I am testing on saturday, and as far as I know, it wouldn't hurt you. According to your book, requesting additonal help comes before your primary assessment. As an EMT you are BLS, it never hurts to call for ALS backup should a problem arise. It would only hurt you if you decided not to call and later found a life threatening issue and it was too late.

I am an LPN, which means that I already have IV certification and have taken a college level pharmacology class. I am currenty in an EMT-B class and am testing this month. I was curious if anyone out there knows if there is a way for a nurse to take the basic class and then bridge into an EMT-A? The only difference between a basic and an advanced is the ability to start IVs and there are more medications you are able to give...both of these things involve training that I already have. Any info on this would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!!!
