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’m not sure if they still do, but Creighton at least used to do a week long RN-medic bridge

Harrisburg area community college has one. 

It is longer, and really assumed you’re an er/icu nurse.

I’ve known a couple people who have done it.  It is a good course.  Obviously anyone who attends nerds a longer orientation time.

But a week?  Yea. No a chance.
