Would I get my loans paid off???

Specializes in Med/Surg.

I was just wondering if the military would pay off all or most of my loans if I join after graduating. If so, do anyone know at what level would I start? Would I be an officer or what rank would I have? I've always thought about military nursing but I was pleased with my recruiter advise, so I decided that I want to join after I'm finished with school.

You would start as an officer in the rank of 2LT (Army or Air Force) or Ensign (Navy).

Army Recruiting is offering loan repayment and/or bonuses. Contact your local health care recruiter for the details.

Congratulations on your decision to join the Military Medicine family!

In the Navy we are currently offering a loan repayment program, but you have to meet certain requirements. Talk to the recruiter about it or I can elaborate more.

Sounds like DanznRN & ANC_Maj both gave you excellent advice. Plus, the recruiter mentioned you should finish school first, which then with BSN you can apply for direct commission.

BTW, to the best of my knowledge you will sign a longer contract committment [officers don't enlist] as part of the loan repayment program. IMHO, this is an excellent opportunity for you to repay your school loans, serve your country as a military nurse, and have more respect in nursing via Army Medical Department [or any other military medical department].
