1. FY2020 Army Nurse Corps

   Spring624 replied to ReconMedic's topic in Government

   That is correct. It took forever. To be honest drill is not what I expected. Unless you have a task or assigned duty, there’s not much for you to do. And flip side of that is until you go to BOLC you can’t be assigned or volunteer for additional duti...

2. FY2020 Army Nurse Corps

   Spring624 replied to ReconMedic's topic in Government

   I have been drilling with my unit since 12/18 and am just now getting to go to DCC in September. If no prior service you will attend the 28 day course, with prior service the 21 day course. According to my unit’s training NCO, we are no longer able ...

3. Army Nurse

   Spring624 replied to kingjames06's topic in Government

   To be honest I don’t know. I’d recommend finding a good AMEDD recruiter & asking them or someone who has actually tried this. Where are you out of? If it’s OK or Texas I have a couple I could recommend.

   I commissioned May 2018 & received orders in November. They’re coming. It just takes awhile. Lol

   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!

6. Army FY 2019

   Spring624 replied to msnapper's topic in Government

   I never received a template from my recruiter; all he told me was for it to be no longer than a page. I based my statement off of the Army’s values & how I exhibit them or have experienced them in my life. good luck!

   So I’m not finding much information on what to expect when I go to DCC in September... any insight would be appreciated

8. Downsizing Military Medicine

   Spring624 replied to PMHNP Man's topic in Government

   Talk is talk. My unit has new med-surg nurses coming every month I’ve been there, (& supposedly they’ll reduce their numbers first) so until it’s actually implemented & your packet looks good there’s always a possibility. Good luck to you!

9. Reserve Bonus

   Spring624 replied to OUxPhys's topic in Government

   I guess I had thought that during BA we would be training or working on skills that may need to be utilized if/when deployed. I understand that this was the last commanders view as well but with a new command comes a new perspective & technique. ...

10. Downsizing Military Medicine

    Spring624 replied to PMHNP Man's topic in Government

    The little bit I’ve heard & read is that it’ll be a force reduction of 10-15k. They will fill the spots with civilian workers. Their drive will be focused on building the ICU, OR & CRNA numbers. There doesn’t seem to be a lot of information ...

11. Reserve Bonus

    Spring624 replied to OUxPhys's topic in Government

    To be honest it’s different than I expected. Not bad just different. You will get out of it what you put in. You have to be a go getter or you’ll miss the opportunities. (You have to look for them.) & there’s some really awesome people to meet. L...

12. Army Nurse Corp Reserves advice/input on experience 2016

    Spring624 replied to RayRN87's topic in Government

    I hear that. It is a lot to accomplish. Good luck with it. Every drill weekend I learn something else that I need to have completed.

    Spring624 replied to RayRN87's topic in Government

    I commissioned on May & didn't receive orders until November. The army is the best at the hurry up and wait game.

    Spring624 replied to RayRN87's topic in Government

    If you don't mind me asking what kind of problems are you having getting a spot for DCC? Once my unit turned in my application I was able to get a spot reserved, but there are only 3 reserve options so I ended up in the last one for FY 19. Now I can'...

    My recruiter provided me with one. Might ask to see if yours will too.
