nineteen19

You couldn't have made it any clearer, Pixie.RN--thank you! My number one priority/goal currently, is to achieve an BSN. You're right, if I had decided to enlist, my priorities would have required some altering and that is just not something I am willing to delay. It seems by enlisting it will only set back my goal. I will continue on my program path and re-explore my military options after I achieve a BSN.

I did some research on this route as well, tRN4L. I am leaning towards this route because I prefer the idea of entering as an Officer as well as having more time to focus and concentrate on my degree is my first priority (as military needs are first should I enlist). Thank you for the information :)

Thank you, Gr4ceffa for your reply. You provided some helpful information about what the housing situation may be like.

Hi there, this is my first post and I do appreciate any feedback or advice any of you might offer me. I am currently working on my gen-eds in hopes to apply for the RN program at my local cc--should all go well I will be able to begin Spring '19 (a stretch away!) I do, however, have a desire to serve my country (as my father and Uncles have), I do want to note I do have a two-year-old child and am 32 (I am uncertain of the age requirements as I've seen them change every so often). My questions are: If I decide to enlist now, will I get to continue my schooling at the cc of my choice or will I have to do so on base (possibly in another state)? I have a family, would they be able to move with me, if it is mandatory that I go out of state? How often will I have to be away from my child? Is it best to wait until I achieve an ADN/BSN before enlisting/commission into the AF? What is the routine/lifestyle/typical day of a nursing student in the air force? I have just started looking into this information so again, any advice and comments I do truly appreciate!!
