Question about the NCP for the Navy. The overall GPA of 3.0 is that in all classes or just the nursing ciriculum? I have a lot of credits from different courses. Should I add them all up or just the nursing courses? I am getting ready to transfer colleges into the BSN program and am told I will be a junior in standing. Can you suggest any weight loss of control tips? Thanks! D-

cpt c,
Have you contacted a navy recruiter?
If you are entering in as a junior you are eligible for the 12-24 months of 1k monthly stipend... and to be accepted you don't have to be in the program.. rather have a letter of acceptance, that way you can take care of the paperwork - be 'pseudo in the navy' and starting getting some stipend.
I spoke with a Navy recruiter for general enlisted and he said that he would put me in contact with a nurse recruiter. I have yet to hear from one. I sent in a card from my college campus to have a recruiter contact me. Hopefully I will hear somthing in the next few weeks or I will have to look online for an officer recruiter. I am looking forward to getting some help with living expenses and tuition. I have a little over 25k in loans right now and it is growing slowly. Thanks for listening and replying!

Cpt C,
You need to ask to speak with a navy healthcare recruiter - not enlisted not an officer recruiter... it will be an officer who is a health care recruiter. You should be able to get their number from any local recruiting station... call around if they don't have it - as the healthcare recruiter might not directly be local in your city but rather at the state level

I can get my navy healthcare recruiter to pull up the contact person for you if you have the zipcode. I can shoot her an email. She's great!
