Comment:
Yes there is a Paramedic program to. I was thinking of taking this before going into the Paramedic. Didn`t feel I learned enough stuff in the 4 month Emt-B class.
Comment:
Well if you want to be a paramedic they will want you to have finished a paramedic program and if you want to be an RN the hospital will want you to have gone to nursing school. I would hate for you to get this degree and have it be wasted. Most healthcare jobs seem to have a specific progam and this seems kinda broad. It will get you a tech job in several areas but you could just concentrate on one of those areas and be a tech in much less than two years. Just my thoughts!
Comment:
I agree- I wouldn't bother with this degree if you are considering being a medic/RN. You're going to duplicate a lot of classes and spend time in school that you might not need to.
Comment:
Thanks everone for the Feedback. I`m getting the same replies on a EMT/Medic forum I frequent
Comment:
