Man thats super awesome that your leadership was super supportive for you to get through nursing school while active duty. I am in the Army reserves and outside of really 1 senior NCO the rest constantly gave me issues while I have been in nursing school. Good to see you're a fellow service member and black man winning. Btw Go Army Beat Navy.
Yea man I was in a great position to have the leadership I did and I took advantage of it. Did what I needed to do and they never bothered me. I always appreciate the support of another service member. Means alot. Navy will get it next year lol
Thank you for this info! I'm going in as an HM, and I was curious on how to go about it. I'm really nervous for bootcamp, but I'm excited of the amazing opportunities the Navy has in store for me. Also, congrats on earning your BSN!!
You're very welcome. There are so many opportunities to succeeding the military. Just need to know where to look ☺️. Bootcamp is what it is. Go, keep your head down, do what youre told and it will be over before you know it. Congratulations on joining. It's a journey I'm sure you will conquer!
Word of advice. I’m a HN and there is a program where you can get a recommendation to E-4 by being in the top 10% in A-School of the class. TAKE IT SERIOUSLY. Use quizlets, study groups, and practice your labs. If you can obtain that the quality of life is better. E-4 pay, BAH depending on your base. Please do not be a terminal e-3 if you don’t plan on re-enlisting. This might be a bit much to understand but, trust me you’ll find out. You’ll love fort sam. Good luck and remember you 12th general order “don’t piss off your Chief”
@@jjdbzfan18 thank you so much for the advice. I'm going in as an E3 bc I finished my associates in pre nursing and psychology. I'm planning on working hard to build a good foundation for myself and family. I'm just scared of bootcamp lol, but everything else is exciting.
@@wednesday5132 bootcamp is simple. First thing is they’re going to yell and curse a lot the first 2 weeks are going to be fast but, doable. You’ll understand we all started off as boots. You’ll get acclimated real quick. Everything is temporary 8 weeks is nothing. Just listen and find other recruits to help you. The RDC’s are just actors they don’t really dislike you. Don’t count the days just focus on 1 more chow 1 less chow. You’ll understand.
Let me tell you this was the video I was looking for. Being active duty and aspiring to a nursing program can be some what overwhelming. I don’t know where to start. I’m a non rate in the Coast Guard and want to become a BSN before my contract is up. Any advice champ?
Glad the video was helpful. Look up the prerequisites, then start taking those online or at a community college, once those are finished, try to find a nursing school online.
If you speak failure into existence it will happen. While I'm not saying it was easy it was doable. Hard but doable. If the reserves is the way then make it so. Use whatever opportunity life provides you and conquer it no matter the circumstances. Keep pushing ☺️
Hi there! I am considering joining the navy but pretty much have all my prerequisites for nursing school done. What would you recommend I do? I am applying to nursing schools and want to see if I get into any but if I don’t I really would like to join the navy. What job within the military would I be able to do while going to nursing school
If you have all your prerequisites done and trying to get into nursing school, GO TO NURSING SCHOOL FIRST! Once you complete nursing school, then join the Navy. If you join now, it will set you back.
Hey, I'm just coming across your video but how did you find a school that allowed you to take nursing classes online. I am having trouble with that part, I'm active duty and stationed in Virginia
First check your home of records board of nursing to see what school they have that are veteran friendly. They post them on their website. Then check Virginia's board of nursing and see what schools that are veteran friendly and if they are online.
I literally just want to go to nursing school while active duty but I literally don’t even know where to start 💔 I’m active duty AirForce. I want to be a nurse after my four years are up.
Well since you're in AIT right now. That should be your main focus. However to answer your question. There are many ways to go to school while on active duty. Supportive chain of command, an online school, doing prerequisites at a community college, etc. Don't be afraid to go reserves are guard. I'm currently in the reserves and it's working wonders for me and people in it trying to do things. Hope that helps.
Hi I want to continue taking nursing pre-requisites, but I’m having trouble looking for colleges that offer pre-nursing online. Do you have any recommendations?
Apply at 30!! It doesnt matter. I nursing as a civilian and came in Navy at 34! Its definitely a life changer but one of the best decisions i have ever made!
Hello. I’m looking forward to applying to the accelerated nursing program. Did you work as well? If so how did you balance that and the accelerated program?
@@yumiko0017 I did not work. There were about to 17 in the program and maybe 2 people worked. They worked PRN/per diem jobs so they could go when they were free. It’s such a rigorous program so I’m not sure how I would have balanced work as well.

I’m a 6 year enlistee in the airforce. I’m in my 1st year in my contract and I want to earn my BSN. How did you do your clinicals for nursing active duty. Isn’t a chance you may get deployed or TDY while in the nursing program.
There's always a chance of deploying or TDY/TAD while in school. There are usually clauses for when deployments happen. Have to communicate that to your school. Clinicals were all done locally on the weekends.

Is the navy nurse candidate program open to people who want to be in the reserves
I'm 99% sure that the nurse candidate program is for active duty. Check with a medical recruiter for the latest updated instruction for it.
Tbh you will be fine going into any of the branches. The military needs nurses so I know you'll get it. Best of luck to you.
How can I go to RN school while in active duty army I’m in AIT right now any advice how to. I don’t want to go reserve or guard cause living expense.

Hi I want to continue taking nursing pre-requisites, but I’m having trouble looking for colleges that offer pre-nursing online. Do you have any recommendations?
Almost every community college has nursing school prerequisites. I'd start at your local colleges first.
Is there a way to be active duty in the navy and receive a bachelors for nursing?
Yes
I’m getting ready to join the military. Do you have to go to school 🏫 at an assigned base?
No
Currently in an accelerated BSN program and would like to join when I finish in December. What are your thoughts on joining at 30???
My thought are DO IT! No degree has your age on it 😉.
Apply at 30!! It doesnt matter. I nursing as a civilian and came in Navy at 34! Its definitely a life changer but one of the best decisions i have ever made!

It can be any rate
What is direct commissions?

MECP! MAN OH MAN! Absolutely! Message me on IG and let's talk.
I’m a 6 year enlistee in the airforce. I’m in my 1st year in my contract and I want to earn my BSN. How did you do your clinicals for nursing active duty. Isn’t a chance you may get deployed or TDY while in the nursing program.
There's always a chance of deploying or TDY/TAD while in school. There are usually clauses for when deployments happen. Have to communicate that to your school. Clinicals were all done locally on the weekends.
Did u have your ADN before u went to a&m?
No I didn't.
