    How Many EMT's does your department have

    in General EMS Discussion

    Posted

    I am the service director for a first responder unit, and we are thinking of upgrading our service to emt-basic non transport. i was wondering how many emt-basics your department has to make 24/7 coverage possible. im not talking members on your roster, but how many emts actually do the work to keep your service 24/7 compliant. I cant find a definate or estimate answer anywhere with the state, but was hoping everyone on here could help me get a rough number.

    If your trying to cover one unit. you will need at a minimum of (9) nine emt-b's. That will give you one unit on call 24/7 with the personal on duty 24 hrs. on 48 hrs. off. If you add a supervisor you'll have 10 personal. From that point on if you add another uint you'll add 9 emt-b's for each unit you need the field. Plus one supervisor/shift. Unless your talking about one man units. That would mean you only need (1) person per 24 hour shift. With one man units you may be able to use less supervisors.------Hear endeth the lesson.

    Can anyone tell me which states do not require NREMT for registration as a Paramedic?

    Thanks

    NORTH CAROLINA DOES NOT REQUIRE THE NATIONAL REGISTRY FOR PARAMEDICS OR EMT'S. SOUTH CAROLINA DOES FOR THE PARAMEDIC LEVEL BUT NOT FOR EMT'S. :)
