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!
Hahaha yea, that baby would be a toddler! Yup out first, a boy and we are pumped. It looking right now like baby will bet army by a mile :)
Definitely a big congrats on the baby!!!! Those braxton hicks are like these board results, give you a heart attack!! Enjoy the experience as time flies and then they are talking back and asking for money slowly outwitting you convincing you that there allowance is already accounted for by other things ;-) LOL. Congrats again!!
Congratulations on the baby! What an exciting time for yall! I giggled reading about one eye opened etc.....HOW TRUE THAT IS! Babies are the best, I am sure you have heard it 100X but they grow so fast, cherish every memory. It is hard at young ages because they do steal life from you with taking your sleep but - I promise in the end its WELL worth it! Praying for a happy healthy baby and labor to go well for momma!
My recruiter said the reserve commission list is out and the active duty list should follow later today. Good luck to all.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I HATE waiting
I guess the good thing about having to wait all this time, is it is possible the stress and nerves will keep me from gaining the holiday LB's :) Ive been running like crazy lately to try to keep physically fit but the stress is helping keep weight at bay too I think :)
Hey all thanks for the congrats up all night with the wife so hopefully baby will beat out Army :) good luck to everybody, will post any developments Army/baby :)
My recruiter said the same thing. The reserve commission list is out and the we should hear back about the active duty list before wednesday because of the 4 day weekend.
this is getting unbearable. I want to know something, anything just something.
I know how you feel...so many huge life changes in a short amount of time that are riding on this news. I'm normally a pretty chill person but right now I am really wound up! I hope news comes soon....
