new Army Nurse going Landstuhl, Germany

hey SusanneCollins13, just found out that i won't be going to oblc and landstuhl this year. I'll be going to oblc march 29 and then to landstuhl after. too bad! i'll have to see you in landstuhl when i get there around june i guess.

Hi, I am just currious to know when you all got selected and commissioned then got your orders. I am looking for a time line.

I was selected as CPT and commissioned into IRR on 23 June. I was tole I wouldn't hear anything for probably 2 months. But I still have not heard from a secutiry clearance investigator? Should I expect to hear from the investigator or not?

Is it different because you all are coming from school in the ROTC program?

I want to plan things for my family and myself, just hoping to get any information. Thanks.

SusanneCollins13, i will be praying for you!! and I hope your obc date will not be moved!! but we can always meet up in landstuhl...maybe work in the same unit?? who knows? LOL. Did you know they changed the Nursing Residency Program from 12 months to 6 months now?? hmm...just wondering...what unit would you like to work in? I'm really interested in ER and ICU but wouldn't mind working med/surg. Although I love kids and babies...no thanks! too much for me to deal with. LOL.
but in the meantime, i'm trying to get a job...i hope someone will hire a new grad nurse. the job market is tough!! yikess.
i was asked to be a gold bar recruiter until march but i turned it down cuz i wanna work as a nurse. i think i got this one job, but fingers crossed!
One of the LT's who graduated in my school was supposed to attend obc on oct. too but they moved her date to feb. instead. However, they are letting her go to Madigan (her duty station) first in oct. and then go to obc when feb. rolls in. I tried asking for that, but my nurse counselor said no b/c they don't have enough preceptors. boooo, but what can you do?

Renee4Christ, good luck!! i hope you get in! What program are you going through for the ANC? i went through rotc. But yes, a lot of ppl are getting their obc dates delayed b/c there are too many ppl and limited amounts of space. i was supposed to attend obc on july 14th but i couldn't go b/c i was taking the NCLEX on july 15th. you have to take the nclex and pass it before you can go. but oh well. things happen for a reason. at least i can still stay with my family for some time before i move overseas.

Security Clearance usually takes a little while. However, none of my family was ever contacted and when my security clearance were ready I was called to the office to just sign the statement that I will not talk about important stuff. I was with AECP Program and my Security clearance took about four month. However, I lived all my life in Germany so that might have been a factor for it to take that long.

You are still in the timeline they proposed it would take, so I would not worry to much. I would wait to middle of September and then check back with the authority that handles your Security Clearance.
