After your phase 2 68C AIT, will you be allowed to choose a duty station or do you remain in your phase 2 duty station?

You will get orders shortly before graduation. If you don't have medical experience, start with the basics. Basic anatomy and physiology, etc. NCLEX: your program will have you pretty much ready for NCLEX by that time. But if you're looking for extra study help, uworld is a great app to help. ASN: if you're active duty, it's going to be difficult. Try community colleges in your area. BSN bridge programs: I got my RN at a CC, and my BSN from Grand Canyon University in Arizona. Good luck! It's a great MOS to be a part of.

No, you don’t get to pick a location. You’ll receive your assignment in Phase 2, wherever the Army needs you. When it’s time to reenlist you can choose a new location

The Army will chose where you go for phase 2. If you grad from 68C you should have no prob with Boards. As far as an ADN program. It will all depend on where you want to go to school, check with the program. If you don't have your support courses done you may want to work on those. There are many options out there check first, double check and recheck. Nursing programs have a tendency to frequently change a requirement without any notice (just FYI) Best of luck to you.

One other thing, if you are interested in continuing your nursing education past LPN, look into the Army Enlisted Commissioning Program (AMEDD). Contact a local AMEDD recruiter. They can give you more details on the program. Good luck!
