As far as I know no branch takes ADNs for AD.

Well, correct me if i am wrong i really think that the Air National Guard and the Army reserves accept nurses with ADN commissioned as a Second Lieutenant Officer. However, you cannot become captain until you have your BSN. Otherwise, you will be discharged from the Air Guard if you don't have your BSN after 4 years.:zzzzz:cool::confused:

Hi BE16,

I believe WTBCRNA said "AD" , as in "Active Duty" require a BSN.

However, the Guard/Reserve do take ADN
