Hey everybody, I'm starting a thread here for those applying to the Army Nurse Corps in FY2013. I figure this might be a good place to get to know other future nurse corps officers and a place for the veterans of the ANC to pass on some advice.
Share your story and hopefully we will meet down in San Antonio this Winter/spring of 2013
Ill start with my story,
I am a 28 y/o critical care nurse with 2 years experience in a level 2 trauma center in Virignia. I passed MEPS at Ft. Eustis and have submitted security packet, letters of reference and letter of intent.
I am applying to the October review board for Active Duty Army Nurse Corps for the 66H8A(critical care) and 66T(trauma) programs( I am not sure if they are still running this one, but you don't get what you don't ask for).
I am happily married with a baby on the way, my wife is 100% behind a move the Army and I feel blessed to have her love and support.
The road to the Army has been a long one with a degree in Biology, stint as a drug rep and return for an Accelerated BSN.
I love being a nurse and love working in critical care. I hope to serve my country in uniform treating service members & their families at home and in forward deployed units.
I want to be an critical care nurse and officer in the U.S. Army and I hope that I will get to meet all of you in uniform at BOLC, at MEDDAC, CSH or FST in CONUS or OCONUS.
Here's to all us achieving our dreams of becoming Army Nurses!
Yaaaay lizard mommy! Hopefully I will get off OML nod join you on ad, but I'm happy to be selected and have a reserve commission
With all the people awaiting waivers that I have seen, There may be some spots opening up sooner than later. Not to mention all the people getting ready to retire through out the year.

I hear you, I am just happy to be able to wear the uniform as a soldier and officer. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!
Just for a little inspiration for those of you selected, to keep pushing. And for those of you not selected, keep pushing because it isnt over until it's over.
Wait for scrolling. Sometime after you are scrolled, you will get orders cut, dating your training and first duty station. So basically waiting on scrolling. From what I seen and heard from recruiter, there was only 1 or 2 that were able to commission immediately because they were commissioning as 2nd LT. Anyone commissioning at a higher pay crade, or with waivers has to wait most likely till after the holiday, and stuff will get rolling. the scrolling could take from 30-90 days
Did I mention how jealous I am that you guys got results?
You will find out VT. Sucks to be in your situation over there. I do have a question, if you are accepted, will you just pcs back stateside, or do you attend the school TDY, and then back to Germany.
