  1. Physical Exam at ODS

    Thanks for the replies thus far, one way to look at it too is it's out of my hands, I just need to suck it up. Navyman, if you could find that schedule that'd be cool, I'm curious what the agenda looks like.
  2. Physical Exam at ODS

    Well one of the reasons is that I'm tired of physical exams. I've been through two MEPS experiences and I'm done...
  3. Physical Exam at ODS

    This is mainly for those who have been through ODS. How detailed is the Medical exam at ODS, is it like MEPS or just a standard Utox/Alcohol test? Thanks for everyone's time. Oh please don't post negative answers or assume anything. Just a nice, i...
  4. Persistence is paying off...

    Army base eh? Be easy on them... :]
  5. ODS questions

    I'd shave it. If you positively have to have a mustache, feel them out and if you feel it's safe grow it back. I know you want to maintain a little piece of you, but if you're out of regs...so is your shipmate. Take from someone who went through e...
  6. Direct Commission into Navy Nurse Corps

    Depends. I put a timeline up regarding my experience. From your Prorec to final select it could be 2 weeks to 1 month. From your finsel to ODS it could be another month or so. You have to understand that it's the holidays and vacations and extend...
  7. Persistence is paying off...

    Signed my COMDOCS on Wednesday 10/7/11 and received my official 12 x 16 letter from the Secretary of the Navy on Thursday 10/8/11, need one more physical prior to ODS. High Fiber diet and P90x for the next couple months for me!
  8. Direct Commission into Navy Nurse Corps

    Congrats, so you got your ProRec today?
  9. MEPS date

    Not very long, MEPS is like a factory with conveyor belts. The biggest hold up is filling out the prescreening form.
  10. Persistence is paying off...

    Nice! I have another shipmate for ODS!
  11. Persistence is paying off...

    I know he's chipping away at the final selects. When I left him a message/email, I politely asked where I was in his queue, so that I can focus on a day rather than a random call. He called me a couple days later and we hammered out my duty station...

    Thanks Lunah! :]
  13. Best Specialty Experience Option?

    I should've put a disclaimer. I'm very biased. :]
  14. Best Specialty Experience Option?

    It's more what your style is. If fast paced to you seems "unsafe" than it might not be a good fit. For me personally I became an ER nurse because I want to be where the action is and maintain my military bearing when crap hits the fan. You get all...
  15. Persistence is paying off...

    bfrei, I PM'ed you. Not sure if you can receive those or not. Rafael, are you Progressive Care (Cardiac/medsurg) or Cardiac ICU? If you're cardiac icu you won't just be a general 2900 (Nurse) but will be specialized. I was given ER classificatio...
