I got my BSN but ran into some licensure issues with the board. Will the navy still take me?

Yes you have to have a license

What was the issue that didn't allow the BON to grant you a license? That same issue could keep you from joining the military...

deferred adjudication for class A misdemeanor assault. but i'm already off probation. so it shouldn't be a problem... maybe i should talk to a recruiter...

Specializes in EMT, ER, Homehealth, OR.

Yes, it could be a big problem. You will need a waiver for that, it could be hard even going enlisted at this point with the downsizing. It never hurts to ask because if you don't the answer is always no, but don't get your hopes up too high.
