This 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.
