   So I'm a little surprised by that reply. I have to say it seems like either something was misunderstood on purpose or just completely overlooked. I think I make it pretty clear that the CCRN is not that bad and the only people that fail are those tha...

   So with what you were asking there are minimums, but with budget cuts and the nursing shortage finally being found out to be a myth, here is what you need to know. If you are not in the nurse candidate program, the Navy will not take you right out of...

    Purple_Demon_RN replied to Purple_Demon_RN's topic in Government

    I was professionally recommended in June, and then final-selected in July. The thing is that you can be professionally recommended all day, but you still won't go until you're final selected. I read a guy's post on here that was professionally recom...

    Well I've been final selected now, but I won't be commissioned until October. What's funny about when I made that post is that my recruiter called me that day and we've remained in touch ever since. He actually is a good recruiter and when I call him...
