Paramedic to Nurse

The Paramedic-to-Nurse Program allows experienced paramedics to transition into nursing through specialized bridge courses. To be eligible for admission, students must have two years of paramedic experience. They must also complete nursing prerequisites. After completing the bridge program and general education courses with a C or better, students can advance. They may then enter the Associate Degree program. They will then qualify for a Registered Nursing License in North Dakota.
