I always prefered black "sneakers" or skid resilient "work-shoes" from Wal-Mart which are pretty much ..well... black sneakers.
But some employers insist on the steel toes then you have to switch to those boots, and the bad thing with
them are that they rarely have them in female sizes. Another thing is that the calf muscaluture on females
is a bit different and that it gets really difficult to find something that is comfortable beyond ankles. Now some
on the pricier side have female issued (and strangely they're more expensive than the male issues), and I
finally stuck with Magnum women's. Bates side zippers are very functional, but again, I had only a male
issue one and I could not 'break' them in a year. So I'm getting rid of them. (Check out the sale section in the forum
Challenging NCLEX
in General EMS Discussion

Unfortunatly, I inquired that one, too, and you can't even challenge CNA (certified nurse assistance) which
is a prerequisite for nursing school at least here in my state (Utah). Untill recently, even EMT-B's could get
a distance LPN license, but that window has been shut down a few years ago as far as I know.
Dustdevil: that is some awesome cruel stuff you're posting. there is nothing wrong with anybody having some
ambitions and hopes, a lot of paramedics are excellent and would make excellent nurses (and no, I'm not one!)
I know of at least one EMT-B (not even national registry) who's become a great nurse via the previous mentioned
scenario (distance learning).
