2. Officer/Enlisted marriage question

   southeastbends posted a topic in Government

   I was curious about how this scenario might play out or if this decision is unwise: I will be graduating with my BSN soon and have considered applying for commission to the USAF given the current job market and my student loans. My husband is curren...

   Take Note: If you were the type to study the night before, cram the information, and manage As...take this warning: I would say this is near impossible in nursing school. Nearly everything builds upon itself or is cumulative. If you don't gain a good...
