I am a prior service army medic. I am working on my first year of a bsn program. I am 32 and I am to old for the 4 year scholarship, you have to be 29. I talked to rotc commander and he says I should talk to the national guard or reserves, to get help with tuition. They were talking about smp and rotc next fall. The reserves said I could do m6 and then a bridge program. I already accepted to a nurse program I am not sure what to do....

If you are already accepted into a BSN program I would not go M6 since it will only delay you in obtaining your BSN. If you already finished your first year of nursing school what good would a bridge program do you?

I see your point. I guess I will just have to wait til August 2012.

I take it you are entering your senior year? If that is so you need to contact a health care recruiter asap since it takes 12 months or more on average to complete the paperwork and be commisioned
