Some states have a RN to Paramedic program. If you are lucky enough to be in a state that does, then enroll, pay the tuition and take the course. Otherwise, your state has an EMS system website, visit it and find a local program to enroll in. Remember, paramedic education is very different from RN education. Good luck!
