Thank you for the advice. I actually found out my friend knows a firefighter, so im going to talk her this week. I heard it that i may be able to work as a part-time firefigher while in school right now, the training is supposed to be accelerated, so I could do that this summer and they are supposed to work around school schedules. Hopefully, I will get some good news. If you know of anyone who is a firefighter and nurse let me know & I will give you my email address. Thank you again

I am currently a nursing (LPN) student. I've always wanted to be a firefighter and even took fire science courses last semester, untill I found out i was accepted into nursing school. Ive heard that you can join the fire department while still working as a nurse. I have been working out fo r the CPAT, I'll have my certificate in nursing in 18 months. Im wondering if I should apply to a deptarment when they have an opening, after i get my certificate, since my LP to RN degree will be online, other than my clinicals. (since they only hire about once a year). Im not sure if the 24 hours on and 48 off will be to hard to finish my online nursing degree. I just wanted to see if anyone knows anything about this or can direct me to where I can find out some more information. thank you. p.s. also I like to know about flight nursing; how you get into that specialty, what are the requirments, what kind of schedule do you have, ect.
