Thank you so much for all of your advice! Very helpful. Thanks again!

Thank you for your assistance!

Thank you for that advice! I do appreciate it. And I agree 12 months is a short time in the grand scheme! And so it may come down to doing exactly what you said. :) Thanks again!

Great idea! Thank you. I do actually have most of the pre-reqs already because I was a pre-allied health student as well. So I have Physiology, Chemistry, Microbiology, Statistics, Biology and Psychology. The one class I know I have to take is an Anatomy class - which I'm in the process of signing up for. Any other classes you would recommend? I know a lot of the accelerated BSN programs I've looked at require a variety of other random classes that I don't have - but none of them are consistent - except in the classes I already have with the exception of the anatomy class. One program requires a random psychology class (not the general one) and another requires a development through the lifespans course. But I haven't found consistency in that requirement. If I need to move this to another thread. Please do let me know! I just know that lot of people who go into the military have done their schooling beforehand and might have some good suggestions and are more familiar with military lifestyle than people on other threads! Thanks again!

Hey all! I'm really hoping to get some advice to help me out! I have a Bachelor's in Human Nutrition and want to go back to school to be a nurse. I'm not opposed to joining the military to do so - but it's not my ideal choice at all. I understand this forum is for those wanting to join the military as a nurse - but I thought some of you might have some suggestions based off your experiences. My husband is in the military - Marines - and just starting flight school. Therefore, we have no idea what our lives will look like for the next 1.5 to 2.5 years. Especially because he won't know his aircraft for another 9 months - which makes a big difference in where he goes for more training and what bases are an option after. Here are a few options I've researched and thought about. Any and all suggestions are so appreciated. 1. Accelerated BSN Program - pros - only takes 12 months - cons - expensive, requires me living away from my husband (due to our constant change of living location due to training). 2. Get a CNA certification just so I can start getting experience and wait to do an accelerated BSN program when we are more settled. 3. Get an LPN certification so I can start getting experience and possibly do an LPN to RN and then RN to BSN program later. Or an accelerated BSN program later. I understand the first option seems to make the most sense - I'm just having a hard time with it. My husband and I just finished long distance dating and got married only a few months ago and are finally together. So the idea of being apart again is not fun. Therefore, I'm just really trying to see if there's any other option. If not, I can accept that. But not until I look at all my options. Thanks in advance for the help and advice!

Thank you for all the great information! I really appreciate. I have a Bachelor's in Human Nutrition. I most definitely accidentally made up the BSN in Human Nutrition. Haha! It was time for bed. We won't know which aircraft my husband gets for another 10 months and therefore we won't know until then if his training is 2 or 3 years and we also won't know which bases will be our options - because it's all based off what aircraft he gets. That's why i was trying to look at other options in the meantime, since planning ahead isn't really a possibility at this point with the lack of information. I will certainly check out the military forum! Thank you.
