Any Medical/Fire Pro's Here?

[trashcan]

I've noticed that there's alot of public service types on this board. So I'm looking for inside opinions/information. I'm thinking about pursuing training in nursing, with intentions of doing emergency response and search and rescue. 'Cept now I see that nursing is like the second most pursued collegiate degree and I already have a degree in a flooded industry (computer programming).

Anyone with first hand experience or insight they want to share?
