I will be graduating from Nursing School as an A.D.N. (RN) soon. I have been a CNA before. I am currently a Paramedic with 3 years experience. The gap between an RN and Paramedic is quite small, but there are a lot of misconceptions in Nursing about what we do as far as assessment, skills, and medications; which actually parallels a P.A. more than an RN.

Anyway, my question is: What kind and how much experience do most travel agencies look for? I realize it's mainly up to the customer hospital, but do new grads get assignments too?
Would a hospital or agency ever consider Paramedic experience to count for ER assignments that require "nursing experience"?

Thanks.
