Is the military a good place to get an R.N degree?

I want too get a nursing degree and become an R.N., is the military a good way too achieve that?

You will have to do your active duty, get out, and go to school on the GI Bill. You cannot possible do anything while on active duty.Even if you are stationed stateside, you can be transferred at any time, there interrupting your education, and having to start anew at a new location.

Yes, Both the Active duty and Reserves (National Guard) offer programs where you can get your degree. With a BSN, You can get a direct commission and become an officer. You certainly can get plenty of OJT in the medical field. Talk to a recruiter. They also offer sign on bonuses.

only if you want to earn very little money, clean toilets and do menial tasks for several years,, go to school and learn the job in the medical school, it will be faster, you will learn more and you will be free to change your mind if it isn't what you want....to get an actual r.n. dgree it would take you many years and to get the same appreciable knowledge and skills, some credits will transfer over but you would still need to do courses to finish an dbecome registered....but don't believe me, believe the recruiter that is telling you this, so he gets his quota.......look up the requirements and ask him when are they met in a timeline, and then see if he can even commit to guarenteeing that the military will even train you,,,,verses putting you somewhere else...and if you still don't believe me then join and write back asking yahoo questions on why you believe people that want something from you over people that ask nothing of you

You have to consider that you will be enlisting and going to school in addition to whatever you job you select or they select for you. It will take longer to get your degree, but the military does pay for your schooling. Also, the deployments are becoming more common and depending what branch you are interested in, they can last from 4 months to 15 months. Your job in the military will always come first and your schooling second. Bottom line, it is a great place to get an education as far as the tuition assistance goes. The down side is that it takes longer and you will also be deployed a few times before your enlistment is over.
