it depends on which way you want to go. you can go into the navy and they will pay for your education, but you will probably have to give them 2 -4 years stationed on one of their base hospitals. or you can get a 4 year bsn degree and go into the navy as a lieutenant and be stationed possibly where you want. either way you will be able to get government benefits and retire from the service in your 40s or go to private practice doctors offices or hospitals or even get your masters and teach either in or out of the service. hope this helps?

Normally you obtain a bachelor's degree in nursing, then makie application for a commission as a Navy Nurse with the nearest Officer Selection Office recruiter. There is a program for enlisted personnel called the Navy Nurse Education Program (NENEP) where certain enlisted personnel are selected for college training and, once they get their bachelor's degree in nursing, are commissioned as officers in the Navy Nurse Corps. During the time you are attending school you are still on active duty as an enlisted member and you are categorizes as "duty under instruction", with full pay and allowances.

you don't get knowledgeable as a nurse on base. you are able to desire to have the BSN in hand till now you would be conscious for a right away fee. if the army will pay for the degree( and there are a pair of courses available that furnish it) you would be required to pay off that with a minimum of 5 years of provider..and extra like 6 or 8. officers don't have 2 3 hundred and sixty 5 days contracts( in actuality neither do enlisted any further). minimum settlement length is 4 years. and ALL contracts are for a entire of 8 years obligated provider so as that they are able to hold you previous your advert dedication.

If its like other Military careers, the armed forces will be recruiting at the institution that you attend. You can get them to pay for parts/all of your tuiting Through the Montgomery GI bill. It might be harder to become a nurse after you enter the military.
!!!!!!!!!ABOVE ALL the position you receive in the military depends on the NEEDS OF THE BRANCH!!!!!!

Both options are great, but there is also a 3rd and 4th option. Naval reserves, and ROTC, which will prepare you for your Navy career and maybe give you some money for school. Check with your recruiter or send a question to:

To be a nurse in any branch, you first have to have a nursing degree. Then you can be a commissioned medical officer.

It's normal to get your degree first. Note that it must be a BSN; they don't use Associates' Degree nurses.
