Hi, I’m currently a senior in high school. I’ll soon be attending Community College of RI for General Studies (Gen Eds). With my electives I’ll be taking the prerequisites for the RN program at Rhode Island College. Once I graduate CCRI I’ll have an associates in science and all/most of the prerequisites to the RN program at RIC. Then I’ll transfer over to RIC as a junior and finish the RN program then the following year graduating as a senior as an RN with a bachelor’s in science. SO my question is after becoming an RN can I still join the NAVY and still have my degree as an RN/BS? and If I do go to the NAVY, can I go back to school to become a Physician’s Assistant and be in the NAVY?
OK before you answer:
-I have to go to a Community College first because my parents make below 27,000 a year, also I have a very important surgery that I need that will cost 10,000 give or take a couple
-I am looking a grants, and scholar ships but my school is half-ass, and unorganized
-I don’t want to go straight into the NAVY because my friends mother went straight in after High School and is in her early fifties now and just now allowed to go to college and becoming an RN, so I’d rather be an RN first before I go in. Also I have to wait a full year after my surgery until I’m allowed to join, and that sounds like a bad mistake because it will be hard to go back to school and start studying again.
-Also if I join Enlisted I’ll be paid little, and if I join as an Officer I get paid better.
OK so you think I’ll be able to join the NAVY as an RN?
