ERdude is a registered nurse who has been hired at a Level 1 Trauma ED; I don't think spending 2 additional semesters of schooling to become a paramedic is necessary to add to his resume. He has 5 weeks before he starts the position, I am guessing he wants something productive to do in the interim to better prepare for the job. I would review physical assessments, IV starts, and EKG stuff. Best of luck to you!
