If you have a bachelors degree then you can be commissioned as an officer in the national guard or army reserves.Then you should be able to apply for the strap program which pays a monthly stipend & in return you agree to give 2 years of service for each year you receive assistance. I used this years ago to go back for anesthesia school & I think it still exists but it should be easy to find out. I don’t know about active duty. I only had to do my once a month drill. I don’t no where you are located but in Nc there was a math and science loan program that is forgivable if you agree to work in a underrepresented area for 2 years. Hope this helps. Best of luck.

I think this is a wonderful idea. My daughter is currently in a BSN program with hopes of becoming a CRNA in the future. I plan to help her all I can but hearing about other nurses journey & tips for gaining admission would be tremendously beneficial.

My daughter is in her first semester of a BSN program. Fundamentals is a struggle for her. I completed a BSN program and anesthesia school some years ago now and we focused more on the facts & A&P. But now they are requiring that you “think like a nurse”. How is that even possible if you’ve never been a nurse. After trying to help my daughter for months now without success I finally realized that I can’t teach her the way I studied. I find the key to studying success is by creating scenarios and then applying the facts but not getting to in-depth into A&P, then adding in a list of what to do and not do. Then we added in any applicable medications along with contraindications, precautions,etc. I do agree with JpnAZ it does feel like an online self taught nursing class. When we applied to our nursing program I expressed a concern about the think like a nurse issue. They assured me that their program is set up to teach this. So far that hasn’t happened. Perhaps it’s because of the modifications due to the pandemic.
