I think there are great medical museums out there for this educational purpose.

Russian analog of Paramedic is called Feldscher, wich is like a field doctor, they can diagnose, treat and prescribe medicine. So i thought paramedic can do all of that too. I didn't even realize just how different the whole system is here. They have RNs and feldshers on russian ambulances, by...

did they say a cause of death?

:rolleyes:Thank you very much. If i was, lets say, just graduating high school here and just moved here form Russia, i would definetly do EMS programm without even thinking. But im not 17 anymore, so i have to, i quess, stick, with what i know and know i can do, wich is nursing, have to think...

^_^Thanks for advice. I'd probably still get LPN first, just because a class is in my town, 5 minut drive from home, wich is more convenient. And then do the bridge class in Atlanta. :ph34r:Can i still snoop on this site, thought? i think EMS system is fascinating.

:POh, i get it now. So, by any chance, RN can work in ER, right. Is it quite as exitiong as being a Paramedic?

Yes, you're right. But isn't EMS considered a medical carreer. I was always under impression that Nurse<Paramedic<Doctor. :rolleyes: So you think full time RN with a EMT job on a side sound like a better prognosis in terms of income, professional recognition?

Well, Grady hires RNs and Paramedics. But there are quite a few nursing homes in my area that hire LPNs and CNAs. CNA is 2 quarter, because they strech it out to part time, 2 days a week for AHA 101, AHS 109 first quarter and CNA100 next quarter 3 days a week. LPN is 15 month, which should be...

By the way, thats why i figured to do EMS. I thought i can use my 2 year college credit to get into Paramedic programm. No luck there. The response was:"we're special, we're called academy, we wear uniform and we DON"T take other college credits". 2 years down the drain for me...It is hard...

Thanks!:):rolleyes:

Allmost all guys i knew form medical college in Russia, became paramedics, after graduating (and it was 3 year full time, 9am to 3 pm, plus 1year of clinicals at the hospital, diploma work done). I was wondering what guys would want in nursing college, with mostly girls, but i found out, they...

B)They have RN to Paramedic bridge!? I thought you have to take EMT, then work as EMT for a year before you can apply for Paramedic. I've been in RN medical college for 2 years in Russia, had 1 year left left to graduation, when i moved here 4 years ago. Few people from my college became russian...

:)It might sound irrational, but i only wanna do LPN, so i can have job with a pay decent enought to keep me throught EMT-I, Paramedic programms. Bad economy dictates its own change of plans.

EMT class is 9 month, because it is evening 2 day a week class, thats why i said i can get LPN at the same time. They don't have prerequizites for EMT class, when i told them i wanna take A&P and medterminology FOR EMT class, they just look at me all weird. But there is LPN course, which i can...

Whould it be physically possible to do LPN class and EMT class at the same time? If all goes right, ill have my CNA by the end of summer, in autumn take general classes for LPN and in winter start part time EMT class, while working full time on LPN degree. Is that a realistic plan? :) It just...
