A place for Paramedics who are RN's or anyone interested in the merging of the two worlds.
As a newly-licenced paramedic, I also agree that the current system is flawed. My clinicals alternated between extremely good and a few situations where I was the most-senior person on the truck...as a student. The problem isn't limited to the civ...
