  2. Basic NECP questions, please help

    Jessica S- I saw the NECP results had come out but I have not taken a look, did you get accepted this year?
  3. Basic NECP questions, please help

    I love being an Air Force nurse!! I work in an inpatient ops (multi-service unit) at JBER, Alaska. I work 15 - twelve hour shifts a month and we get every kind of patient you can image from 12 month old babies to death. We have surgical patients...
  4. Nurse Enlisted Commissioning Program (NECP)-- Help!

    Your husband being a MSgt will help you so much! My husband was a MSgt and he could call AFPC directly to speak with his career field assignment personnel to coordinated our assignment. I love being an AF nurse!!! I think it's completely different ...
  5. Basic NECP questions, please help

    Hello, I just graduated last year, and I was in the NECP during school. 1.) You should try to find a school that is near your current base or close to a base with a medical treatment facility so you will only have one PCS. 2.) When you graduate the A...

  7. Nurse Enlisted Commissioning Program (NECP)-- Help!

    The Army is the only service that allows current officers apply for the Physician Assistant Program. To be competitive for NECP you need to keep up your grades so you can get into a nursing school. My school was really tough, luckily I kept my GPA ...
  8. Nurse Enlisted Commissioning Program (NECP)-- Help!

    NECP is currently for active duty enlisted personnel in the Air Force. NECP is also a nursing program for a BSN. I think you should do the PA program if you are trying to be a Physician because once you become an officer you can no longer do the PA ...

    I will get to Alaska mid April. I am active duty (13 years) and I commissioned through NECP. When I get through COT I will surely answer any questions you may have :-)
  10. Nurse Enlisted Commissioning Program (NECP)-- Help!

    NECP graduates are commissioned as O-1E and I get commissioned in 3 days :-) We are new nurses with no experience so we don't get constructive time towards rank like a civilian nurse with many years working as an RN would. Glad I could help!
  11. Nurse Enlisted Commissioning Program (NECP)-- Help!

    It's ok - what I did was look at schools in the same state because they generally have the same prerequisites. Not always the case. You're going to have to list your schools by top choices and I think you have to have an educational plan on file at ...
  12. Nurse Enlisted Commissioning Program (NECP)-- Help!

    I was in your same situation. When we were in England I decided to just finish my CCAF and do the sophomore level general Ed classes on base. (I.e. english II, statistics, etc). These were really the only classes I could do at the time and I didn't ...

  15. 2012 Air Force Nursing Boards

    Kdazzle, I have not heard of this happening but at least they are having you wait until the next board instead of making you a non select. Are you trying to come in Med-Surg fully qualified or as a specialty? Either way I wish you the best of luck ...
