Soldier wanting to be a Nurse

Nursing Students Pre-Nursing

Published

Hello all! I am new to this forum, I joined because I have a bunch of questions I wanted to ask. I am currently in the US Army, and I am starting my education to help me become an RN. I am attending a Community College that is on post, and I am starting General Ed. Is General Education (Math, English) a year, and then the second year all nursing classes? My plan is to get my B.S.N. I am currently stationed in California, but plan to finish nursing school in Kansas City, MO. :)

Any information will be GREATLY appreciated! Have a nice day folks... :)

What is your MOS? Have you considered re-classing to 68C practical nursing specialist? I know your main goal is to become an RN, but at least LPN is a step in the right direction.. And this might eliminate your conundrum with working full time and going to school, since the Army would be paying you to go to 68C school. Yes, I know re-classing can be a pain in the butt, or near impossible, but it's just a thought. Good luck with everything! :)

I am a 92Y, and I can't stay in, I am getting Med-boarded. LPN is not an option, I might as well suck it up and wait to be a RN. Thank you. :)
