You seem very knowledgeable on the military aspect of nursing! I am currently in a BSN program and I am looking at both the navy and the airforce. I don't think that I am eligible for the navy currently because of when I graduate I missed the cut off. I wanted to know 2 things. First how do I find out all the bonuses or scholarships that I am eligible for through either branch. I want to get everything they will give me! Also I don't understand why I can't apply for the navy scholarship still. I am not graduating till next may? Also if you have any advise that for a potential military nurse please educate me! Thanks in advanced

I would see research them both. How are you with bodily fluids? Right now both programs are hard to get into I believe that both of their prerequisites are the same or only a few variations in which classes are needed to get in. I would work your way toward both and see which one you get into first. I am in the nursing program and although I got in on my first application most all of my classmates have spent years trying to get in. I believe that nurses get paid more but if you can't get into school the salary difference is negated. Also I don't know about the job outlook for ultrasound tech is but I know its hard right now for new nurses especially if you get into a Associates program. Hope this helps!
