Navy Medical Recruiter near Chicago

Published

Hi all,

I am looking to speak to a Navy Medical Recruiter in the Chicago are about my options with them and was wondering if any of you are/were from the Chicago area and who you talked with to get you into Navy Nursing (NCP, Direct, etc).

OR if someone on here IS a Navy Medical Recruiter, please PM me because I have lots and lots of questions for you!

Thanks!

I have called their office several times recently and only gotten a voicemail while I was at work. I had a recruiter there but he left earlier this year. If you need the numbers, let me know. Hopefully you will have more luck than I have had so far.

I got the voicemail for a Chief Cambell, but that's about it. Is there someone else I should be trying to contact there?

I only know of a Lieutenant, but she hasn't called me. I hope the chief is helpful.

I know someone! How do you PM here? I can give you his contact details! Sorry I'm new here got no idea how to message!

Not sure. I added you as a friend so hopefully it'll allow you to PM me. I got in contact with a Lt in the city who was very helpful so i will probably keep working with her.

The recruiter I got to talk to before is a nurse! So he was very helpful and very knowledgeable. Even took me to tours etc :) let me know if you still want his contact number. This was last year so hopefully he hasn't retired yet or something

If all else fails, you can go to the MEPCOM bldg on Green Bay Rd in North Chicago and ask the front desk to see a health care recruiter. My recruiter there just left and I don't know the name of his replacement... Good luck

So I talked to the Great Lakes facility and they put me in contact with a Lt. who is also a nurse. So far she has been awesome. Thanks for your help everyone.

hello i dont know if this thread is still going on, but i'm just wondering can a new grad RN sign up for this navy medical? may someone share this number info with me? cause i really wanna join the navy. is this different from being an officer in the navy? thanks a lot! :D

Redruby...

No you can't just sign up... Getting in is time consuming and competitive. There are several ways to join... I would recommend searching the boards for details. If you're an experienced RN you may be able to put a kit in for direct commission.

All nurses are officers.

Good luck!

This would be the same as commissioning as an officer in the Navy, which requires a couple things, at a minimum: being a US citizen and also having graduated from a school that is NLNAC or CCNE accredited.
