Hi, folks.
I'm working with someone who was a medic (corpsman) for several years in the military. Now a civilian, and looking to become an LVN, possibly eventually an RN or nurse practitioner.
From a little research I've done, it seems that his corpsman training makes him eligible to take an exam to gain an LVN license.
1. Does anyone have experience or know about this?
2. If he goes this route, would it make getting an RN or eventually RNP more difficult?
3. Does it make sense, given his long-term career path, to get an undergrad degree from UMPI or TESU or Excelsior? He has a lot of time to work on Sophia and/or Modern States right now. (He's presently broke, making MS attractive due to price).
Thoughts appreciated.
