Context: I just finished my 1st year for my Associates in Nursing.

I’ve been running with my local EMS company as an EMT since August (2 weeks before my program started). I honestly love EMS, I love working on the ambulance, the variety in calls, and going on scene.

Once I graduate, I’m hoping to become an ICU or ED nurse. I thrive in high stress, constantly moving, busy environments.

Nursing is what I want to do, it is what I’m meant to do. However, I’m not sure if I’ll ever truly walk away from EMS.

From your experiences, how long do providers wait until they cross train to PHRN?

(I’ll also cross post into a nursing subreddit :). )
