Hello. I am going to college and have just finished my general education classes. I cannot decide whether to be a firefighter or a RN. Any suggestions? I really like the emergency care aspect of both worlds. I need some advice please. I have tried to wiegh out the pros and cons of both, but I cannot decide. HELP! I currently have a CNA certification, and I have worked in long term care. Currently, I have my EMT-B and I am a police/fire dispatcher.
