Online nursing degree while in the military, yay or nay

Published

Ok hi all. Im new here but i need advice bad cause i cant find any info on this. So imma join the military for personel reasons but i also want to be a rn nurse. So i was thinking of getting my associates online in the military and finishing up my bachelors after im get out.I want to know can i enter a nursing progran in a college and finish up if my bachelors. Cause i heard as long the online course is accredited my credits will transfer and ill be elegible for the rn test. Is this true. And im aslo wondering if employers will look down on me if i take this route. Or is it better to just finish my 4 years of service and then go to college on campus for my bachelors. Itll take longer so i was hoping to do sone online while in the military and finish in campus.Please hlp my situation is wierd and thanks

You can't do a nursing program online. Nursing involves hands on skills that you need to learn in person. You could probably do some prerequisites online but much of the actual program involves skills labs and working in clinical settings, which are not things you can do online.

i'm a little unclear, do you have any nursing education for example LPN, most RN programs are only done in classroom setting only, unless they are prerequisites that can be done online.
