I've finally decided to go active navy enlisted. I'll have a ASN and sit for the boards before enlisting. My last post was very helpful so I decided to try again. What do you guys think about going to corpsman school for about 6 months and work in the field vs cross training in something non-healthcare (not work in the field), while I get my BSN? I would be out of the field for about a year and half maybe two because I can't be a nurse without the BSN even though I would be an RN. I don't like the prospect of being out so long but I also like the idea of cross training in something completely different. Also any corpsman out there that can tell what the heck you do out of corpsman school without a C school under your belt? My recuiter is encouraging me to wait a little bit after A school to go to C school.

I've been thinking about joining the navy. I need a break from school and i'll have an RN in may. I wanted to know the military nurses or corpsmans opinions of going active duty corpsman and getting my BSN online or going reserves and trying to get a job and doing an online BSN. I have a BS degree just not in nursing and I'll have a RN degree in may. Also how hard would it be to go reserves and get my BSN and then go active? I already work full time and go to school so thats not an issue (I currently don't work in health care) Thanks for any insight
