No, the Emergency Medical Services Nursing courses are not the same as an Emergency Medical Technician program. Though both involve emergency care, EMS Nursing is focused on advanced nursing skills within a hospital setting, while the EMT provides basic medical care in pre-hospital settings such as ambulances.
This means that the Emergency Medical Technician programme has a less extensive scope of practice compared to an Emergency Medical Services Nursing course.
