  1. jagnurse: you also will need to work with a recruiter. With so many applicants I can't predict what GPA they are starting at. I would say that the more experience as a RN that you have the more marketable you will become. The CNA type experience is helpful but won't weigh in too much. They want licensed individuals with experience. But maybe you can get lucky. Can't hurt to try. Just work on the experience part too.
  2. I am interested in NROTC for nursing, but came across an age limit for the Nurse Scholarship Program (23 years old) - I am turning 27 in a few months...am I completely disqualified from this scholarship, or are there any exceptions to this age limit? If the age limit is strict, does that mean I cannot apply for the NROTC nursing program as a whole, or does it just mean I cannot apply for the scholarship only? Worst case scenario, what are the other options for nursing with NROTC and how would/could they be paid for?

    You can still attend ROTC you just can't apply for the scholarship. You can try the NCP Which is the navy nurse candidate program scholarship. If you get that I don't really see a need to attend NROTC with you being guaranteed a commission upon passing NCLEX it will just be extra work.
  4. Thanks for the info - sounds like I have a few more things to talk to a recruiter about!
