What is it like being a practical nursing specialist (68C)?

If you search answers for 68c you will see many post for 68C with quite a bit of information.

Start doing college as soon as you graduate if you want to ever get promoted. You’ll graduate with a LPN license from Texas but those hours will not convert to a bridge program for an RN program for you, so if you want to become an RN you’ll need some college. The reason is your AIT does not produce letter grades in the subjects you study and RN programs will not accept any credits that don’t have letter grades.

Be prepared to be a holdover at ft sam for a while before going to your phase II site. I was in the same company with the 68C’s and a lot of them were there for 1-2 months after they graduated from ft sam before shipping to their clinical sites. I was there in October 2019 and it’s pretty chill there. Wasn’t a very high fail rate for most classes so just make sure you study and you’ll be fine. You don’t get to take leave when you’re in IET except for holiday block leave. But how many days leave you get will also depend on your student detachment commander at your clinical site. Message me if you want a day to day schedule. I was just there a year ago. It’s unlikely to have changed that much since then.
