I am a prior service Nurse Corps Offcer (O-3) who resigned commision. Now, 44 yo finishing FNP post masters what am I qualified for if I am granted an age waiver? IE Bonuses/tuition student loan payments/Rank?
How is this different from regular Navy NC service vs “Marine Corps Nurse Sevice”?

I am Schuyler Glahn, I’m 17 from Owensboro Kentucky. I am very interested in the Marine Corps, and i was hopeing to find a medical based job within the Corps. My grandfather was a medic in the U.S. Army in Korea and i very much would liek to follow in his footsteps. However, I want to step it up and join the best of the best. Is there any type of feild nursing jobs, jobs kind of like a civilian E.M.T would do or are the nursing jobs all based in a feild hospital? I have been doing intence physical training for teh past two years in preperation for teh Corp, but only recently have I decided on a job path to take once enlisted. I also plan on becoming an Officer after getting college sufficiant credits, which hopefuly would make me elligable for a wider range of jobs, but I am not sure on the way things work entirely so a reply to this letter with some information on the subject would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely: Schuyler Glahn

Ive been here in the states since 2003. I finished my associates degree in nursing here also and currently working as a registered nurse in the hospital. i only have a working visa. i am not a us- citizen nor i have a green card. am i qualified to join or do i need to have at least a green card or a bachelor’s degree?


military dot image arin    Thumb up 2 Thumb down 1

Cris, your education shouln’t be a problem. if you don’t meet schooling requirements then the military may likely pay for you to finish your degree.
Not sure about the citizenship requirement. I was under the impression citizenship was required but someone informed me otherwise. The best way for you to be sure is to contact a recruiter and ask him directly.

I was wondering, in order to become a Nurse for the Marines, do you have to go through all the stuff that regular Marines do? Because Im not sure if I could do that. But I am currently in the beginning of my schooling for nursing, but would like to serve my country as well.


military dot image Tom    Thumb up 3 Thumb down 1

My father served in Korea as a civilian under the Marine Corp nursing program. I would like to know more about this program, he was shot down and a sole survivor of 9 in the crash. He has been fighting for a pension after years in both the Air Force and Army. He has other service related injuries, and should have recieved a medical discharge. It has now been 7 years and still no answer. I would love to know if there were any other non-service member nurses in Korea.

Do the Marines have their own nursing, or is it just through the Navy? If so, where can I find more information on Marine/Navy Nursing?

Thanks, Keegs.

Every Marine goes through boot camp no matter what your MOS will be after. You have to go through basic training that’s why it is called BASIC training. every marine also goes to SOI (school of infantry) some go through a shorter version depending on your MOS.

My passion is to become a nurse. What better way to give back to this country than to heal our Military men and women.
I currently work for local government and about to get my BA degree in business. I’ve been trying to look for schools who offer nursing training, but of course I would be a beginner and most of these schools require an LVN or RN. Any suggestions?


military dot image Alex    Well-loved. Like or Dislike: Thumb up 6 Thumb down 0

If you become a nurse and decide to join the Marines you will not be able to practice your profession because the Marines do not have a medical field. Marines utilize the navy for all their medical needs since technically the Marines are a Department of the Navy. So if you decide you want to be a nurse for the Marines you will be joining the Navy taking care of both Marines and Sailors. If you are a Marine or Sailor you can apply for the Medical Enlisted Commissioning Program where they will send you to nursing school for 3 years and become an Ensign upon completion. I am currently an Active Duty Marine participating in this program and upon completion i have to switch over to the Navy. During the program you get full pay and benefits and may use military gi bill benefits to pay for school.

Hey ya’ll i am really thinking about being a nurse for the Marine Corps/Navy Courses. I am still enlisted in school as a Sophomore but i am taking a lot of interest in being a nurse, I have always wanted to be a nurse since i was little and I also have friends and I used to have family in it so I was thinking why not be there for the people who serve us? So i thought of being a nurse for them! I need way more information about this choice and i was wondering if anybody could give me that… if so you can reach me at shelby_laastad@yahoo.com

military dot image Patricia Pickett    Thumb up 1 Thumb down 0

I have been a nurse for 22 years. I am very good at my job. I am highly confident and I am looking for a new challenge. I know I am well past the 29 year old cut off date for enlistment at 47 years old. However, I am also aware that under certain circumstances a waiver can be allowed. I am looking for that waiver. I am divorced and my children are all adults. I can devote my every waking moment to the Corp. It is what I desire to do. I need this and I would be an extremely valuable asset to the corp. It would be a huge mistake on your part to dismiss me due to my age. I expect to hear from you forthwith.

Sincerely,

Patricia Oickett

military dot image 2nd year BSN    Thumb up 1 Thumb down 0

everyone who joins the US military must go through boot camp regardless of age or rank. This is where everyone learns the meaning of teamwork and how to be both a leader and follower. it is much harder for those who are non-us citizens to join due to the increase of actual citizens applying in the many branches. I myself plan on joining as soon as I am finished with my college. Being a graduate of BSN is completely different from just a regular RN your are train in all fields pertaining to a nurse. Joining the military is not for the faint of heart especially the marines. There they WILL break you to make you fit to barre the marine name. As for the age aspect of the military the younger the better. even if get a wavier you will not be excuse from PT otherwise they will remove you. but the older CNA or RN may apply as a nursing instructor. if there are further questions please just post and i will try my best to answer them. remember your are not in the Marines you ARE a MARINE

You have to have your bachelors degree in nusing before you can work in any branch of the military’s nurse corps. you have to have recieved the bachelors degree from a school that meets that branch’s requirements. Once you have your bachelors degree you can enlist and you will be automatically sent to officer’s training and be an officer in the military.
