First and foremost, thank you to anyone who responds with any helpful hints or points. I have looked at many Military CRNA threads here and most seem either over 5 years old or don't quite cover the area my questions lean toward. so with that... I am 27 years old and have been a nurse for 5 years, and have been in the SICU all 5 years. I have been accepted to a civilian CRNA DNP program and will begin school in January. My question is...is it possible at any point during my program to talk to a recruiter about tuition assistance? My program is all in all going to cost about $100K. Speaking with a recruiter became an idea only after looking at student loans and realizing I am going to be pinching pennies for the next 3 years. I was just curious if anyone has any information about whether or not any branches of the military can assist you while currently in a civilian CRNA program? I'm not married and don't have kids so the thought of the military "owning me" doesn't really bother me. Also if anyone has any opinions on which branch has the better offer for new CRNAs, i would love to hear that as well. Again thank you for any and all responses!
