  2. Uniform for commissioning to Regular Army

    just_cause replied to olderthandirt2's topic in Government, Military

  5. Airforce Updates - Boards/Bonus

    just_cause replied to cat2008's topic in Government, Military

  9. Army nurse residency

    just_cause replied to aniko743's topic in Government, Military

    just_cause replied to millsnd's topic in General Nursing

    If you don't have a degree at this time.... then BSN is a great route towards becoming a PA. That being said it is probably only good if you want to work as an RN for a period of time. If you feel...

  11. Navy or AF?

    just_cause replied to UpNAboutRN's topic in Government, Military

    just_cause replied to lahlee's topic in Government, Military

    The Army 'recognizes' those certificates, but this is a list of available "jobs" within the Army. Once you are in the Army there are more pathways - but you do not necessarily have as much control as...

    just_cause replied to UpNAboutRN's topic in Government, Military
