Any Foreign Graduates here entering the military?

[ranster914]

Hello all! I've been an avid reader in this forum for a long time but it's only now that I am posting a thread. I'm a graduate from a nursing school in the Philippines, and I'm thinking to join the Air Force. I called the local recruiter and found out that schools there aren't considered qualified so I need to complete a Master's degree at a US school in order to have a qualified degree. Is there anyone with the same case as mine? Please pass on any information about foreign graduates such as myself regarding qualified degrees for entering the Nursing Corps. TIA.

I have not heard that there was a problem with it. It depends on the particular service. They use various means to establish your educational achievements, including the same ones in the civilian world, ie CES/CGFNS. (at their expense, not yours in the case of the military)Each branch may of course have their own policy/procedure. I have asked around, (though not to a medical recruiter) and so far, it sounds OK. Just call and ask I guess if you are curious. (I have not just because I am still "information gathering" at a lower level.
