STRAP program

Published

Hello,

I'm a former enlisted Marine and have just completed my RN. I've been reading up on the BSN-STRAP program and I am very curious about it. My question is: my RN program was a hospital based diploma program, so I don't have my ADN. I am currently enrolled in a RN-BSN program, are you required to have an associates degree to be eligible for the STRAP program.

Thank you.

I found this publication: http://www.goarmy.com/content/dam/goarmy/downloaded_assets/pdfs/amedd/RPI 518 FS Nurse Corps Sep 11 LowRes.pdf

Granted, that is from 2011, but it says STRAP is for RNs who have an ADN or a diploma and who are enrolled in a BSN program, and that they can received payments for up to 24 months.

Oh, hey! Found this here: Undergraduate Health Care Education | GoArmy.com -- it says the same thing for STRAP under the Reserves section.

Thank you for your service, and congrats on becoming an RN! :) Sounds like your next step is to contact a healthcare recruiter.
