Should i get my paramedic so that i can go straight into er when u get my RN?Rating: (votes: 0) My thought is that an RN/eMT-B with 2 years of tech experience is going to be better off than a new RN/EMT-P with no experience. If you can get in as a tech in an ER you will be an internal hire and already know people (like the hiring managers). Plus, nursing school is super busy. I wouldn't recommend adding a medic program on top of that. Comment: Hmm - 2 different professions with different scopes of practice. EMTs are first responders - their scope of practice does not include acute care (inpatient). In many states, including mine, EMTs are considered "unlicensed personnel" who must work under direct supervision of a RN or MD if they are employed in an ED. There is overlap in the technical skills, but other than that, I don't see any advantage.
