RN22

I have always wanted to do EMS. My schedule never allowed for time to take the class. Where I live, EMS calls flight for any major trauma, prolonged extraction, etc. therefore the paramedics and EMTs pack and provide care until the flight crew gets there. They intubate, decompress, start lines etc. I guess I like the adrenaline and the critical patients that bypass the ER. I want to be out in the community providing care especially when time is a factor. Maybe one day I might fly but, not in the next few years. I was just wondering and wanting to hear stories about how the transition was for other nurses.

Hello, I am currently an ER nurse in the Midwest wanting to go to paramedic school. I found a translation program for RN to medic in Nebraska. First I’m finishing my emt-b before so I can have field experience. I was wondering if anybody else has done the same thing?RN to emt to paramedic?? Experience, job satisfaction, how natural did it come (being a medic), schooling?
