48 years cutoff for the Army. That's with all the waivers. There is definitely a need for Nurse Practitioners but age is also a discriminator. I should know because I commissioned as an RN at the age of 39 :)
The best to explain the supply and demand for RNs in the Reserve component (and National Guard, as well as Regular Army) is the AMEDD Journal: http://www.cs.amedd.army.mil/AMEDDJournal/OctDec2011.pdf Check out the graph on page 85.
# of beds sounds a little on the OPSEC side but who am I to judge? If any of my friends goes to my Facebook page, they would hardly know I am an RN, and an Army RN one at that. You just never know who's listening.
If I were to go into Psych I would probably choose Dominion. Let me ask you another way: if money were no object, would you rather go to Georgetown, George Mason or PG Community College?

I wish you guys the best of luck! I have always been impressed by Georgetown's Nursing program. Remember that they also have their Pre-Med option available to Nursing majors.
