got my BSN degree outside the US and army wont accept me

Hi i'm a U.S. citizen educated outside of the country but i do have a california RN license. Would i not be qualified to join the army? thank you

Could the issue be that the foreign school is not accredited in the US ?

Hmmm we have a same problem. I think the problem is we are foreign graduate..

I agree with hopeful: Very possible that your education or school does not have United States accreditation.
Have you had your university or college transcripts translated into English by a reputable translation service? That way which ever government service you are thinking of applying to can at least start the process rolling by seeing if your degree "matches up" with a degree of the same type here in the States.

hmm but if she/he has a RN license, its mean his/her school accredited in US right? One of my friend told me in order to match the subject units in the US, One must take a master's degree there.

The site states specifically US accredited school, no clue how you could work around that. RN state license is not the same as US accreditation. Look on any US nursing school website they will list their accreditation. Sorry

too sad, I really wanted to join the military

Unless things have changed -- to be commissioned in the US military you need to be a citizen.

I am afraid to tell you guys but you SHOULD have nursing degree from accredited US nursing schools. Here is a tricky part. Nursing school should have both state and national accreditations. Some people think their school have both accreditations cause they were able to take NCLEX exam. However state nurisng boards do not check national accreditation. I have seen several people couldn't even apply since their school lack national accreditaiton. It has nothing to do with health care recruiters' capability to pull you in.

Don't give up. If you really want to join the military, you still can. Get your MSN from accredited US nursing schools. Then you are totally qualified.
