Not Yet in School

[Justin08]

Hi Everyone,

I hope this is the right spot for me to post something like this. I am 25yo Male that is thinking of getting into nursing. I have a love for emergency medicine, am currently an EMT-B and I live in Baltimore near some of the best Level 1 Trauma centers in the entire country so it seems like it would be easy enough to get information. Not so. I just got out of the mortgage industry after 5 or so years and for obvious reasons, I am very business savvy and extremely motivated. Problem is I have no college edcuation at all, I went to a very good high school here in Maryland but started working right after. Like I said I love emergency medicine / Trauma and that is what I want to get into but I dont know how. Is a trauma nurse usually just an RN?? I have been on every website for maryland, John Hopkins etc.. with no real luck....I know that there has to be programs where you can work full time and go to school with some sort of tuition reimbursement or the like...right?? I am ready to go into this full time right now but dont know the best way to go about it, should I first try to get a job as a nursing assisant or in antoher position that I am unaware of maybe an EMT bridge class or something?? Sorry for being long in the tounge! Any help is appreciated!! Thanks!
