Too old for military nursing??

Published

Hi Everyone! I'm new and just wanted to say "hello"!! I'm starting my first year of RN school this fall - after a year of prereqs and I'm so excited!! I would really like to enter the military after I graduate as an RN, but I'm afraid I might be too old. I'll be 43. Does anyone know of a branch that will take me at that age??

Thanks so much!!
