Thanks everyone. I passed along the info about CNA - he might do that this summer and then do EMT at 18.
I'm more curious if anyone has used one of the Big 3 for any part of their nursing education....

I did not use any one of the Big 3 for my nursing education; though, I did use DSST, CLEP, and Straighterline to fulfill requirements at a traditional school.
My advice to a 16 year old wanting to be a nurse would be to find the nursing school that you would like to attend. Then look at all the non-nursing courses and requirements and start working on those. These requirements and how they are accepted varies from school to school. DSST, CLEP, AP, Straighterline, or dual enrollment could all be options. Create a plan that is compatible with the school's guidelines. If I had it all to do over again I would have applied for an NROTC nursing scholarship. Tuition paid, stipend, status as a midshipman and eventual commission as a naval officer.
CLEP: Principles of Management (70), Info Systems and Computer Applications (61), Principles of Marketing (66), American Government (52), Analyzing and Interpreting Literature (56), Introductory Sociology (69), Introductory Psychology (69), Introduction to Educational Psychology (68), Human Growth and Development (68) DSST: Drug and Alcohol Abuse (60), Here's to Your Health (455), Introduction to World Religions (469), Management Information Systems (415), Ethics in America (443), Criminal Justice (434) ECE: Abnormal Psychology (B), Organizational Behavior (B) STRAIGHTERLINE: Business Statistics, Medical Terminology
