If you enter the military as an RN, you are commissioned as a 2nd Lieutenant (Ensign in the Navy) just like anyone that is coming into the military to fill a position that requires a bachelor's degree. Check with a recruiter if you have an advanced RN degree or specialty to see if you qualify for a higher rank.
A doctor normally comes in as a Captain (Lieutenant in the Navy) as it requires more education.
Yes, you can become a nurse or EMT while on active duty. I knew of several that did both while was in the Air Force.

If you have only been out of training a few years, you'll enter as a second lieutenant. More experienced nurses can come in at a higher rank. You can get a nursing degree while in the military, but you'll be an enlisted person until you graduate. Medical corpsmen, can gain many academic credits towards being an EMT in the military. It used to be that some states would let you challenge their exam if you had enough credits, but I don't know if that is still true.

i'm not sure why you are able to sense that the coaching you won replaced into any extra suited then the coaching that a peer could have won. the protection rigidity has a time-honored - in case you fall interior of that time-honored, you're seen equivalent between your friends. the army demands each guy or woman who chooses to grow to be an officer have a minimum of one, 4 3 hundred and sixty 5 days credible college degree (maximum 4yr college are credible establishments so as that they fall below this time-honored), have a minimum of a three.0 GPA or above ( 3.0 - 4.0), between different standards! After going to BCT (situation-loose wrestle practise), you will head off to citadel Benning, GA for OCS (Officer Candidate college) the place you will compete against approx one hundred seventy five persons for a branch you desire! protection rigidity Intelligence is the 1st to flow, observed by potential of Infantry! With the approach you seem to have, you are able to no longer be a suited candidate to take area in this kind of software!

everyone starts at the bottom and works there way to the top officers and enlisted. Lowest officer rank (not warrant officer) is 2nd LT.
