Army Nurse

You need to talk to a healthcare recruiter, there is usually only one per major city. You can google Army healthcare recruiter to locate the one that is closest to you and then contact them. You do not need to take the ASVAB to join as a nurse corps officer. That is for enlisted only, you are likely talking to a regular enlisted recruiter.

Is ASVAB needed to be a Nurse Reserve? I have BSN too... Did you get the signing bonus? Thank you!

Is ASVAB needed to be a Nurse Reserve? I'm an RN with BSN. May I know how long is the minimum contract? Thank you!

No. No nurse in any branch takes the ASVAB whether they be guard, reserve, or active.

The minimum contract is always 8 years; people actively drill different portions of that time. You might actively drill for 6 years and be on a non-drilling call-up list called the inactive ready reserve (IRR) for the other 2 years.

Thank you so much! I heard from a Youtuber who is still in the service that his contract is only 2 years. Probably that was a few years ago..Probably this year it's 8 years. Thanks a lot!

All contracts have been 8 years for quite awhile. The youtubers contract could be for a bonus.

We have one per state and sometimes not even that, lol.

Hello! I am also an RN with a BSN who is looking into the Army. Is there an army nurse who is willing to talk to me about army nurse life? Is the 8yrs with student loan repayment or ROTC?

Sign on bonuses are only available for certain specialties: ICU, OR, etc. Like everyone has mentioned, talk to a healthcare recruiter for your area. Good luck!

Before I got my BSN i went to a regular army recruiter and they tried to sign me as a medic... aka EMT. you must go to a HEALTHCARE army recruiter, otherwise they will try to sucker you out of using that degree just to get numbers.

Hi Spring, I was interested in processing as a 66S Army Reserve RN, I'd love to pm you but unfortunately it will not allow me. One of my biggest questions I wanted to ask someone as yourself directly was if I joined as a Critical Care RN, and let's say in a year or 2 wanted to attend crna school full time, I would continue to drill etc, but was wondering if they would then accommodate a new contract for a crna in the reserves?
