enlisted going to officer as a nurse

Published

Hi all,

does anyone have any info on rank or anything about prior service.

I am applying to a few Direct MDE programs all over the country.

I have 8 years currently and want to know what rank I would have upon commission. I

have a bachelors in Health science and applying to grad school direct NP program in PMH.

any info would be of much help.

been reading the blocks but nothing on prior service and rank placement.

Specializes in ER, ICU.

I was commissioned on an ASN and a Bachelor (non-nursing). I'm not sure if the requirements have changed. That was 2011.

The requirements have changed. It used to be that you could be pursuing a BSN and commission with an ASN, particularly in the Guard.

O1E [your 8 years of service gives the E]

You will be commissioning with zero years working in your field with your level of degree, hence the 01E. Make CPT in 4 yrs it goes by fast

Does anyone have a formula for the ranks?

I have 4 years in National guard as enlisted, getting commissioned as a nurse in Army National Guard or Reserves. Also 1 year of civilian experience on med- surge floor

Any suggestions about the rank?

2LT. One year of civilian nursing experience = 6 months of credit toward rank. You'll probably promote a wee bit faster to 1LT. Enlisted time doesn't count toward rank, but it will help your pay if you served enough to qualify for O-1E pay.
