Does anyone here know if a BSN awarded from an online RN-BSN program like Chamberlain or WGU is acceptable to the Air Force or Navy? I can't find the answer anywhere so far after looking for weeks. I called and e-mailed the local AF health care recruiters and still do not have any more information. The reason I am concerned is that I read this in a thread from 2010 and I haven't been able to find anything else about it anywhere:
"In preparing myself for entry into Army nursing, I found out that they do not accept ANY online RN-BSN programs (neither do Air Force or Navy)- only programs that have onsite clinicals with clinical instructors affiliated (paid by) the school."
I was planning to do an online RN-BSN program asap while working full-time so that I could apply to the AF and/or Navy. Now I am concerned that it might prevent me from qualifying and that is the whole point of my trying to attain my BSN sooner rather than later.
Thank you so, so much for any assistance in this matter!
