Re: EMT-P to RN programs

John,

I congratulate you and wish you the best of luck in your
endeavor to develop a EMT-P to RN program.  It's a logical 
transition for those that want to move in that direction.

Agreed that the Medic background will be of a great asset
to ER's and ICU's.  I was a medic in the Air Force (EMT-I) 
and flew air rescue.  I got my BSN, started in working in
an ICU.  I just got hired by Inova AirCare in Fairfax VA.

I know of many Medics that would make fine RN's.  I guess
the only roadblock would be nursing itself--there tends to
be a great deal of resistance to creative thinking and unique
programs.

Best of luck and thank you for your efforts.

Mark Vojtko, RN, BSN, CCRN
