I started my healthcare life as a Hospital Corpsman. Your training as an LPN would be a great asset to you if you enter any military service. Unfortunately, the Navy only recognizes R.N.s, with a BSN, as an officer (that's where the money and benefits are). Recruiters have a tendency to offer incoming clients many things. They may not actually understand the difference in schooling re: L.P.N.s and R.N.s. My advice...Any promise need to be in writing; have a goal of B.S.N./R.N./officer; enjoy the many benefits that are afforded being in the military.

I have been an elementary school nurse for 13 years. I think it''s a great idea. Of the >1,000 school nurses listed in Indiana, there are only 3 fulltime male RNs that I'm aware of. Many school systems will allow anyone coach. It's a matter of school policy. It's good money in my district. John McClure RN NCSN Health Services Coordinator

It is difficult due to the amount of information. I successfully certified/recertified the CEN 3 times. There was a core cirriculum for that. I highly recommend the NASN School Nurse Certification Review and School Nursing: A Comprehensive Text. Study slowly and methodically. John McClure RN NCSN
