Finally done...and the wait begins

Just wanted to update everyone on my last month of the application process. Well, I had my MEPS physical on Dec. 16. I was actually very surprised that it was not as bad as I thought it was going to be. I guess it was pretty laid back and quick because it was Friday and there was only a handful of us there. I was the only female Officer candidate there and out by about 10:30am. Things went smoothly and I didn't need any additional waivers or work-ups.

I thought the CNO interview was never going to come. I really wanted to have everything done before the New Year. MY INTERVIEW WAS TODAY! It went pretty well (at least I think it did). It started off pretty rough but ended on a nice note. It was laid back, very informative, and helpful. The Lt Col was so nice and sweet. Not intimidating at all. It lasted for a good amount of time, but I received so much from her.

Well, to cut this short...the board meets on Jan 3rd and the estimated decision release date is Feb 24th. So now the wait begins.

    VentcSN,

    Thank you so much. I'm really nervous and anxious even though I try not to show it, lol. I believe it will be so worth it too!Congratulations on you recent graduation. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you too that you pass the NCLEX and get into Navy Officer School. Let me know how the test goes...

    Actually it is the Navy Nurse Candidate Program and I believe my packet went to the board on Dec 9th. So hopefully I will hear something soon. It has been a long process!

    Found out today that I have been professionally recommended, so I am close, but not there yet! Apparently I am not the only one getting impatient, but they haven't yet released the final numbers so the wait continues.... I think on 2/15 it will be one year exactly that I started this whole process!

    Thanks - though I am holding off on the celebrations until I get the definite yes and can take my oath. Graduation is 05/13 - still have a ways to go!
