Paramedic to RN

[Haynesx7]

I have been a paramedic for over 20 years, in Emergency services for 24 years. I must get out!!!!!! I am looking for an online paramedic to RN transition / bridge progam with minimal prerequisites (I do not have any. ) and the search online is nothing short of frustrating. Obvioulsly I would like to get finished ASAP (without sacrificing learning what I need to learn). I've worked as a PCT, Monitor Tech, fixed wing flight medic, triage medic in an ER, etc. I'm basically saying that I'm not a 2 year medic looking for the easy way. My wife and I are both medics, we have 5 kids (19 and in college, 16, 12, 10, and 8 yrs old) and are very busy...but this transition MUST be made! Does anyone have any info that might help me? I would appreciate any information.

I would recommend contacting your local community college. Many community colleges offer such programs (there are 3 here in my state), and tuition for these programs will be thousands of dollars less than in an online school.

Also, some of the online programs are not recognized by some State Boards of Nursing (which might make it difficult to obtain a RN license in your state).
