Veterans

I don't know how one becomes an Army RN that differs from a civilian RN. I was in linguistics not medical and my foreign language and some other training was accepted on a formula for credit equivalency at college. I didn't choose to major in languages and even if I did my Army education would not have got me all the way to a BS degree. Would still have to take all that pesky basic degree requirements, etc. It does sound like a few people did not do their homework and as others stated the requirements of an RN or other licensed medical professional vary from state to state. My advice to anyone wanting to use military training as a springboard to a civilian career is check the end point goal requirements against what the military will provide. Some things get you 99% to where you want to be (technical things like electronics repair, motor mechanic, helicopter pilot, etc.) while others, other than the basic discipline and Can Do of military experience, get you virtually nothing. Always sorry to hear a vet gets let down by the system and it happens to too many too often.
