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!

They would have to go back to college to obtain their RN license but it would probably be easier for them to do many of the skills. In some states an RN can take the Paramedic test and become a Paramedic without officially taking the schooling but there is no such parameter for a Paramedic to do the same.

There are three options to become a registered nurse as follows.

  • diploma program (typically three years, not recommended for individuals who do not have an already existing degree)
  • associate degree (two years as a full-time student once the student starts the professional phase of the program)
  • bachelor's degree (BSN) (four years as a full-time student)

If you are an LVN you must attend 2 years of nursing school. There you obtain your Associate's Degree. Another way is the RN Diploma. It took about 18 month to achieve.
