My daughter did this job (MOS 68C) and within two weeks of completing her enlistment she had a job at a large hospital doing the same job as she did in the Army. She makes over $25 an hour and she's also in college to get her RN, it's a great job!
Probably one of the best careers you can easily transition to in the civilian world. I got my LPN/LVN for free, I worked in case management I loved it, I worked remotely from home never seen a patient. Made 70k my first year with paid healthcare insurance dental, benefits+. Mon-friday 5-9 type job, I since graduated in dec 2020 as an RN. I transitioned in 1 year. So worth it, but it’s not for everyone it’s a very hard program.
I an thinking about joining the reserves(I am prior service btw) as a 68C and my goal is to do what you just described, anyway I can get some more info from you?
I agree. I was a Nuke in the Navy and this is a great field. I've talked to a lot of people about this as a way to get the military to pay for medical education. I laid out a plan for someone to use this as a stepping stone to go on to any level of medical education even Medical Doctor.
I was a WAC in the 60's and then used my GI educational benefits to become a civilian LPN. Having married a career Sargeant I used that LPN at many duty stations but was honored to work at BAMC - learning so much more than I ever did in school. Guess I did it backwards, but at 74 y/o I have a lifetime of memories. Best of luck to all 68Cs
Important mention you have your license, Army I believe is the only branch where you can take the NCLEX to get licensed. All other branches I don't believe you can. Any military training, unless you have the civilian equivalent certificate, will not be recognized as valid training, and completion in the civilian world.
Civilian schools depending on the school, expect you to fail, my school had an attrition rate of 50%, or we had four groups for the first two quarters, then were jam packed together for the last two quarters. If they don't have so many nurses pass the NCLEX, then they lose their licensing for training nurses.
@@alyciabagwell9633 I would say military training is better, because you also can do a lot more versus civilian side, as the military doesn't have to worry about liability and being sued. Also the military wants you to pass, and not fail. A couple veterans I think failed out of the program, and they just wanted your money, if they could find a way for you not to pass, they would, a couple people flat out ran out of money for the tuition.
The AIT for 68C is 2 years long and the attrition rates are nowhere near 50%. Once he Soldier graduates Basic Training the attrition rates are no more than 10%. I served 26 years in the Army as an 11H/BB4 and spent a few years in USAREC and, my oldest daughter served as a 68C and it wasn’t beyond her abilities. If the Soldier has a lower IQ and reading comprehension problems as well as difficulty with basic math, it’ll require them to spend more effort than other students but they’ll make it, the instructors are there to graduate students, not kick them out, it’s a huge waste of government funds to just kick people out. My daughter completed her tour of service and got a job 2 weeks later and worked in the same clinic but as a civilian contractor and makes $31 an hour and is almost done with her RN degree that her GI Bill pays for and they give her a monthly stipend check of around $1,500 a month for living expenses. So if someone is qualified for this MOS (job) you’d be wise to join.
When if you’re already an RN with a bachelors degree, ICU experience wanting to join as an officer? Ain’t trying to go back to school unless it’s for higher edu lol
Same thoughts but how about for those green card holders? Hahaha still need to wait 180 days to apply for a citizenship. Am I like a god to those enlisted who will pursue this Mos lols.
It said you could possible be deployed to a combat zone but youll probabky be in a field hospital helping soldiers who got blown uo. So you will not be running into combat and gettimg them the 68ws will take the patients to you.
@@howard19 but can you still practice range if the surroundings ain't that critical or whatsoever? Or is it just my question that's dumb, that all military branches need to practice range (shooting)?
What if I'm an RN (Bachelors in Nursing) and want to pursue between 68C and 68W. Do I still need to undergo ait? Since I already know what are the things they'd so 😂 advance.......
There are plenty of upgrade programs to quickly transition you to RN that the GI Bill would pay for. Also I imagine if you can build up to two years of college credit with classroom study, not distance learning, the Army will send you to RN college and commission you. At least the Navy has that program so I assume the Army would have it.
@@saraifigueroa4790 You have to apply for it, it's not instant. I know this because a buddy of mine just got his citizenship last week (not even kidding) after 2 years of service
But what they don’t tell you is. If you fail any part they reclass you. To the needs of the army. And your a nurse but your enlisted. Which is bogus In if it’s self get licensed on the civilian side and have the military pay for it. Is my advice
At Fort Lee, I met a freakin' DIVER that got injured, in the middle of her A.I.T. and she was forcibly reclassed to become a COOK of all things! P.S. At Fort Lee, it looked like half the trainees were 92Gs.

Subtle fact, the Eisenhhower AMC is still being constructed. Pictured here is Beaumont hospital :)
This mixed in with being Special Forces and a Delta Force Trooper!
Huh?
When graduating and receiving the LPN
License, can it be transferred to civilian Nursing jobs ? I’m currently a reservist trying to reclass.
This is the best mos in the world !! I hope I get the cut off mark in asvab 🙏
You got the job yet?

does this mean LPN training is better at a civial school or worse? I didn't understand your comment.

Currently enlisted reservist. What nclex does a 68C take? I’m a LPN certified in NY civilian side. I’m wondering the process if I decide to reclass
Nclex is the same
Wait, is that really Robby Boyd?
I can’t wait to reclass to this mos! Probably 3 more years till I can tho! 💪🏾🇺🇸

Army Recruiter in your area
Do I attend the full length of AIT if I am already an LPN?
I don’t think so, I’m pretty sure after Basic you’ll go straight to your unit
@@dragonballs4143 no he will have to learn the field nursing part…..that is not taught on the civilian side.

Hi, can trainings for this MOS receive credit for the courses in college's BS in biology? Thanks
It depends on the institution. Some institutions don’t offer credits for experience at all.
Just a question :
*Do the 68C have to go into combat? Like are they exposed to war and getting killed?*
ᴤʟᴇᴇᴘʏ ᴄʜᴇɴ this is one of those mos that will basically never see clmbat
Watch the old tv show mash. Its pretty similar to what nurses who deploy do
UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM you betcha. Ever heard of a Combat Surgical Hospital?
It said you could possible be deployed to a combat zone but youll probabky be in a field hospital helping soldiers who got blown uo. So you will not be running into combat and gettimg them the 68ws will take the patients to you.

I go in two weeks to do this after Basic
What if I'm an RN (Bachelors in Nursing) and want to pursue between 68C and 68W. Do I still need to undergo ait? Since I already know what are the things they'd so 😂 advance.......
If you have a BSN you can be an officer. You don’t have to do AIT, only BCT. Talk to your local recruiter.
Same thing I am saying
No if you have bsn you can go in as officer . 68C would be better 68W is medic job.
commission as an officer to be an army nurse
So this starts you as an LPN, then you go on to RN in the civilian sector?
N. P. Still an LPN on the outside
There are plenty of upgrade programs to quickly transition you to RN that the GI Bill would pay for. Also I imagine if you can build up to two years of college credit with classroom study, not distance learning, the Army will send you to RN college and commission you.

Can you reclass to this as an E-5
Warren Freeman yes
can you take your fam with you for this ait training? since its almost 1 yr long
I think if you are married yes from what I was told
Was that ROBBY BOYD!?
Grae Bollinger it is I
OH MY GOD NO WAY!! THAT'S THE ROBBY BOYD?!?!
How long is the contract obligation?
Back in the mid-2000's they were doing some 4-year, though I believe it's 6-years nowadays.
