I was wondering if anyone could help me. I recently moved to NJ and still a valid EMT cert in NY. Does anyone knw what the rules are down here to obtain a cert or allowing my NY cert to be valid here?
What about GA to NJ? I am an EMT-I in GA moving to the NY/NJ area.
To my knowledge, NJ does not license EMT-I. Unfortunately when I volunteered back in the day we had an EMT-I trained in the Army who was only able to get a Basic NJ state cert. That was 6 years ago so may have changed.
We have tons of standing order but if we want to do something above and beyond we can just call for it, in NJ their are no ALS units correct just BLS with medics in fly cars? My partner at work used to work in NJ..
I'm not sure this is totally correct. I don't work there, but I did my ride-time for paramedic school at University Hospital EMS in Newark NJ. They are all transporting vehicles (BLS and ALS) and I believe Jersey City is the same way. Perhaps these are the only services like that though.
When was this? In NJ, ALS are chase trucks. Some rigs (maybe from hospitals) might have their Medics run on the BLS ambulance though. The scope of the Paramedic is advanced life support, not really transportation. All ambulances in NJ are BLS-equipped.
