Paramedic to RN Bridge Program, Associate of Science
The Paramedic to ADN Program offers a unique opportunity for a qualified licensed paramedic who has successfully completed the General Education and prerequisite courses. A paramedic admitted to this program will begin in spring semester along with the regular blended student cohort. Then, a summer Paramedic to RN Transition course (NURN 219) consolidates some second and third semester material, providing a savings of time and cost. A grade of C or higher must be earned in this transition course to be counted toward the program requirements and to be able to continue in the Associate Degree Nursing - Registered Nursing Program.
