panam had a good summary.. Army reserve you can meet entry requirements and be promoted up until cpt with ADN.. that being said finding an active duty slot within the reserves is another search in itself. As panam said with the number of experienced applicants having a BSN (due to high amount of applicants + high current retention of nurses) that there are less jobs out there.. you will need to find what reserve units are in your area... that having nursing slots and to go from there.. as it varies geographically based on how far you want to drive and where your 'home' is.

These days, ADN can only get you so far.. You should look into ADN-BSN bridge programs. A lot more opportunities are present with a BSN degree.
