when im on the road the only time i dont call ahead was because i was down the block. i work in nyc and sometimes the worse jobs happen steps away from the hospital. the times it has happened im always apologetic and help out as much as i can. beibg on the other side as a nurse ive gotten much respect in my ER..

thanks for the responces. i probably will wait another 6 months just as a buffer. heres another question. does the CEN focus on the more statiscally higher emergencies, ie., MI, Cardiac Arrest, arrythmias vs the one in a million, eye fell out of a socket dilema? what i got from my paramedic original was that we as medics were geared more for the cardiacs and respiratory emergencies over all others. with advances in medicine the way they are i wanna be well prepared

To all those in the community that were once or still are paramedics and have taken the CEN. I'm a new grad RN in the ED but have been a paramedic for 3 years and an EMT for 4 years before that. I want to take the CEN in a few months. How helpful was the ems background in answering questions on the exam. I have taken some practice questions from ENA and have consistently gotten above average score. What are ur opinions on what I should do? Thanks in advance for the input

hello all, I am interested in continuing my education by going the NP route right after achieving my BSN. I've been a paramedic for the last 6 years in NYC and feel that RN isnt going to satisfy my inner drive. what do you guys think? is it possible or should i work as an RN for x amount of years before i apply? thanks in advance
