Re: Initial licensure question

[Guest guest]

Mike,

Alfonso is correct, I reviewed the application and it is a little

misleading I will see if we can't correct it. Anytime you have a question

concerning a

rule or the application process you can always contact your state EMS

regional representatives, the Austin office or e-mail me

directly(_maxie.bishop@..._ (mailto:maxie.bishop@...)

).

If you meet the following requirements simply complete the application

submit the fees and a copy of your degree. Once this information is verified

your

licensure will be issued.

Mike,

I went through the same process back in February when I applied for

initial licensure. I was an EMT-P since 2003 but had let my NR lapse.

All that is required is your pertinent personal information and a

copy of your degree or transcript. Leave the NR field blank. I

didn't have any problems.

Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

Cheers.
