My daughter enlisted in the Army, served six years, then used the GI Bill to first get an AAS degree in EMS Technology. She got her Paramedic license and worked at a fire station for a couple years before going back to school and again, with the GI Bill and other state grants, getting her BSN.

She’s now a Level I Trauma Nurse working in the ER. She enjoys working in that branch of medicine very much.

That's the way to do it. Nursing and medics will always be in demand, and she has a career path (especially as nurses get more responsibility and training in the ongoing effort to contain costs) if she studies for her MSN degree on the side.
