Navy application-physical

I've been in the process of applying to the Navy Nursing Corps (graduating May 2012) and my recruiter wants to schedule the physical/get me "medically cleared" before moving on with the application. For those of you who have recently gone through the application process--what does the physical consist of? Is there any fitness tests, or is it just a regular medical physical, like I'd do if I went to the doctor?

Any info would be greatly appreciated :)

Just a physical, but you must be within the required weight limits or you will not be allowed to proceed.

Overall, a pretty easy process. Just regular medical physical with vision and hearing tests. Some bloodwork, urine test and alcohol screen.

I assume you are talking about MEPS. If so, I just went through it about 2 weeks ago. You have a few briefs and a lot of waiting before you get going. But other than that, you have a vision test, depth perception test, color blindness test, hearing test, urinalysis for drugs, blood taken to test for HIV (I believe), you get you vitals, and you see a doc that goes over your forms and DQs you if he deems necessary. After that, you go in a room where you will be test physically. You strip down to your underwear and you follow commands to test joints and limbs. Most difficult is the duck walk. After that, they check you for a few things in your privates (I'm a guy and this is what they did. Can't speak for what women went through). After that, I had to get fingerprints. I was an officer going through so the process ended for me there. I know the enlisted people had an interview, swearing in ceremony, and some other things I didn't partake in. That is about as detailed as I can remember. Hope it helps.

Thank you all--this was very helpful! I was more worried that we were going to have to do the physical fitness test. I'm secretly worried about it even though on my own time I can do everything myself, just afraid that when I have to in front of someone I'll mess up!

there is no prt (physical readiness test) until OIS. dont worry! :cheers:

Women need a Pap which was done in the last year.
