Mike, Try looking at Creighton again, their next Paramedic Certification Course for Healthcare Providers is being offered Oct 11-22, 2010. You can sit for the national registry once the program is completed. You have to have your EMT-B (as well as your RN) for this 2 week program but they also offer a 1 week RN to EMT program. (I am taking the Sept 12-18th one) I don't know what state you are in but in the state of Florida once an RN has their EMT-B they can challenge the Paramedic certification exam without attending Paramedic school. Hope this helps. CaraMiaRN
