RN to Paramedic Bridge Course

just wondering if you do know of a school in southeast texas that does have a rn to medic program, i don't care how long it is. I am trying to become a flight nurse and without being a medic i cannot do that here, thanks!!

May not be the quickest commute for you, but Alvin Community College has been very cooperative with me. There is not a set program, but they evaluate your situation on an individual basis and set the requirements accordingly. You can send me a PM if you need more info.

Has a Florida RN taken and RN to EMT-B program out of state and obtained their Florida EMT license upon completion?

Tarrant County college has a new fast track program that accepts paramedics.....

how can i find our where in ohio to get the RN to paramedic thanks indygirl

Where could I find this class?

I am also seeking an RN to medic bridge program. I am a pre hospital RN in pa, but I do want my medic (worked on air ambulance, ground for last couple years). PA has no such animal, and PHRN does not mean anything in other states. interested in methods to bridge in Ohio and MD.

Central Ohio EMS school in Lucas, Ohio has a bridge course but when I looked into it I discovered it wasn't going to be quick. You can only test out of some of the classes and you still have to do all of the clinical time in the ER which for me was stupid since I worked in an ED for 7 years. Otherwise it is a great school and the program looks thorough. I just don't have that kind of time. You can also check out Grant Hospital's Life Link program in Columbus.

OK...yes, "parametics" AKA paraMEDICS do get paid less than RN's. But guess what?? They have it ALL OVER nurses when it comes to field medicine. It's apples and oranges,pal. If you want to be a good flight nurse,ER nurse,etc. you'd do well to get your paramedic license.

had a chance to take a 3month paramedic fast course at walter reed army med cntr few yrs ago "for free" while i was active duty. course was just about 3 months long went to class 5 days a week from 0800-1700 and upon course completion you got to sit for the registry, which at that time the pass ratio was like 95% for the last few classes. my roomate took the course, "i gave him myspot" and he loved it, learned alot. he's an rn now in his home state west va. but he still has his emt-p and rides ems on days off. well i'm a big fancy icu rn, but everyday i kick myself for not going to that course. i think both diciplines can improve your overall practice, i know it would mine.
