I just enlisted into the Army today and I have the MOS of 68W. I want to serve 20 years in the Army & my end goal is to commission. I have about 67 college credit hours and just have a handful of Pre reqs to finish to apply for a BSN program.
My questions are:
realistically, will I have time to take one or two classes?
I know that becoming a commissioned nurse is rigorous & competitive, so what should I do to make myself competitive?
what routes can I take to commission after getting my BSN?
Which type of nurses are needed in the army? (L&D/ICU etc)
Is it possible that I can choose to work in hospitals with my job?
I know there is a 68C mos (LPN) but if I wanted to get licensed, is there still an M6 identifier for 68W?
