So lets say....(Paramedic EC questions)

[rescuegroomer]

I become a paramedic and do the EC route. To apply..do I have to be working as a paramedic? Or can I just hold the License? Also if I get half way through and then decide I want to go to school instead...do any of these EC courses transfer anywhere...or do I have to just see EC through? I have a REALLY bad gpa which makes it like 5 years before I can even be accepted considering all the work I have to do to get it back up. SO I thought I would do the Paramedic route, which would be easier for me than LPN (I run a dog grooming business with tons of clients. I can't just quit for LPN school. I have to pay my way) The Paramedic courses are like regular college course as in you don't have to attend school every day for a solid year. What do you think? Oh...and does EC require a certain GPA.

I have to agree with chip193.

The Excelsior program is based upon the clinical experience and knowledge you already have as a paramedic, LPN/LVN. You might be doing a disservice to yourself by only being a "paper" medic.
