how can I become a nurse/paramedic?

[cyberfraggle]

I want to change jobs, I'm only 23 I've been to college and uni but can never decide what I want to do. I've had my current job for 2 years but it's definately not for me. I've always been interested in science and I'm doing AS-level biology at night school and i'm really enjoying it. One job I have always wanted to do is a nurse/paramedic as I enjoy working with people and helping people. But have no idea about how to get in to this,What qualifications do I need, as none of the ones i currently hold are relevant? do I need a degree? because I can't really afford to go back to uni full time, and my current job couldn't be any more unrelated. Does anyone know what my options are for getting in to this career? I'm also signing up with St.Johns ambulance this year, would this help me? I'd be very grateful for any info. Thanks
