hey.. i thought about this for a long time as well.. paramedic vs nursing? i finally came to the conclusion that nursing would be the best route for me. it pays better, nurses are needed everywhere, and they also have special nursing grants available. i know a lot of emt's that have decided to take the nursing route instead of being a medic.. and i also know a lot medics that decided to go for nursing, nursing school may take a little longer to finish but i think it would be a better choice. Ultimately, the decision is yours.. i wish you luck with whatever you decide to do.
