Hey, I am applying to UBC nursing for sept 2012 (accelerated program). I am currently a forest firefighter and am just completing up alot of fire/rescue/EMR etc courses to be able to apply for a city department (dream would be Vancouver). I would like to do both (ff full time with the 4 on 4 off) and work part time as a ICU/ER/CCU nurse. Anybody know anybody that is/has done this? just trying to see if there is a way of this working. I know there are tons of nurses where its their primary career and they volunteer with their local fire hall but I would be keen on getting a job in the Vancouver area on one of the fire departments and work part time on my days off. I think both careers would complement each other quite well and scheduling would be only moderately difficult as you know both scheds so far in advance. Thanks for your advice guys.
