Hope32, did you talk to a girl named -----? I think I was standing there when you called! I actually got offered an instructor position with them today. It is more money because we teach more. We actually put on an extra day for new grads.

Ok, so I was at AZ Academy of Emergency Services today, I asked about an ACLS class for new grad nurses and they said that one of the owners actually puts on an ACLS class specifically for new grads. I guess his wife is a nurse, and she convinced him to do it. Hope32, get your buddies together and get a class going there. It would be just you guys, no medics or RTs, or docs, just you new grads.

Youre welcome. They are great guys over there, they really care about the field. I use them for all my recerts and am always happy with everything.

My advice would be to get all the people you can find who want to, then call them and say we got this many nurses who want initial ACLS cert. The classes they have are very reasonable as it is, so I would imagine if you came to then with students, they will be more than fair. Good luck and let us know what you find out.

They said they can put on an ACLS class if you can get a few more people to come. They dont have any initial certification courses scheduled, but if a few other of the students in your BSN program want to take it, they will put one on for you guys. Just give them a call.

http://www.azemergency.com/ These guys have tons of classes, and they are super affordable. They are located in Mesa.

Where are you located? There are lots around, and it will help you resume. Just another thing to make you stand out.

Subee, I hear what your are saying. I work a rotating schedule, two 24s a week. I have plenty of time, but a traditional program wont let me work. I am just trying to see if there would be a program that would accommodate a working paramedic. If it comes down to it, I can suck it up and go part time at work. Thanks for the insight.

Thank you for the reply. Yeah, googled plenty. Found ccbc, but the schedule wont work out with my full time medic schedule. Anybody who has done a medic to rn?

Hi, I'm a paramedic in Maryland, and I am after my rn. I'm having trouble finding a medic to rn program. Any suggestions? If not, or in addition, I would be ok with a full aas program, if part of it could be self-paced, or online. I would like to avoid spending two years in school if possible. Thank you.
