Can you help me with this doubt

Can you help me with this doubt?
Hi: I came from Nicaragua and we have different education system than USA does. But, everything that I did in 5 years in my last High school (in my country) was equal to 1.40 GPA...... When I came, I met the requirements to become a Senior... So, I began to attend to the high school like Senior in 2009. I had to go to the high school to improve my GPA in 2009..... I got really good grades, I just got 3-C, 3 - A, and 2-B , 1 - B-. Now my GPA is 1.80.... I DON"T KNOW WHY!.... I found out that my GPA was going to be something like 2.10 in this year with those grades I got. I will attend again to the High school to get better GPA.... But, I will not have good GPA to attend to any college and my dream is to become a nurse..... So, I decided to go to the military because they will pay my education..... but..... my GPA will not be enough to get in to college..... So, the next question is: Does the military teach you nursing without attending to any college to become a certificated nurse in their own college? What can I do to get my degree through the military? Now I have to decide what to do with my life.... I don't want to work at Honda making car for all my life!... I want to get my degree, master and PHD. PS: I am so sorry for my English.... My national language is Spanish.... Have a nice day :)

With a situation like yours I'm not quite sure if military is your best bet. There are many nursing schools here in the U.S that do not even require a high school education. In fact many colleges allow enrollment without high school diploma, some just a GED. No the military is not a college, although they have college programs for active duty personnel. I am not 100% sure about your situation but the military is a little more competitive than some nursing schools and with your nationality that might be a problem. Talk to a recruiter dont take my word for it -Good luck to you.
