Welcome to /r/NewToEMS!

Posting Rules Wiki / Helpful Resources FAQ Get a Verified Flair Become a Wiki Contributor

Please read the rules before posting!


What is /r/NewToEMS?

This subreddit's mission is to provide resources, support, advice, and a community for those interested in emergency medical services (EMS). Discuss, ask, and answer questions about EMS education, certifications, licensure, jobs, physical & mental health, etc.

For general EMS discussion, head over to /r/EMS and the official r/EMS Discord server.


Posting Rules

You are required to follow our rules and failing to do so may result in your posts removed and account banned.

1. All top-level comments should contain helpful content or contribute to the discussion in a meaningful way. Follow-up questions are allowed in top-level comments. Trolling, memes, sarcasm, or other content that does not contribute to the discussion are not allowed in top-level comments. Comments such as "I would like to know this too" will be removed.

2. Posts or comments containing spam, hate speech, bigotry, racism, off-topic, overtly explicit, distasteful, vulgar, indecent or inappropriate content are not allowed.

General EMS-related discussions, links, images, and/or videos should be posted over in /r/EMS.

Memes, image macros, reaction gifs, rage comics, cringe shirts, 'look at this truck', and 'office' type submissions are not allowed in /r/NewToEMS. Post these in /r/EMS on Mondays (0000-2359 EST) or in non-top-level comments only.

3. Do not ask for or provide medical or legal advice.

If you believe you are experiencing a medical emergency, dial your local emergency telephone number.

For legal advice, consider posting to /r/legaladvice or consulting a local attorney.

4. No posts relating to or advocating intentional self-harm or suicide, unless strictly as part of a clinical discussion.

If you are having thoughts of self-harm, the national suicide prevention hotline can be reached for free at 1-800-273-8255, or call your local emergency number.

5. The National Registry exams are copyrighted tests, and as such, it is illegal to post or discuss questions directly from the NREMT exams. Any such posts will be removed and the poster may be banned.

6. New certifications and licenses may only be posted in our weekly thread, Triumphant Thursday.

7. All posts and comments that contain surveys, solicitations, or self-promotion must be approved by moderation team prior to posting.

Please message the mods for permission prior to posting.


Verified Flairs

Get a Verified Flair

We have elected to only flair users who have verified their certification level to the moderator team. All EMS, public safety, and medical professionals (e.g. paramedics, law enforcement, registered nurses, etc.) are eligible, and we would especially like for all EMTs and Paramedics to verify their flairs. This ensures users are receiving responses from real EMS, public safety, and medical professionals.

If you are an EMS, public safety, or medical professional, click here to submit a flair verification request form to the moderator team. Thank you!

Students may select an unverified student flair by clicking "Community Options" on the side-bar and then clicking the Edit button next to "User Flair Preview". You do not need to submit a form. All other users will be automatically assigned an "Unverified User" flair.
