hi. i am a pre nursing student and will be starting the nursing program in spring 2010. i am trying to get help with paying for my education. i was considering joining army rotc or air force and becoming a nurse...then going to grad school to become a neonatal nurse practitioner or neonatal clinical nurse specialist but i still want to stay in school but the school i am at does not have an air force rotc program. i went to a recruiting office but they started talking about enlisting now which i am not trying to do since i want to complete school first. they also said that i would basically be getting over $1000 a month..???... does anyone know what would be the best route for me to take or best thing to do? how long would i have to serve if i tried to get the scholarship? if i did sign up to join would i have to leave school or could i wait to go active or reserve after graduation? basically i dont know how anything works out in the military and any advice or help would be appreciated because i am seriously confused about everything.
