It is only at Fort Sam in San Antonio. You do not work while you are in the program. You have the possibility of receiving your full salary that you are making when you apply if funds are available from the Employee Incentive Program and your choice of VA sponsors you. It is an MSN program. I am now a funded researcher and we will submit a manuscript for publishing. The clinical aspect of the program for the VA students is in Augusta, GA. You have to pay for your moves but you can write them off on your taxes. Your books, tuition, PDA, and other supplies are all paid for. They are planning to increase the # of VA students in the program per year to 10 if possible. It is a great opportunity and worth the move!

Default New Navy Nurse
I have been an RN for almost 3 years now and will graduate this May with a BSN. I have applied and been accepted in to the Navy Nurse Corps and will go to RI for OIS in July, and be at my first duty station at Bethesda, MD by the end of August. If anyone has any helpful suggestions on how to get along and succeed in the Navy Nurse Corps, or are stationed in Bethesda, I would love to hear from you. Everyone else, thanks for your posts!

I wasn't an officer but enlisted as a hospital corpsman. Treat the HMs right or they can make life hard for you.
I know they'll make you do a hospital tour first thing to make sure you've got all the basics. But going to a ship such as a carrier, you will be like one of two Nurse Corps types at the most. You will be able to get your Surface Warfare Qualifications which really stand out when you go up for LCDR (O-4). O-3 is pretty much a given.
Really prove yourself and they'll send you to school (and continue to pay you!) to get your masters and/or qualifications in other areas (anesthesia, PA, etc.).
Make sure you get the Nurse Corps Sign on bonus first though!
Best of luck!

Nurse New to the board
I just found this board....sweetness! A place to ask military nursing questions- wonderful.

I will graduate in December with my BSN, head to Ft Sam for OBC, get stationed at Ft Hood around summer, and if I am lucky (or not!) jump in with the deployment in the fall to Iraq. Its going to be a fast year.

Ive handled 4 years of ROTC and cant wait to pin on my bars in December. My husband has been in for 9 years and finished Green-to-Gold in 2003. Dual military will be difficult, but we welcome the challenge.

I am thinking I want to specialize in Critical Care- it was one of the few areas I really enjoyed during clinicals.

Only 13 more hours to go...December cant come soon enough.
