by traumasurgRN Jan 7This may be a dumb question, but I am slightly confused as to what the requirements are to gain the CCEMT-P certification. I may be reading it wrong, but does one have to be an actual EMT before gaining this? I have seen in some places online that nurses can gain this certification, but do they have to be an EMT also? I am interested in Critical Care Transport, and I have seen that the major teaching hospital in my state requires this cert to do Adult CC Transport.

Jan 8 by Medic09Most places that offer the course (it is franchised from UMBC) state that it is open to nurses. I would say contact your local instructing agency or UMBC directly. That's the best way to be sure you get reliable information. - Jan 9 by akulahawkCCEMTP is the Critical Care Emergency Medical Transport Program. It's not a Paramedic course, and will not confer a Paramedic cert on anyone passing the course. From what I understand, it's a course that gives you an overall perspective on critical care transport. In short, it's essentially an intro course. It's not a comprehensive course that will render the graduate an expert in Critical Care Transport. That doesn't mean that it's not a good course. I may take it eventually. The fact that Paramedics, RN's, RT's, and others can take the course is actually a good thing because it provides a common basis for those different care providers to work from, and work together.
