Yes, you read the title right. I am currently in nursing school. I am also an EMT-B, and have been one for 2 years now. I am coming to the realization that I really really enjoy EMS work. What I would like to do is finish nursing school (in Aug) and then get my Paramedic. I am wondering if there is anyone on here that has done this, as it is rather backward compared to the "traditional" way of doing things. If so, what were your reasons for doing so, and do you feel you can still have a more than comfortable way of life (to me that means being able to take a decent vacation once a year). I appreciate any feedback as this is a difficult thought process for me, because I feel I am going against the grain and I just need others non-biased (aka-you don't know me) opinions on the matter.
