  NEED HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  
  Brief info:
  
  I am currently Army reservist E4 since 2015. Took RN exam passed 2016. Have a BSN degree from the Philippines and 1 year experience as hospital Med- Surg nurse here in United States.
  
  I'm trying to go Direct Commissioning. I called the Amedd recruiter in the state i lived in as soon as i found out that i passed the NClex-RN. Recruiter said that i need to have at least 6 mos. of hospital experience first prior to application then i could apply for DC even though i had my BSN education in the Philippines (he verified this to the OIC in charge) they said i should be ok as long as i have the months of experience needed. After about having 7 mos. of clinical experience i called the recruiter back, this time they said that I CAN NOT proceed for applying DC due to my BSN was completed from the Philippines.(BTW my education was evaluated by WES before joining the Army as enlisted soldier and it says EQUIVALENT to USA BSN in Nursing). I talked to my commander and 1st Sgt. in my unit about this situation and they are really wanting me to go to DC but i am so confused about the foreign BSN issue that i have at this point.
  
  Any body with same issue? or any info. about this. ? please help i am so helpless at thi point.
  
  Thanks in advance.
