Paramedic to RN programs

[Raquel]

My goal is to be a nurse, but I'm also interested in being a Paramedic too, so I was thinking of maybe doing a RN to Paramedic program.

What do you guys know about those programs? What colleges offer it? advice?

i meant to say Paramedic to Rn program******

 

[medicdan]

Paramedicine and Nursing are not immediately comparable-- and bridge programs from medic to RN are generally cheats and don't provide students with the right tools, but also generally aren't bachelor's degree programs, where BSN has become the industry standard for new hires.

 

[MrBrown]

A nursing or medical degree provides a much better educational foundation to sidestep into becoming dual registered as a Paramedic than vice versa at least in the US
