Thank you for your military service & be sure to visit the Military Nursing section here on allnurses.com.

Hey Corvette Guy, (sorry to butt in dlhall)

How did you like Galveston? What was it like living there? Did you live in Galveston proper or outside?

Thank you both for your service to our country.

LOL, this is an open forum :)

I did not live in, or near Galveston while in the program. I lived in Buda, TX, which was about 3.5 hr drive one-way to the campus. I visited the UTMB Galveston campus about only 2-3 x's/semester during my 2yrs in the RN-BSN web-based online program.

I did enjoy my visits to Galveston. However, the online program was very tough, and I'm very proud of my 3.766 GPA. I learned alot about using my PC, too, while in the program.

BTW, thanks... very proud to serve.

Duh, I missed th' online portion of your original post.

BTW, I think 3.766 GPA is something to be proud of regardless of location. :)

Happy New Year!

1. So, you have served 17 yrs active duty, so far?

2. You could possibly help Kelly_the_Great w/Galveston info. BTW, I sent you a PM about another member needing Coast Guard info, did you read it?

3. Have you considered an MSN program, if UTMB Galveston as such? I ask because you already have a Bachelors degree. I know UT, at Austin [Go Horns! ...beat USC] has a program that if you have a Bachelors degree you can apply for MSN program. Cool thing is before you complete the MSN program you can sit for the BNE for your nursing license. Again, I don't know if UTMB has same type program?

4. OS? Okay, if you had an MOS, or AOC as in the Army, or USMC, then I'd know your previous Navy military specialty. :uhoh21: Even though the USMC falls under the Dept. of the Navy it seems like the Marine Corps has more similarities with the Army, except for sea going terms. LOL, I'd rather make a Head call, than go to the latrine. :chuckle

5. I was PCS MCAS EL Toro 1985-1988. I loved it out there... alot cleaner beaches than the Gulf Coast, too. :stone
