I am a medic in the army, and I have heard of these kind of programs in other states, but I cannot find any in Illinois. I have found some online ones, but I am not sure if I would like doing somehting like that or if it would count for anything. But I am currently an NREMT-B and a CNA, and I would like to become an RN, and I was interested in the prospect of becoming a PM and working for a while then bridging over to RN. If anyone has any comments, or insight that would be greatly appreciated thank you!

...or you could just enroll in nursing school right when you get out. As long as you have the academics to go with it, you've got certification and experience that any sane admissions committee would give serious consideration to.

I am an EMT-B with some experience. To become a medic I am doing 2 year RN, then heading over to creighton in NE for their 2 week EMT+RN to Paramedic Bridge. I love EMS, but need the income of a nurse. Nursing is great, but I've still gotta have field calls every once in a while.
