Nursing is focused on offering comprehensive, ongoing patient care in a medical healthcare setting. Meanwhile, EMS (Emergency Medical Services) is focused on immediate life-saving interference in emergencies in a prehospital setting. Nurses generally have a larger scope of practice and more in-depth patient management compared to Emergency Medical Service providers such as paramedics.

EMS is a good option for those who think they are a good fit for emergencies on-site and performing life-saving situations, and Nursing is an apt choice for those who want a wider scope of practice and longer interactions.

To get a job in the Emergency Medical Services, firstly, you must fulfil the educational eligibility criteria, which can vary depending on the course level and college you choose. For example, for a UG Diploma in Emergency Medical Services Nursing, you need to pass Class 12 with PCB subjects from a recognised board.
After this, you need to get relevant experience from a medical facility in the emergency department. Depending on the employer, you may also need to obtain a certification in a specialised area.

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.
