   Transitioning from Military - Corpsman to ASN to BSN - Route to take

   navy_corpsman1891 replied to doc8406's topic in ADN/BSN

   I agree with chuckster. Don't waste your time and money challenging the LPN/LVN boards. If you go LPN-RN bridge, it will only take out a semester. Check with the school of your choice and see their career path/ RN program. I just graduated few months ago with the ADN (16 months). It is very easy to get accepted for the BSN once you get your license. Only bad thing is there are no jobs because of the recession. I have spoken with recruiters and they do not like corpsman/medic experience compared to RN experience because "we weren't RNs when we were in the the military". I suggest go for ADN and then BSN. While you are in school, start networking with your professors, your clinical charge nurses, nurse managers in the unit you are assigned. They might offer you a job some day once you get your license. Good luck.

   Miami Dade College: NACE Exam (Transitional Students)

   navy_corpsman1891 replied to navy_corpsman1891's topic in Florida

   I didn't do good. I got a 53%. 22 points off. Very close but not enough. More studying needs to be done. Now I know, it should be easier for the retake. Thank you for your help.
