I have been attempting to join the navy for 2 years as I completed my BSN but have not been able to. (I was a long term care charge nurse, and now I'm a nurse manager) I want to become an FNP and then join. Is this a rigorous screening and application process? As well, do I need a Doctoral Degree or is a Masters ok? I know I need to go to a CCNE school. Any other tips would be great. Thanks!
