Overview

What could help you turn your emergency expertise into a broader, more versatile nursing career? The paramedic to RN program gives you a direct, streamlined path to move from paramedic to registered nurse through focused coursework (located at our Beavercreek location.) You’ll build on the fast thinking and clinical precision you already use in the field as you expand your knowledge of adult, maternal-newborn, behavioral health and family nursing, and gain the advanced competencies required for RN jobs. With articulated credit that recognizes your paramedic training, you’ll advance faster toward RN practice while preparing for the NCLEX-RN exam.

Note: Space is limited in this program. In addition to applying to Clark State, students must also apply to this program. Please meet with your advisor to ensure all requirements are met.
