Wow.. I didn't know this. I'm currently working at a military base as an Lon which hired me 10 yrs ago. The reason I asked is we are looking at a possible move to Arizona sometime within next year and looking at options to work there.

Is this true...???? I have had my license for over 10 years via challenging the nclex testing due to my military background...

Is this true....????

Anyone done this??? I always see the ads for the college network and Indiana state university, has anyone done these and do you get the bang for your buck?? are there any other paths to take to get your BSN thanks

One other thing I heard from others is not to BS them with an answer.... they know the answer, they are checking to see if you do!

I must have stumped everyone with this question. ?

Jade; do you think this would hinder me being hired for any of those spots with "graduate of an accredited LPN program"?

Heres a question that I have asked a few people not on the boards and none really could answer.... I challenged to California lvn testing as I had 20 years in the military as a corpsman/medic. I was able to pass the test on the 1st try and able to work for the department of defense as an lpn. My question is: I am updating my resume and need to know what and how to enter the fact that I used my military training for my education?? I do have my certificates from my military training.. do I use those as my official education listing? thanks in advance

To RN Fiona... I disagree..... I did 20 years active duty air force as a medic, worked on the med surg floors, starting IV's, dropping NG's in the ER, Did a deployment during desert shield/storm taking care of people who had parts of their bodies blown off by IED's. I was able to challenge and pass the California lvn nclex on 1st try and have worked for the past 11 years at a military clinic. I do think that I am well versed and trained in all aspects.........! just my .02
