Up to 30 days to gamble - would YOU do it?

[Paramedic12]

I’m also a NREMT-paramedic with several state paramedic licenses and when I called TESU to gain credit for my certification they stated that I needed to be NJ credentialed to get credit. Most paramedic programs are two years and 60 credits so it’s absurd that TESU doesn’t offer more for paramedics. Another odd aspect is that TESU will award credits for NREMT-basics but not paramedics. I ended up just taking a bunch of shmoops which only took a couple months to get 90 credits. At the end of the day, it only adds a couple extra weeks of shmoop or SL courses so I wouldn’t worry about it in the long run.

If you want to maximize your paramedic certification and gain a BS in emergency medicine then I’d check out the university of New Mexico which will give you around 50 credits for your paramedic certification. It will probably take a lot longer to finish that degree than it would be to just take a ton of shmoops or SL’s for TESU. My recommendation would be to sign up for the capstone as soon as possible and knock out a bunch of ACE credits fast. Like someone previously mentioned, if tesu even gives you credits they’ll likely only count as free elective anyway. You could knock out those free electives very cheap and easy with other options.
