Associates Degree in Nursing; will the Navy help?


After visiting the SOCNAV site and looking at the colleges there, Will the Navy help me get an Associates Degree in Nursing if I attend one of colleges under the SOCNAV college list?
~Currently a "depper", ship date 4-09-08, rating hospital corpsman.~
*Any information will be appreciated.*

Also, I'm talking about one to two year(s) into my Navy career...not right after RTC or A school.

yes they should beable to help you . as long as the school you are going to takes the G.I. Bill then you shouldn't have any problems. make sure that if they do take the G.I. Bill that you talk to the school VA rep so they can get all tha paper work you need.

GREAT! Report It

Once AD you will qualify for Tutition Assistance, this will pay for a certain number of credits per year (I believe it is 16 per year). Once you go past that amount you will need to pay for it yourself. And it doens't cover the cost of books. You won't be able to use the GI BIll right away as you have to put the original money into it ($100 per month for the first 12 months of your contract) and you have to have served a certain amount of time.

You should actually get some instant credits for doing some of the schooling with the Navy. My dh was able to get 32 right away from all the classes he had taken.

I believe there is something else that can help you as well, but I'm not sure of the name.

This accurate type of information is unavailable on Yahoo Answers.

You must visit with, or telephone your hometown military Recruiters for the very latest information. (A visit is best when getting your information.)

Right now, start making a list of all the questions you can think of. When the time comes, take your list of questions with you to the hometown military Recruiter and "pick their brain" to ensure all your questions are answered.

Also ask what types of high school courses you would also need to graduate high school, which would be to your advantage for your potential future job, when enlisting in the military.
