National Registry Paramedic (Conclusion of 4th year)
EMS Program Overview (continued)
Fire and Emergency Medical Services Education Department
Thomas Nelson Fire and EMS Education – The Gold StandardClinical and Field Affiliate Program Overview
and Preceptor Professional Development Program
Thomas Nelson Community College offers EMS
courses in the Fall and Spring semesters.
Thomas Nelson Community College offers EMS
courses in the Summer semester based upon student
need, student and/or industry demand.
Thomas Nelson Community College may enter into
contractual agreements to provide EMS courses to
community constituents throughout the year, which may
not coincide with traditional semester course offerings.
EMS Program Overview (continued)
Fire and Emergency Medical Services Education Department
Thomas Nelson Fire and EMS Education – The Gold StandardClinical and Field Affiliate Program Overview
and Preceptor Professional Development Program
Currently certified EMTs and AEMTs are accepted
into the paramedic program at the beginning of the
cohorts 1st semester.
AEMT certified students have fewer 1st semester
courses to complete that EMT students.
NO PARAMEDIC STUDENT WILL BE ALLOWED TO
SCHEDULE CLINICAL OR FIELD IN THEIR FIRST
SEMESTER OF THE PARAMEDIC PROGRAM.
Our Students
Fire and Emergency Medical Services Education Department
Thomas Nelson Fire and EMS Education – The Gold StandardClinical and Field Affiliate Program Overview
and Preceptor Professional Development Program
While students have the opportunity to test for
certification at various points in the program, not all
students take the opportunity to do so. Some
students have entered the paramedic program as
EMTs and will progress through the two-year
program without testing for other levels of
certification.
Our Students (continued)
Fire and Emergency Medical Services Education Department
Thomas Nelson Fire and EMS Education – The Gold StandardClinical and Field Affiliate Program Overview
and Preceptor Professional Development Program
Some students come into the program with a lot of
experience,
STRONG leadership skills,
GOOD and BAD habits.
Some students JUST obtained certification at the
preceding level,
lack CONFIDENCE,
and meet MINIMAL COMPETENCY levels.
Our Students (continued)
Fire and Emergency Medical Services Education Department
Thomas Nelson Fire and EMS Education – The Gold StandardClinical and Field Affiliate Program Overview
and Preceptor Professional Development Program
As students progress through the various
components of the ALS program, they will also gain
skills proficiency in a lab setting before being
“released” to perform skills in an internship setting.
Knowledge and skills are built upon during each
lecture and lab section and will directly correlate to
the available department internship opportunities.
i.e. Emergency Department (ED), ED to Intensive Care
Unit (ICU), ICU to Pediatrics (PEDS), PEDS to
Operating Room, etc.
