Navy DUINS/degree questions

[ANONYMOUS999]

Hey guys. I have been working as a Trauma/Emergency RN for over a decade, currently active duty. I'm no longer looking at a degree in my specialty, I'm a bit burned out. I'm hoping those with prior DUINS experience can help me out a bit here, information seems so scattered. 

1. Non-nursing degrees are mentioned as a possibility, does anyone know what these are or the guidelines for this? 

2. I was thinking maybe more along the lines of a Leadership Masters...maybe Public Health MS, Nursing educations MS. I would love any comments from people who headed that direction before me. I just need to shift a bit, and I would love to shift more towards teaching/managing over bedside care at this point. 

3. It looks more and more like DUINS might just not be a feasible option. Anyone just get your MS on your own time while working full shifts? Was it feasible?

Thanks so much. I don't have very many people I can speak with and input would be welcome to help with clarity.

Sorry, what are DUINSs?

No military branch accepts nurses without a properly accredited Bachelors or graduate degree in nursing.  It's been that way for decades.  I assume the Navy's DUINS program is the same way.  I would bet that the intention of mentioning any other degree is that it may be considered for initial rank.
