Hello all, first I would like to say this is my very first post here.
But any who...
I am paramedic here in the states and I am currently in the process of getting my Bachelors of Science in Nursing. From my understanding in New Zealand overseas paramedics must have a bachelors degree and preferably a BS in paramedicine or Emergency Care. My goal would be to transfer to New Zealand (Not for a few years) and work as a upper level paramedic such as a MICA Paramedic while also still being a RN. I would have my experience here in the states of being a paramedic plus my BSN degree and RN transferring over....
So that is the plan... My question is, would New Zealand recognize my training here in the states as an equivalent to the upper level paramedic training for the MICA paramedic?
