Hey all! This is my 1st post so bare with me. I've been a LVN for 6 years. I'm currently on a waiting list for the RN program (2 year wait). I work home health, urgent care, and do intermittent visits NOW. I am a work-a-holic! I enjoy it though...money is good and I can always make more or work less if I choose to. I spoke with a naval recruiter yesterday and he said there were no openings in nursing!!! I also spoke with an Army recruiter and he said the ARMY does have nursing opportunities. I don't have an associate's degree but I am interested in military nursing. Can I go in as a LVN and work my way up to RN in military? Has anyone done this and if so what steps did you take? I want to do it for experience and not money. I hear I may be taking a 30% pay cut but I want to be the best RN I can be.
