Nursing student wanting to pursue paramedic after school

not sure if this is the best place to ask this but i’m a BSN student who graduates in 11 months and i’m interested in getting my paramedic certification afterwards. I live in Indiana. I’ve always been interested in working on an ambulance out in the field and it’s something I think about often. Is it possible to do both/work both jobs? thanks in advance :)

I’d suggest looking at ways you can be involved with EMS as an RN (e.g. flight nurse, critical care transport) before you go right back to school for another two years to make even less money
