Ok got it. Thanks LunahRN :) Guess I'll just have to wait till I get my BSN. I'll share the info with my other classmates as they too have been wondering about the requirements. Maybe by the time I get my bachelors, there will be a healthcare recruiter in Hawaii.....though I doubt it

I need some insight on this also. I'm in an ADN program now and was entertaining the idea of going into the military. I would prefer to go into the air guard. Is there any chance that I can be a nurse with just an ADN in the air guard? Or do I need to get in with a BSN? I live in Hawaii and graduate in Dec '12. If all goes as planned, I will eventually go and get my BSN-it just depends on if the university system here will begin to offer the RN-BSN program again. As of right now, I really want to join but I have no idea where to start. The one recruiter I talked to was not of any help. He just talked to me about taking the ASVAB and then go from there. I'm worried that I'll go in as an E4 which i know I shouldn't do if I'm seriously thinking of becoming an nurse in the military. I'm open to any branch in the military but I'm right now just interested in the guard. Pls help......

I've been putting a lot of thought into joining the air guard but have no idea where to start. I'm currently an LPN working on getting my ADN. I hope to get my ADN in December '12. I've gone on to the website above to "contact a recruiter" but the closest one to Hawaii is in Santa Monica, CA? I've talked to a few military nurses and they are saying that my best bet is to get my BSN first then join the air guard because then I can practice as a nurse. Is this correct? I was hoping that when I do get my ADN, I could join the air guard as a nurse and work towards getting my BSN. So my question is this, is it possible for a person with an ADN join the air guard and practice as a nurse? If so, how do would a person go about doing this? If I can't do this, is the recommendation to get my BSN then join the air guard? Any helpful comments would be much appreciated. Thank you in advance :)
