WorkingOnIt

Thx for the advise guys....I will take it all into consideration, not sure yet what to do, or how to do it, but I will get my RN one way or another =]

Down here there are only 2 ppl on the trucks, 1 Paramedic and 1 Basic. During a cardiac arrest, the medic needs all the help he can get, for intubation, IV's, Meds, ect. I made sure to learn everything, I wouldnt just want to stand there watching as preciouse time went by letting him/her trying to get everything done. IF I just go by Basic protocols there really isnt much to do except for BVM, and chest compressions

Yeah I need to be able to do it online If there is absolutely no way for me to get into an online RN program with my EMT-Basic, I am willing to finish off either the Paramedic or go LVN, but are there any of those offerred online at your own pace? Thanks

]Is this possible? I am an EMT-Basic with close to 100 College hours, obtained at my local university, which includes all the pre-reqs for ADN even BSN, all I need for both are the core classes. I have been an EMT for 4 years now. I am proficient with intubations, IV's, reading heart rhythms, meds, assessment and treatment of patients at the paramedic level, pretty much all of the paramedic end. ]Is there any way for me to start any online RN program? I don't want to spend another 9 months in a classroom for the paramedic. Are there any online paramedic or LVN classes I can take? ] ]I am from Texas. Is being a paramedic required by the state, by the school, or is it just a preference and not a requirement? ]Thanks for reading this post any useful information would be greatly appreciated. ]P.S. ]I am married with 4 children currently working approximately 100-120 hours pre week just to make the bills. Sad I know. I need to get my RN ASAP so I can spend time with my family and be able to comfortably pay all my bills. I can't afford to sit in a classroom!!!
