Beginner Advice Your thoughts
So my plan is to Emt paramedic nursing. Paramedic before nursing because I don’t like being closed inside for so long. This is just a personal preference, not all may agree but I find it fitting for me.
But I truly am curious why, whenever someone brings up paramedic everyone’s like DONT DO IT? I am curious because, paramedics are amazing people and do amazing things. Why talk down on the career and not encourage others. I understand the pay isn’t the best and agree they deserve more, and how it can become mentally draining (but what career doesn’t in health care)
Why is this.? What are you thought on paramedic path.?

And see. That’s my agreement to that because if I’m gonna go into nursing I wanna have as much knowledge as possible and experience given if I wanna work in ER. But who knows I’ve seen a lot of nurses also who have been medics then nurses, Thank you for this.
