Published

Processing my Army Nurse Corps reserve application right now and go for my physical next week. Just wanting to know...

1. How long does the physical take (hours)? I know it starts at 06:45...

2. What should I wear to go to the physical?

3. What is involved with the initial military physical?

so i'm in the hotel waiting to go to MEPS tomorrow am and i'm freaking out a little! any encouraging words of advice out there?! i am so nervous about the whole military decision now i can't think straight on whether this is just new and scary or if it's not the right decision! i know it won't be so bad but right now i'm pretty nervous about it. i don't want to keep on with the process if i'll be too scared to follow through! anybody else this nervous or is that just me...?

I was worried about my physical because I still needed to loose some weight. Because of my anxiety my blood pressure and heart rate were high. After the technician made me laugh with small talk and jokes my BP and HR went down.

Try to think of or instead write down your pros and cons. What made you decide on the military, what are you nervous about? You will be fine!

so psyched!! my recruiter received my offical nurse corps reserve packet today and my physical is next week. i think figured out what I am going to wear to the physical, nice but casual for comfort. Cami with a nice dressy pull over fall sweater, neat, clean cut blue jeans, some leather oxford clarks and some sort of simple matchng accessory. I think we will do more than the physical and will tour the base. so i figure dress for comfort and the possible chill outside.

no nerves yet. my honey, when i told him my packet was in the mail. he was sooo supportive and sweet, so excited for me that i am finally going to live this dream of mine :)
