April 2012 ODS?

Hello Everyone

I have been following threads relating to the Navy Nurse Corps for several months. I was pro-rec'ed in November and I found out last week all my paperwork has been completed. I had the good fortune to speak with the detailer the next day. I will be going to ODS 15April and reporting to Bethesda after that. As I began this process almost 2 years ago, you can imagine my relief is only matched by the excitement of beginning this new journey.

I am just curious if anyone else will be in this class, or stationed in Bethesda. I am a true newbie to the military-no previous experience and no family tradition-so any advice or comments are most welcome.

Thank you for any replies.

    I'm headed to ODS in February. It also took me almost two years. I'll be reporting to Portsmouth Navy Medical Center. Do you have RN experience? I have one year psych.

    I'm super excited to move on. I'm coming from Portland, OR-born and raised. I'm not very nervous about things, I suppose I'll be more as it gets closer.

    My flight is scheduled. I'm scheduling the movement of my goods this week. I quit my job and am jump going to spend time with friends and family before I go. Congratulations on making it!

    Congratulations to you also! I am a recent graduate (May 2011). I took the summer off and traveled a bit, and then got a job as a circulating nurse in an OR. My last day is actually this Friday as I am also going home to spend some time with kids and family. I have really enjoyed the OR and although I am going in as a general nurse, I would like to see what the Navy provides for training in perioperative. I am really open to almost anything-except Psych! :) I know psych nurses are needed, so more power to you there! I have had some more non-traditional experience doing medical escorting for a cruise line when employees are injured and have to disembark, but that was only on call, as needed. However, this was how I got my first exposure to the marine lifestyle...love it!
