I'm an Army Nurse in the National Guard. Just go and get your BSN from any accredited program and then access into the military as a nurse. Don't waste your time going in enlisted -- it will hold...
Thanks for the response, Bluebolt. I kept looking for some post-masters programs and noticed a couple do exist. It would be nice not to take the theory classes all over again. I have always been...
