Will my undergrad help me at all

[wtc1976]

Just a quick feeler out there. I already have my theories, but not sure and need the seasoned Nurses input. I served eight years as a Navy/ Marine Corpsman. I went to school and picked up my B.S. In Health Care Management. Spent some time in the QM/Compliance areas. I missed clinical so I went picked up my LPN and now finishing my RN soon.

My question is will the time spent on my undergrad be a waste? My thoughts are it should not since it is a health related area and a higher degree level than ADN. Again., just need some input on the veteran nurses out there to see if I am wrong in my thinking on this. What do you all think?

BS/HCM maybe not that helpful at 1st, but can be in the long-run.

QM/Compliance good potential value.

8 years Corpsman: Lots of potential to leverage those skills. List all the skills that you developed that most other new grads won't have.

Also, consider applying at the VA or governmental entities that provide additional eligibility points when you apply. You earned them.
