[QUOTE="Star*, post: 191091, member: 4964"] Couldn't you do BOTH? Finish RN school AND work as a paramedic in the mean time? My thought is this - and belive me I would love to follow my dreams but I'm uber practical and just not a lot of fun. If you finished Nursing school P/T and did EMT or Paramedic P/T you'd be able to see if EMT was right for you. If NOT - then you would have been going right along, get a degree and get a job making lots of money - and I will say that not ALL nurses jobs are boring. Have you considered - flight trauma nursing OR ER trauma nursing? Just my thoughts - I'm all for going for the dreams - but if EMT turned out NOT to be your thing what do you have to fall back on then? ANd if it DID turn out to be your thing - YOU would be a FULL FLEDGED RN with EMT training......Probably more pay. Hard decision - [/QUOTE]
