Aug 20, 2009 you can try excelsior college, its a distant learning program. i'm not quite sure if it could be called a bridge program but i do know that they accept your paramedic license and previous credits. check them out at excelsior.edu hope this helps
springing 59 Posts Aug 22, 2009 Excelsior takes a LOT of flak on paramedic/EMS forums. Do some searches at emsvillage.com about it. Starting off as a paramedic instead of an LPN, you're already behind other nursing students in certain areas, and Excelsior will do nothing to alleviate that. The only colleges I know of in MI with paramedic-RN programs are SC4, LCC and Southwest Michigan college. Almost every paramedic-RN program I've seen online requires at least 1 year experience before you can get in.
