  1. Navy Nurse Candidate Program Summer 2013

    The NCP is for (BSN) nursing school students. Are you an ADN right now going for BSN? There were a couple of people at ODS with me who did that. If this is the case, I think just getting a certification in a certain unit is the most beneficial thing ...
  2. What age did you complete your BSN or ASN?

    BSN at 29
  3. NAVY - Can someone help figure this out?

    I know the NCP is very competitive, but I'm pretty sure they weed out most people simply by making them jump through hoops. I started my packet almost a year before I was finally accepted. There was a ton of paperwork, trips to the Doctor to get waiv...
  4. Buying a car for nursing school

    I don't think of interest as just giving money to a bank. I think of interest as a big ol thankyou for allowing me to buy a good car that has a good warranty that will last me for many years. Glass half full
  5. The military is moving my family!

    Not that I am aware of. When my husband was in I got 3 years into a premed degree at ASU and when we moved to South Dakota I had to switch to a Biology degree and although my credits "transferred", they transferred as a whole bunch of electives. If t...
  6. Buying a car for nursing school

    I bought a brand new diesel Jetta in March 2012. It is expensive but getting ~45mpg in a car that actually has power is great. It's also not a car that I will want to junk as soon as I start getting a bigger paycheck... I say buy a car that you want ...
  7. Navy NCP FY2014 'Role call'

    Nope, you have to have between 12 and 24 months of nursing school left when you apply so you are right at the beginning :)

    Oh haha. I was confused!
  10. Navy Nurse Candidate Program Summer 2013

    Sorry, but what do you mean by "1 year of scholarship"? Are they paying for school now to?
  11. Navy Nurse Candidate Program Summer 2013

    I don't know if they looked at my cumulative GPA or my nursing GPA. I have a 3.4 cumulative and I think like a 3.8 nursing. I have a previous degree so they may have focused on the nursing but I'm not sure. Either way, I think a 3.6 is awesome :)
  12. New to Navy, ODS, Portsmouth-need any help?

    Lol yeah I figured it may have not been correct. Good luck with everything :)
  13. New to Navy, ODS, Portsmouth-need any help?

    A girl in my class missed the cut off for the NCP and went through my recruiter to look into a commission after getting her license. He told her that for this fiscal year there are no spots for current nurses. So she won't be able to do anything unti...
  14. Navy NCP FY2014 'Role call'

    I just want a big busy hospital where I can hopefully learn the most. I'm doing my clinicals at an Air Force base clinic right now and it's pretty slow. I don't know much about any Navy bases and wasn't sure which ones had good hospitals lol so I put...
  15. A&P II before A&P I ?

    Generally, if AP1 was a prereq to AP2 the system wouldn't even let you register for it without written approval from the teacher (which the person registering you usually does not have the authority to override). If 1 is not a prereq for 2 then it's ...
