Gonna try going back in as a navy nurse!

HI,
So, i have officially decided that I am going to talk to a navy officer recruiter to try & go back to the navy (prior enlisted). The only problem is that I got a medical discharge from the reserves for anxiety. That issue is completely resolved & i hope with determination & the waiver process that I will be able to once again serve my country. I miss the navy so much & am excited about this prospect! Wish me luck!
OOH RAH!

I don't think it will be a problem, but you will need a waiver. Take a letter from your provider/psychologist/psychiatrist etc. stating how this is no longer a problem etc. That way you can ask for a waiver right off the bat and speed up the process.

Re: Gonna try going back in as a navy nurse!

thanks! yes, i will def ask for a waiver immediately. i'm truly excited & hope that i'm not dissappointed. needless to say, it's worth the effort.
i just found out that 2 of my very good friends, who are married, are considering being commissioned as well! they wouldn't be nurses but still I'm thrilled for them!
God bless you all!

Re: Gonna try going back in as a navy nurse!

I have 5 years prior active duty in the Navy and would love to go back in after I get my BSN. The only thing is that I've been out 10 years and I'm 38 years old. I read somewhere about an age waiver if you're able to retire by the age of 55. Otherwise, the age cut off for the Air Force is 47 and I have that in writing. I miss the Navy, though!! My husband just retired with 27 years (yes, he is a bit older than me)
