Re: Can new RN grad/No BSN enlist in the military?
FYI Folks: Keep in mind that some recruiters will tell you ANYTHING to make their numbers; lots of half-truths and empty promises...
Be very careful to just walk into your local recruiting station. Regular recruiters have a quota to meet, so they don't care that you may have a "Masters Degree or PhD in Physiology", if they need a cook and they persuade you to sign up to become a cook-Done deal! You now belong to Uncle Sam as a cook for the next 8 years.
Yes, there are programs in place to transition someone from the enlisted side to the commissioned side, but the needs of the Army comes first. Once you enlist, you lose your bargaining powers. So do your research thoroughly.
If you have any type of college degree in the Health Sciences, you want to see an AMEDD recruiter first:
