ADN Army Reserve or BSN Army Reserve

[Shijo]

hello. i'm currently going to an adn program. i still have a little over a year left. i'm prior service army and ever since i etsed i knew i wanted to go back into the military once i had a nursing degree. my husband is currently recruiting officers in the marine corps and he says it's really competitive right now. so i guess i'm just looking for a little bit of insider information as far as the army reserves. i understand that there is the candidate program for if you have an adn and are continuing to bsn. there's also direct commissioning for adn and bsn. i am going to continue towards a bsn regardless of if i join under adn or not. i'm more curious as to which route to go to optimize my chances of being selected. i plan on going to the recruiter after this summer semester is completed. i want to go in as informed as possible though. so anything information will be appreciated :)

on a side note i was wondering how long the training is. i saw two weeks, but that just seems too short.

laughed at what? that paperwork from years ago is hard to compile? I bet it is! :)

Is the Army Reserve still offering the 2year service obligation (Nurse Corp) for people over age 40? I have a BSN & MSN and interested!
