Military and Nursing School

Published

I'm sure I'm duplicating a thread, but I couldn't seem to find any discussions that answered a few of my questions/concerns specifically.

Are there any military spouses out there who succesfully completed nursing school although their husband/wife was active military?

Here's my issue: I was halfway through the prereqs for nursing schools in Colorado when my husband and I decided that he should join the military. Now i'm concerned that my credits won't transfer once we moved. Does anyone have any experience with that? I'm determined to get RN licensure, however, it'd be nice to get some advice and answers to these questions from nursing students/nurses that have gone through a simliar situation.

There are several threads about this but I'm a military wife (hubby now retired) and I did LPN and ADN while he was active duty.

Not too much fun as we moved three times in 5 years while I was trying to complete school.

Most valuable tip I can give you: Keep your course description books so that you can adequately describe courses that you have already taken and are submitting for transfer at a new school.
