    Lee, saw your post on college educated FF, and wondered did someone suggest to you that you could get experience in EMS to bolster your nursing studies, or did you decide that by yourself? We are encouraging local high school students to join and get free training and hands on, with similar suggestions. Good luck in your studies!
