  1. Thank you guys very much for the input, both of you have been great mentors since I started going on this website so I really do appreciate the information. I wish I would have made military a full-time career sooner. I've been a civilian ICU nurse f...
  2. Army Reserve Nursing

    possibly, but the 50% (constructive credit) starts at the time you get your BSN - so you might come in as an O-1 but you will qualify for special pay with your CCRN so keep that up and goodluck!
  3. GI bill

    I will be doing active duty for the army soon, currently on my 2nd year as a reservist but my ultimate goal is crna. It is a great plan that you are pursuing a master's in another field just in case crna doesn't workout but how are things going for y...
  4. Med school drop out, now a CRNA. Ask me anything...

  5. AMEDD 2018 66s

    JLB, I am currently in the same position, I've been in USAR for almost 2 years but I started an active duty packet sometime in March, 2018. The G1 signed my dd368 and my recruiter told me my "unofficial" scroll was approved June 30th. I will be go...
  6. High School Senior Interested in the Military

    It's great you are thinking about this at a young age. If you have the opportunity to pursue BSN right after high school, I would take that and run with it. You can use enlistment as a back-up plan. If your finances/parents can help you with school ...
  7. Army nurse reserves

    I was in your situation not so long ago, so I will try my best to answer these questions but ditto to Jfratian's responses 1. If you work every other weekend at your regular job, and you drill one weekend a month, does that mean you only have one wee...
  8. I know this is an old post but is a leadership and management master's program the same as a MSN in Administration? Also did you ever complete your program at WGU or any new thoughts or feedback on it? Thank you
  9. Is an MSN degree in Leadership and Management the same as an MSN in Administration? I've seen it offered in different universities but not both, so I am assuming it is an interchangeable term. I am looking into the program at WGU and it is appealing ...
  10. Army Nurse Corps acceptance

    Congrats Sam, you seem like a highly competitive candidate. 3.8 GPA and certified in your MOS is legit. Will you be coming in as a 1LT (O-2) with time in grade? The only thing I can recommend is excellent letters of recommendation from your manager, ...
  11. Roger that, thank you ma'am
  12. Thank you Neats. I'm actually looking into dual MSN/MBA programs if anyone has any recommendations or if it is worth doing that instead of just an MS in Administration. I wanted to use TA as well if it is concurrent or is it added after my initial a...
  13. Lol great answer and thank you
  14. Thank you Ma'am. What school and how long did it take? Also does military like informatics or admin more ? Or it doesn't matter? Thank you again
  15. Wow congrats and thank you for the input Jfration. Honestly I'd be more interested in admin although it does seem saturated, bottom line it's a masters and if you bring that to civilian sector it's easily a six figure salary on top of your military e...
