I am originally from San Diego, California. Joined the military after high school. Got married. The military sent me to nursing school to become an Air Force Nurse. Life is good!

  1. Hi! :) As for tips on the whole process, the most important thing (as far as nursing school goes) is getting into a nursing program. Sounds obvious, but if you get selected for NECP but are waitlisted at a school or end up with no school to go to, yo...
  2. Yeah OB is what I put in for...I love it (should be finding out soon if I got it and where I am going after I graduate). I am starting my final semester next week...I go to Univ of MD Baltimore (now called UM, Founding Campus) and I graduate in May. ...
  3. Hi briannamurph! :) When you are going into your last semester of nursing school, you will get an email from AFPC asking for your base preferences and your nursing track of choice. The choices for new grads are either medical-surgical (medsurg) or ob...
  4. AF Nursing competitive, but NTP still exists?

    Hi! Just wanted to let you know that NTP is actually 11 weeks long in the Air Force (I am in NECP now, just starting my second semester of nursing school). You go to COT (officer training school) for six weeks, then to NTP once you graduate COT (of ...
  5. Hi kwolfe01! :) I was a dental lab tech for 13 years before I was accepted to nursing school and NECP, so no, you don't need medical experience. The most I had was that I was a SABC and CPR instructor, and while I worked in the dental clinic, I worke...
  6. Hi eagles01! I am going through the program right now (first semester of it). It is hard! There is a reason that the AF sends us and doesn't make us work while we are here; you don't have time to do anything except go to school and study. I am marri...
  7. Hi loveMI! I have some answers to some of your questions. First, UMSL is no longer a compatible school for NECP (they just changed their BSN program to 2.5 years, and NECP's cutoff is two years). As for online classes, NECP will accept online class...
  8. Hi! sorry for the delayed response (I haven't been on here in a bit, nursing school keeps you really busy). UMB accepted all of my classes, but the only ones I took online were stat, government, sociology, and a few humanities classes. I didn't take...
  9. Hi! Shady Grove is in Rockville, which is about an hour southwest of Baltimore on a map (I have never been there so Google Maps is all I know from). I think that UMB's Baltimore campus has clinicals in Baltimore, but I am not sure since I am going ...
  10. Hi! That is the tricky thing, finding a school that is completable in two years or less. You will have to drive from UMB to College Park, but you won't have to take ROTC classes there (or at all). You will report there if you don't want to take le...
  11. Hi! If a school's program is three years, then that is pretty much set in stone, so no, I don't think you can ask them if you can take three at a time. I tried to ask a few schools last year if I could double up a semester or take them during the s...
  12. Hi thenameismac! Usually community colleges don't offer Bachelors degrees. If the school says that nursing is a four-year program, that usually means that you complete the first two years of general ed classes then start the nursing program, hence ...
  13. I sent it to your inbox. :)
  14. Yep! NECP is Nurse Enlisted Commissioning Program. Officers can't apply. You are an officer once you graduate and pass the NCLEX, of course. :) You will see once you join that us military people LOVE acronyms too. :)
  15. Hi! I was told that the military won't accept University of Phoenix's degrees for commissioning, so I would email Mr. B and ask on that one. Try Grand Canyon University too. You will have to check on their tuition, though. I was accepted this yea...
