How long after turning in application package to Navy Nurse Corps

Specialties Government

Published

My application package was sent to the Navy Nurse Corps Board for review Nov. 15. Does anyone know how long it will take before I hear if I am selected as a candidate? And how soon I can go to ODS? My recruiter told me I should hear something by Dec...but it is now Nov. 28...I'm just anxious. Thanks!

Hey Purple Demon,

Thank you for replying. Haha, sorry yes I guess I did assume you were a lady, so sorry for that. You know I'm generally not that closed minded but nursing is predominantly women.....i'm glad you joined, we need more male nurses. Ok, so it seems like you actually got in pretty quickly considering. Would you be willing to speak to me by phone. I dont know how you PM on this thing so I could give it to you privately. It would make it much easier. I do wish to know more about the degree of difficulty for the exams though. Please let me know. I will try to figure out how i can PM you.

Purple, do you know where PACU falls for the navy? I've heard some places refer to it as critical care. It's not exactly CC but perhaps you can provide some insight?

Like I told MB last night, the Navy has several subspecialty codes for nurses. There are subspecialty codes for PACU nurses and the subspecialty codes are different from critical care nurses. If you're asking me whether or not the navy has a need for PACU nurses, I'm not sure. What I can tell you is that the navy is spending crazy amounts of money trying to get periop nurses

TNCC is the Trauma Nursing Core Course. It's probably more widely known among ER nurses, given that it is an Emergency Nurses Association (ENA) course: TNCC - Trauma Nursing Core Course
