Thank you all so much for your information and reassurance. I am looking forward to getting out of the Army, but more importantly starting school. I've started to study some basic A&P and micro-bio. I also pick my medics brain every chance I get. Santa Fe College's academic advisor sent me an email saying the school would do everything it can to acamodate to my NG training schedule(yeah, I messed up and signed one of those contracts). Once again though, thanks for the advice and encouragement.

I know I haven't done an introduction yet, but I guess that part of AN is down right now... So long story short: I ETS from the Army in March '17. I'm not a medic; in fact, I'm the opposite of a medic so when I tell people I want to go to nursing school they give a confused look. Regardless, I am deadset on become an RN. I would love to get some perspective from current nursing students who happen to be veterans as well as other students who have veterans in their class. Most of my peers are going back to being civilians. I guess I am going a step further than them and going from the land of testosterone to being surrounded by mostly females. Just to give some more background information: I am a Forward Observer in the 101st. I am going to apply to Santa Fe college in Florida and use my Post 911 GI Bill pay for school. Thanks in advance for your advice and opinions.
