SCTU Transport Companies in AZ/Can a RN Challenge the Medic Test in AZ

I am thinking about relocating to Arizona after I graduate nursing school, I currently live in NJ and I work for a EMS Transport Service now. I know the experience requirements and everything but I am just curious what SCTU Transport Companies are out there, just looking for something per-diem. I will want to run 911 full time, which leads to my next question.

In New Jersey an RN can challenge the paramedic exam. I am currently an EMT and this is what I want to do, run 911 full time. Just curious does Arizona allow you to challenge the Paramedic test or offer a bridge program of some sort? If not, I will get it through NJ and apply through reciprocity through AZEMS.

Thank-you all for reading and I hope your New Year is a blessed one, full of happiness, joy, and health.

Yes I did actually find an answer LG1137. A link from the Arizona Board of Nursing is provided below. https://www.azbn.gov/Documents/advisory_opinion/AO%20Pre%20Hospital%20Nursing.pdf

I apologize for the delay, work has been crazy as usual.
