thank you!

Hi, Please help with recommendations for online masters level PMHNP. I have been a psych nurse for about 12 years. I have a BSN with some masters credits. Thank you!

Thanks so much for the replies. Why is the likelihood of getting accepted into grad school dependent on which unit you are in? Also, when you say if it aint in your contract... do we negotiate a contract with a recruiter? (sorry to be so ignorant about the whole thing). You've given me great advice and I do have to think about my motivation. I already have lots of school loans but I thought there would be some kind of bonus or loan forgiveness. I would like to get some exceptional training, but what exactly do nurses do in the reserves? I know it's a once a month commitment and then two weeks a year? Would I be working in a local hospital like a VA? ( I'm in Wisconsin if that helps). Thanks again! robin

Hi, I'm completely new to the forum and know very little about military nursing. I'm a second career nurse (44 yrs old) with an ADN in Dec 04 (passed boards in may 05) and will graduate with a BSN in Dec 06. I'd like to get a masters or maybe CRNA. Is the army reserve my only option given my age? (I'm only interested in reserves not active duty). Some of the nurses I work with are in the Army reserve but they keep telling me not to join. I'm really interested in the extra money for school. Could someone address the money available for continuing education/loan forgiveness in the reserves and if there is a need for nurses my age. thank you! robin
