Paramedic to RN

Don't have any specific education recommendations, but I wish you good luck with your future choices! I know a few paramedics that have made the switch to RN, a couple were very happy with it and a couple found the RN life very mundane compared to their paramedic days. You have an excellent grasp of prehospital medicine as a paramedic which will serve you will since that's not covered in most nursing programs. You will understand patient presentation, the importance of assessment and developing efficient communication related to patient handoffs, probably more than many of your fellow classmates. You can probably be successful in whatever education venue works out for you. Good luck!

I've never seen a community college with an accelerated program except for some LPN to RN programs which I think have gone the way of the Dodo bird, at least around my area. University accelerated programs are generally second bachelor's degree programs- do you have a BA/BS?

I do not have a bachelors otherwise I would do an accelerated BSN program. At this time im leaning toward doing my RN at a CC then getting my BSN online while working.

Sounds like a good strategy. If you have to work a lot of hours while in school try to cut yourself a break by taking as many of the pre-reqs and non-clinical courses as you can first to lighten your load. You also may want to check the curricula of the RN to BSN programs you think you'd like and do the same thing. (My program would accept courses from community colleges- which had much cheaper tuition- but after you matriculated you had to take any remaining core courses needed there and it was certainly more expensive.)

A lot of the techs in the ED I work at transitioned from emt-p through the excelsior online program
