BSN = 4 year bachelor's<a href="http://www.lpn-programs.com/?s=degree"> degree </a>= college graduate. You need this to be an officer. All you need to be a corpsman is to have graduated high school. We'll train you as an LPN, basically. You can even earn your BSN if you work your @ss off after hours...plenty of people do. Talk to your local recruiter: they'll have all the answers!
