PHRN course near Pittsburgh/ Western Pa?

Hey There!

Does anyone know of a PHRN course/class offered near Pittsburgh or Western PA? I would like to become a PHRN and although I understand you can challenge the Paramedic test and plan to do so I would feel more comfortable taking some sort of prep-class first. I purchased the Paramedic books and such but I'm getting bogged down with studying on my own and it would also help to know what to focus on for the test. I think I would fair better with having some sort of prep class but surching the board and the Net I found only one mention of a PHRN course near Phillidelphia. Thats just a bit to far of a commute for me and I'm looking for something closer!! I'd even consider taking the time off work and traveling if I found a "boot camp" program but the one I did read about in Philly was a 6 month long program If anyone can help or offer some suggestions I would greatly appreciate it!!! Thanks!!

Check your PM.

Could you PM me the information as well? I've recently become interested in the PHRN certification.

Try the Center for Emergency Medicine, part of UPMC. They have a 48 hour Paramedic Refresher Class. Don't know if the class is required to challenge the paramedic exam or not. I think their website is: www.centerem.org I don't know if there are any other places to take the class.

I would contact EMSI, the regional EMS Council for the Pittsburgh area. 412-242-7322

They should be able to give you some information on courses in this area. They are the ones that deal with your application for PHRN. Good luck!
