If you enter the military with BSN, what rank/position do you hold?

I'll assume this a BS in nursing. \n\nAnyone can enlist even though they have a college degree and it doesn't matter what the degree is in. So, you could go in as a private.\n\nTypically, one goes into the Nursing Corps with a BS-Nursing. So, first you go in as an officer candidate to officer candidate school (depending on service). Then you are commissioned as a 2nd Lieutenant. \n\nAlso, even with a BS - Nursing, you can still pick from a variety of jobs, even a pilot if you want. Your choice.

One you have finished your degree - the answer is yes. Every recruiting station has a recruiter designated specifically for Officer Assensions. As a nurse, you will do some minor introductory training in basic military customs and courtesy, and then receive your assignment. Best of luck! (P.S. I have linked the Army's Officer Recruiting site - check directly into the Medical Corps - Nursing for more info).

In the Army NCO rank is E5-E9 (SGT-CSM). Officers start at O1 (Second Lieutenant).The link below is the rank system for all branches of the military.

I would suggest a 2 year RN program at a community college.  I would then complete the BSN while working as a nurse (to make sure you like it) then apply to a CRNA (or other nurse practitioner school if you want to explore other nurse practice opportunities) and work while in school.  That way you are making a fairly good living and working in the field. \n\nThe link below may prove informative. \n\nGood luck!

You deserve an ego boost.  \n\n1) Associates have value\n2) You have 3\n3) You have two related certificates\n4) You are multi-lingual\n5) You're in currently in school for a nursing career\n6) Demand for qualified nurses will continue to drastically increase for the rest of your lifetime\n7) Dependent upon your location/region, there is no reason not to get a job with an annual salary of at least $31 or $32k at the entry rate.  If you perform well, you could be at the market rate within 2-3 years.\n\nReady for the Truth?\n\n1) Associates do not have the power of BS's or BA's\n2) You're all over  the career board without any work experience\n3) You're suffering from a lack of confidence\n4) You don't know where you're going\n\nFixes:\n1) Figure out what you want to do\n2) Figure out a plan to get there\n3) Do it!\n\nGood Luck!

Realistically, it depends a whole lot on who you're stationed with.  My battalion, 2/4, was a rotating Med unit, so about half the time, the grunt companies were training like crazy, the other half, there were classes, inspections, and weapons cleaning.  \n\nThe nice part about being a grunt is that when you're not knee deep in operations or work-ups (to operations), the first sergeants and company commanders are smart enough to let you decompress with the administrative stuff that you do mostly in your room at the barracks or in the company area at the barracks.  It's pretty laid back or it's full throttle, not a whole lot of in between.\n\nHope this helps.

I am enlisted Air Force I think you should, having a occupation that fits the Air force is more important. In nursing for instances you can get direct commissioned. \nHuman resourses, weather, Air way science, computers and Military science are big ones. You should be thinking about a Masters too if you are considering being an Air Force Officer.

Well first you go to Boot Camp (not basic training, big difference), then you go to MCT (Marine Combat Training) and then you go to A-school to learn about your job.  Finally you get stationed somewhere.  I don't know what you mean asking what do you do next.  You do your job and whatever else they tell you to do.

RN = Registered Nurse. \n\nAn RN can be an RN in training but NOT Licensed.  The License is separate and has to be paid for renewal every year or so from the State or Country you live in.\n\nAn RN is trained in 3 different ways.  An Associates Degree, a Bachelor's Degree or a rare 3-year program called Diploma Program.  \n\n2 year = ADN = Associates Degree Nurse\n3 year = DRN =  Diploma Registered Nurse\n4 year = BSN = Bachelors of Science in Nursing\n\nThere is no difference in the Nursing Skills of any of these degrees (when we take our Boards .. the test that we HAVE to pass to BE an RN, we all take the EXACT SAME TEST).  What is different is the filler knowledge.. that additional stuff that makes a "rounded" degree.  Core Classes.. and the rest of the "Stuff'.\n\nYou can be an RN and not allowed to work as an RN when you do not have a License.  All you have to do is pay for the next couple years License fees to renew a license.. no retesting, etc.\n\nYou can go further in being an RN.. a Nurse Practitioner, a Midwife, A Masters degree, a PhD, etc.  These are more specialties.  But they all start off with the basic RN training.\n\nI am an RN, so am intimately familiar with the Process.

In the AF, you'll go to basic just like everyone else for 6 1/2 weeks, then you will go to your technical school where you will get the training to be a nurse or whatever it is you choose to be. Then you get your permanent base and you work at the clinic and get on the job training. If you want to know the specifics, you can talk to a recruiter, or you can go to about.com, I found you a specific page just for medical jobs below.  If you look under your desired job, it will have a description of your duties, tech school locations (where you will go after basic) and how long you will be there(don't count weekends) and a list of possible bases you can get stationed at after tech school.

That is entirely up to you. If you go to WSU, you'll have to pay for tuition. But if You go through the Navy you'll be going through 3 months of intense studying and practice to become a liscence Nurse. After your four year commitment of enlistment, all you would have to do is take the bar exam and find a suitable hospital you would like to work in as a civilian nurse, and with Military experience, that won't be very hard to do. Your pay will also be very very good too in the navy. Better than spending four years in  college, having a loan and debt.

Read the contract.  It states you will receive the training and job posting if it suits the military's needs to do so.  The MOS is no more than a statement of preference.  You are subject to the command structure of the military and will be obligated to do whatever they tell you to do.\n\nSorry.

The military is always looking for nurses to recruit.  (But they don't hire civilian help, if that's what you are asking.)

i joined the military a year after high school.  In my mind it has bettered my future.  I have learned leadership and management skills that most Citizens would pay to have.  Its easier to get a job saying that you retired from the military.  It shows that you come from a background of lots of hardwork, dependability, and that you will get the job done.  Its a great way of life, but not for everyone.  You have to learn to sacrifice your time to take care of others, and that its not all about you anymore.  The benefits are great.  The pay isnt that great unless you are an officer.  But, you can learn to manage your money and put it to use and have a great retirement.  When i get done with the military i wont have to work again unless i choose to.  Id say give it a shot...just dont be a douchebag, do what your told, be where you are supposed to be, in the correct uniform, and dont cock an attitude at your seniors and you will do great.  You dont have to be smart to make it far (on the enlisted side that is).  If you do then good luck, and remember it is only what you make of it...if it sucks then your attitude sucks.\n\n\nAlso served in iraq, now in korea...and education is possible.  Dont listen to what the others say on that issue.  If you are willing to give up some of your "free-time" then you can do it.
