Don't EMT's make wayyyy less than nurses?

The answer in the USA is no. I'll move this to the Phillipines where it might be different.

Paramedics are different from nurses and have different trainings and requirements that need to be met. In the RN program, you are not permitted to even all of the procedures required of the paramedic as well.

In your country, you may on a nurse ambulance, but most definitely not in the role of the paramedic. You are also going to find it difficult to get a job on an ambulance as a new grad without any clinical experience. There are too many things that you would be responsible for doing that you have never even covered in your program as a start in nursing.

You would have to complete the training as an EMT to be considered for that role as well. Training as an RN does not meet the requirements to use that title either.

In no way, shape, or form, does your training, or the training of any new grad, meet the requirements for a first responder at an accident scene.
