Hey Everybody,
My ultimate goal is to become a flight nurse. Right out of highschool I recieved my CNA and EMT-B certification. I currently work at a level II trauma center, 250 bed hospital in the float-pool, where I feel like I have been able to network myself pretty well.
I am currently enrolled at our university for a BSN and minor is business. I have a couple more prereqs to go before I start my clinical stuff. I decided to enroll part-time and take an 18 month paramedic program this year (most people think I am crazy... I think I am crazy).
There is a local university here that has a Medic to RN bridge course, where you challenge your first clinical rotations in nursing. It is only a Associates degree though. My first question is- stay in the bachelors or take the associates degree and bridge later?
My second question is, is there anybody out there that works part-time ICU nurse and part-time medic?
My third is CCRN vs. CCEMT, is it worth pursing both, does one weigh in more than the other.
I live in Maine if anyone was wondering, and am 20 y/o.
