Hi everyone I am deeply confused and in desperate need on some insight. First I would like to say I am a senior in college, I'll be receving my B.A. in Sociology. I am a mother of one and an aspiring nurse.
Im pretty sure once I graduate there will be a nice pile of loan debt waiting for me. I want to go to nursing school but adding to my debt just seems unreasonable. I decided I to join the Air Force but it'll be after graduation. I decided to join because if I don't make it to nursing school I'll still possibly be an officer because of my degree, thus providing a decent salary for me and my son.
But my question to everyone is should I join Air Force Rotc during the nuring program? Am I elgible to do that even though I have a previous degree? Or should I join the Air Force Reserve? Is it possible I can be a officer in the reserve and attend nursing school? Or should I go straight to the Air Force? Lastly I know you can't have your child during boot camp training but what about after? I heard they announced about a year ago that you can have your child along as your not deployed. Knowing all this what is best? I'm deeply confused.
It is best to discuss your options with a recruiter, preferably a healthcare recruiter, to see if there are any options for direct help with nursing school. Best wishes.
