Not Work Safe .

It's why I never went to nursing school. I was not willing to be spoon fed shit that I did as an 18 year new line doc compared to now.

"I went for two reasons: pay and job choice. For those reasons I don't regret it....Nursing school is a series of hoops in which to jump through, and for 18 year olds with zero experience they need to be spoon-fed. That's still the case in 90% of schools, but now there are some that will factor military or EMS experience and customize the experience... There are a lot of things I miss about EMS, I miss doing a lot of skills that I could not do as a nurse (Just like I miss a lot of the skills I did in the military that I could not do as a civilian medic). I miss having a partner, I miss being on a bus for 12 hours and that camaraderie , I miss being on the street (sometimes)."

Yes, I am in an advanced (slightly) program for LPNs, Paras, and military medics. I'm years removed from any real medical experience but feel good for being given the opportunity.

Yes. I am up to the challenge. My grades need to come up a little to be competitive though. No excuses.

Nowadays, there are plenty of programs that let you bypass all that. My program certainly did, there are lots of paramedic to RN ones that do the same.

I get it though, my ego initially kept me from going the route I did. I didn’t want to be an ass wiper after all I’d done. But for me Critical care was always a stepping stone. I had a goal and that was a requirement....

I plan on going for an ED or ICU job at graduation (nights of course). It's an ADN program now, not because couldn't get into a accelerated BSN but because this will cost me about 5-6k, then start working, then get the BSN finished around 10k or free. Accelerated BSN programs near me are 55-60K, and I'm all out of GI Bill and Voc Rehab.
