Army Nurse Corps acceptance

[sammitate]

Hi everyone, I'm Sam, and I've been a nurse for 3.5 years. I'm wanting to join the ANC as an active duty officer and hope to specialize in critical care. I currently have over 2 years of critical care experience and have my CCRN as well. I'm wondering how competitive it is to get accepted. I've been talking to a healthcare recruiter specifically (I learned early on the regular recruiters redirect you to healthcare recruiters--if you're just starting the process there's my biggest tip) and my recruiter told me he thinks I'm a good candidate. My undergrad GPA was 3.8 and my grad school (FNP) GPA is currently 3.9. What else do I need to be doing to give myself the best shot? As much as I appreciate my recruiter, I'd also like to hear other people's thoughts/opinions. Thanks in advance!

You're easily going to get critical care RN, sometimes they play a game to fill slots and might try to talk you into med surg and say you can move over to icu immediately; don't do it stick to your guns they are just trying to fill a quota; they will make an icu slot for you.
