Hi everybody! I was accepted to the NCP in the Navy earlier this year. I graduate in December and the will head off to ODS beginning of 2017. I couldn't find any other recent threads for NCPers, so I just wanted to see if anyone else will be graduating around the same time and going to ODS around the same time as well. That way we'll kind of get to know each other beforehand as well, if we do end up in RI at the same time.
If anyone who is already in the Navy working as a nurse or has gone through NCP as well, do y'all have any advice or tips? The three major duty stations from what I've heard are San Diego, Bethesda, and Portsmouth; what is it like working there and what is the area like? I submitted my duty preference sheet around two weeks ago, how long does it take to find out where I'll be stationed?
Hello! Also accepted to the NCP and starting this winter. I graduate in October and was told I'll probably be heading off to ODS in January- may be in the same class romv3896
Sorry for the delay- for some reason I never got a notification about this. Congratulations to you too! I don't have any previous experience aside from nursing school clinicals (was acutally an English major in my first degree). Excited to hopefully know where I'm headed soon... It's an interesting list of locations. What are you leaning towards?
Does anyone know if you can apply for the NCP if you are enrolled in an entry level master's program? it's a pre-licensure program for non-RNs. Just curious if the NCP is only for undergraduate (even if the grad program is not for advanced practice RN). I applied to ABSN and entry level master's programs, so wondering what my options will be.
Nursing will be my second degree. Do they consider the GPA of your first degree at all? I'm hoping they don't because I was really unmotivated during undergrad (graduated with 3.1), but then turned around to get a 4.0 in all nursing prereqs.
I know this thread is a few months old, but it's the most recent one I could find regarding NCP. Thanks!!

try seeking a recruiter for a definite answer. It never hurts to talk to them. However, make sure you find a medical officer recruiter. If the enlisted recruiters are still pushy be as aggressive with them.
As as far as gpa, yes they calculate all classes. I had taken a college course in high school,completely forgot about it, and my recruiter asked for the transcript. You will submit all transcripts to the recruiter. However, the board will take your first degree into consideration. They will look at everything in your package and base a decision off of it.

Thanks for your response! I'm planning on talking to a recruiter soon, but I heard that they don't want to talk to you until you have at least a letter of admission. I'm still a month or two away from finding out my acceptances.
Yes that's the first thing they ask you. You'll be able to start the process as soon as you find out. The major things that slow your package down are meps, security clearance, and letter of recommendations. If you're set start working on asking you professors for recommendations. I'm meeting with a recruiter Thursday and I can see if there's any new information I can relay.
