I have training similar to a WFR that I got in Argentina. I wanted to certify as an EMT in California because why not? It's 160 hours of classes plus 24 hours or practical or something like that for the national exam and then it's the state requirements. Private training is around 2000 dollars. Ok I'm cool with that.
There's no way to get a certification with online learning or with any kind of in person time schedule compatible with my job... ok... maybe I can get time off? I have to re-get all sorts of immunizations I already have and re-do medical checks that I already had to get for my green card, like a year ago... ok... that's a lot more time off. Oh, they drug check me! well... I guess even I would work on healthcare more for vocational reasons I'm not doing it while I'm in California. It's just too much of a hassle and with the staff shortages I feel I'm just being taken advantage off.
In Nevada it's only take the course, pass the exam and you can already go on an ambulance, so are most other states.
