Easy for you to say.... Maybe you should google Portland Community College and look at the RN vs Paramedic AAS. The paramedic program actually has more hours, and both degrees are the minimum mandatory to practice in the state with the exact same gen ed and science classes. The only difference is Paramedics filing reciprocity can get a probational cert with there medical directors approval to either finish a bachelors degree in any field or an AAS in paramedicene. The nurses can do something similar at some of the teaching hospitals from my understanding like OHSU... and our pay is tens of thosands of dollars less than a jr college RNAnd there should be no comparison in wages between nurses and EMTs/paramedics, its traning versus education for the most part. No comparison.
