First off - I am an enlisted nurse.
That is practical nurse. It is not a bachelors degree.
First you are trained as a combat medic for 14 weeks after you go to basic for 12 weeks. Then you go on for a year more of nursing school. Talk to a recruiter and tell him you want to be a practical nurse. 68WM6 is what it is called. Don't take no for an answer. It's a lot of school but it's worth it.
The key score you must have on the ASVAB to become a practical nurse is a GT score of 110 which I believe is waiverable to 107.
If you have a bachelors degree in nursing you do not need to take the ASVAB to accept a commission as an officer.

You won't be taking an asvab to become a nurse in the army. You will be providing the army with a copy of your Bachelors degree instead.

BSN is a 4-year college degree, ADN is a 2-3 year assiciates degree, both are RNs, which is a state certification.
You don't need to take an ASVAB. You need to go to college, get a degree, then apply for a direct commission (or try ROTC while in school).

Nurses do not take the ASVAB. they are Commssioned Officers and must have a BSN in hand before they are Commissioned.

You should call a US Army recruiter. They will have the answer to your question.
My question is do you have a BSN?
