ADN: Reserves vs. Active Duty

Specialties Government

Published

I'm posting this for a friend. What are the pros and cons of enlisting in the Navy as a corpman now (she has her ADN and a BS but not in nursing) or going into the Navy Reserves as an officer, getting her BSN, then going Active Duty?

Yes, you are correct. I misread the post.

My apologies.

Hi,

No worries I am sure. I have misread and even outright misinterpreted things online as it is so easy to do without the 63% or so of non-verbal communication that goes along with real face to face conversations!

She will not be able to come into any form of the navy with an ADN. We only accept nurses with a bsn; not matter if it is for active duty or reserves.

The army is the only branch that will accept adn's into thier reserves.

*** The Air National Guard also commisions ADN RNs.
