Yes, that is correct. I do know of a program to go from Corpsman to LVN, but I looked into some programs for the bridge to RN and it would be basically the same amount of schooling. So I figured I should just get into a regular RN program. From the nurses I have talked to before, suggested that I get my ADN just to get my foot in the door then move on to BSN, however I didnt know that about the level 1 trauma centers which is where I would like to end up. As far as schools go, would you suggest going to a school with a more well known name? From what I understand Hospitals do look at that as well. Thank you for your reply.

Salutations! I am currently enlisted as a FMF Corpsman with a little less than a year left on my contract. I've worked 3 years in a military ER and spent 2 with the Marines. I've decided that I loved trauma medicine and the hands on care that nurses provide. My question is, what would be the best route for obtaining a nursing degree? Any advice or personal experience would be greatly appreciated.
