Navy Nurse Corps Direct Accession FY 2013

Published

Just looking for other FY2013 DA hopefuls! My paperwork was submitted to be considered at the first board... Anyone else in the same boat? Also, I am a new grad but am working at a large university hospital. Does anyone know what the chances for a new grad are? Perhaps people from other years can weigh in. From what I've read, being a new grad is basically an automatic no :(TIA!

She said my packet was with the program manager still and that it would go to the next board. This has been a long road and I just hate rejection so I guess that is why I'm getting so frustrated.

Mine also told me well over a 100 were submitted and only 64 will be reviewed next board is November 30. They are a mixture of active duty, reserve, and student applicants so all other kits are being held until the next board.

I also got the same bad news. Nov 30th for me as well. Better occupy myself for another month. I was given wrong information and thought I would be on the first board just like many of you. Oh well. Chances of acceptance are looking slimmer and slimmer.

Navywifeim I am sorry to hear that you are discouraged! If there is another board in 2 weeks, stay hopeful!! They wouldn't have a board if they weren't looking to pick up more people! I have a question though... Did your recruiter tell you about this "list"? I have had communication issues with mine and as far as she told me, everything was sent to NRC (I don't even know what that is) on 8/17. She told me I would be considered for the first board, but it seems like people who also thought they were are finding out differently. Is the only way for me to find this out from my recruiter?

I know they are having another board, but are they mostly going to be for the wait list. Any idea?

Do you know definitive if your kit will be reviewed then? I'm wondering if the recruiters are just saying it will be reviewed when in fact they have no idea really. Very frustrating :-(

My recruiter said it will be the next 65 reviewed on nov 30 but she had no idea where I was in that pile. She did say of the 65 they looked at last Friday 30 were DA.

So there has only been one board for FY2013? I remember last year that they had already made selections and things were close up by November... I hope this means there is still hope

According to my recruiter the number of D.A. in the board in October was 30 and they want 34 for FY13. So depending on how many they take there should be at least 4 more spots for the board on 11/30. Has anyone heard from the first board yet?

My recruiters assistant told my husband yesterday that they took 27 from the first board and they have 36 spots total... So frustrating since I made sure all my stuff was to my recruiter on time and it didn't make it there until September. The assistant seemed very confidant that mine would be in the next board. I guess it is more hurry up and wait, the joys of the military!!
