Anyone applying for Navy FY2020? If so, what are you specialities? Where are you in your packets?
And current navy RNs -- please tell me what your life was like from ODS to starting your career in the navy. I am slightly terrified!
Just talked to my recruiter today and was told the same info for billets for 2020. Exceptionally disappointing is correct.
What are your backgrounds? Looking to get into critical care in the next few months so I can gain experience in the area they need. Been a nurse since 2016, just not in critical care. Yahoo.
Hopefully the wait is worth it!... It's gotta be, right?? ?

My recruiter told me the ER billets are already gone. Super annoying.
ER is my background. Don’t want anything else.
Good Evening All,
I went to Officer Development School in AUG of 2018. I am currently stationed at Naval Hospital Guantanamo Bay. I came in as a MEDSURG nurse but I have recently attained my 1945 or emergency room SSC. Hang in there if you have already submitted a package with your recruiter. I was told it likely wasn't going to happen, then I was waitlisted, then I filled someone's spot who bailed and here I am... I'd definitely recommend going on with whatever you want to do but "hurry up and wait" is literally the unofficial motto of applying to the USN as a nurse... Hopefully I see you all at some point!! Good luck!!!

Oh wow! I’m applying for ER. Would love to chat more about your experiences as an ER nurse if you’re up for it.

My recruiter gave me the same number for ED. 2 Er nurses. Sucks.
