Hi everyone. I am a 31 yr old female with a prior BA, I just finished my first year of a BSN program in Denver, will graduate in Fall of '08, and am looking at joining the military. I am trying to find out as much info as I can regarding the Navy Reserves and the Navy and it's nursing program. I had thought of doing Reserves while in school and then going active duty once I graduate. Can I do that? And is it advisable for me to go that route? I spoke with 1 recruiter who was not very knowledgeable, couldn't answer my questions and never got back to me with other resources. I am trying to find out if my prior degree would allow me to go in as an officer, approximately how long my committment would be, how I would go about starting the process and basically every other issue you can think of...:>) Again, the recruiter I talked to was not helpful in any way, had no specifics for me and did not give me any other resources. I have been on the military.com site and the NNCA.org site as well and am waiting on some responses from those sites but was hoping that someone here may be able to give me some suggestions. Thanks, in advance, for all your help.
