMS, and have reciprocity for anyone.
i agree but states don't do that, and every state is different with protocols and scope. So unless the entire nation as a whole came together and agreed on protocols and scope of practice for EMT, AEMT and PARAMEDIC, we are going to run into the same issue. NREMT just makes it easier to obtained your certification if you were to go from one state to the next since it's certification is based on a set of accepted standards used throughout the country. But you still have to read and follow your state or local protocols. A lot of states give you what you can and can not do, but your medical director can make adjustments as long as it stays within state guidelines.
I don’t think it is that crazy. I’m in medic school now. The skills we learn are pretty easy imo to test out on. Doing them in the real world is entirely different from clinical experience. I haven’t experienced psychomotor but only reason I’m sad it’s gone is because people got some cool stories out of it.
So I have been a State Certified Paramedic for 25+ years. I never had to take NR because of that. So now, if I want NR after July, all I have to do is written test? Is that correct?
I have a question. What if you are someone who has completed your EMT-certified course in January of 2024 and failed to schedule your psychomotor + cognitive exam prior to the psychomotor discontinuance deadline. Are you no longer eligible to become an EMT because the requirements have changes? Will I be eligible to take the AEMT cognitive exam instead to get certification? Is the knowledge gap between an EMT and AEMT substantial? Please someone let me know.
If I'm mistaken all the skill verification will be done in the classroom as apart of your course. Your instructor will have to sign off on your skills and submit paperwork that they signed stating that you have shown competency in those skills.
New subscriber.. any way you could do a salary video? Thinking about becoming an EMT and then furthering my career by going paramedic route but can't find much online about salaries ect. Love the content brother!
Salary is okay as a paramedic I’ve seen here in California go up to $30-$45 ish an hour. Remember you can work 6 days a week 10+hr shifts. As an Emt I’ve seen people starting at 20+ some get up to $25 ish. Also unlimited OT. Always busy.
I literally just finished taking the paramedic exam. Like 30 minutes ago. I had one of those clinical judgment scenarios on my test. It makes me wonder how they will score the questions that require multiple responses… If you miss one, do you miss the whole question? Will they award partial credit? Thank you for the update !
Hello Sir, I am jampa and doing EMT certificate in India. So within one and halfyear I will be New York. So will you advise me how India EMT certificate convert into USA EMT. It’s really helpful to me
I have a serious question⁉️⁉️ I am an army combat medic and we take the emt but are now starting to switch over to aemt. I took the cognitive exam for aemt in 2022 and passed and that is good for 2 years. On July 1st 2024, would that mean that I can obtain an aemt certification since I passed the Cognitive exam?
@@alexiamartinez3871 once you buy his course it’s for lifetime, I used the accelerated course which basically goes over everything in short format but with enough detail to know it well. I 100% recommend you get it
Seems like a conflict of interest. IMPO, with a trend toward paramedics already lacking significant ability to do a thorough and proper exam just furthers support, FROM SOME, that believe Paramedics MUST have to complete a MS level degree in order to be higher level practitioners. As one who commonly performs QM and Education, theirs is a significantly, increased lacking in recent years due to “meat in the seat” standards. The day of Paramedics leaving class and READY to be the primary on a 911 truck is something of the past and requires significant hours of the “buying” agency to get a proficient and competent product. This will be one of those boomerang things or have a significant rebound effect.
You should be doing skills testing in your EMT school. I'm a NREMT instructor, ask your course coordinator at what point will you do your skills testing.
Hopefully in the near future, we aren’t just referring to just EMT basics anymore. I love for us to take on a more expanded scope of practice that will, hopefully lead to better compensation
Honestly, the psychomotor was a waste of time - at least for medics. If they had been done prior to internship I could see a point to them, but most schools have them once you're done your field rotations. Sort of pointless IMHO.
This right here is the beginning of the end for EMS. Not only are we not considered essential services like the police or the fire department but now our training is taking a huge step back because forcing people to study and learn things is too difficult for the new generation. Instead of getting rid of basics and advanced EMT and just making everyone the same, NREMT is choosing the stupid route as usual.
I’m not a fan! I think I acquired grey hair and stomach ulcers over this exam! If I did, new medics should to! This is part of the registry hazing process.. Seriously though I hope they are making the right move with this .. I feel like this could make it easier to make it through the cracks…
I dont really see how in a way. Im apart of this switch so im a little bias but we still have to perform our skills in labs, clinicals at hospitals and ride time. In lab we are given plenty of scenarios that are graded. Plus we have a longer written test so I dont find it to be that great of a trade off. Id rather be the nervous one and only having to worry about a psychomotor tbh. Lol

I will be one of the firsts to be apart of this. Our instuctor said NREMT test will be giving us 3 hrs now.
I actually really like the look of the new "Clinical Judgement" content area of the test! I like how it's basically a sim but in word form.
I’m not sure if this will be favorable.
I precepted an EMT psychomotor in December 2023.
These types of questions are similar to those of the Next Generation NCLEX, and scores have improved greatly across the board as a result. Im hoping this increases scores for the prehospital providers as well. Im glad they are revisiting how they test!
We are the last class that has to do it. We have to take it in April.
you will still have to take the new one
Not if he passes before July 1
I just passed my EMT class and im still expect to take the NREMT state practical exam in ct
It's not hard. Just make sure you have your assessments down
I think that’s horrible, you need to be tested at the national level to ensure everyone skills are on the same page.
That’s what the cognitive test are for and ftos. No need to waste money so you redue the course.

Any word on how they will handle those who let their national certification expire, and are trying to regain it?

I was apart of the last cycle of classes at my college to receive the NREMT psychomotor. I believed my whole class passed.
Will AEMT ER & ambulance clinical hours be used towards your skills evaluation?
The fact that they take this away and still can't provide any feedback for the cognitive exam is piss poor care for our industry.
I recently took my NREMT, and I already got questions like that… maybe it was just pilot questions 9:34

Ohh shut up. At the end of the day, our job is to transport.. you’re acting like billions of patients are dying due to lackluster care.
Evan the psycho motor is the skills test, right
Because my professor said, we have to do psycho motor, even though we are just basic EMTs students
You should be doing skills testing in your EMT school. I'm a NREMT instructor, ask your course coordinator at what point will you do your skills testing.
