Navy Nurse Requirements

Published

Hey everyone! I am currently looking at joining the Navy Nurse Corps and would like some feedback on the requirements to join. The local recruiter I have been in touch with told me that I need recent work experience to start putting a package together. Is this true? A little background on me: BSN with two years of experience between 2013-2015. My husband was stationed in Okinawa, so from Nov 2015 to now, I have not worked in the field. However, I have landed a job and will begin shortly. The recruiter said once I have worked for six months, I can start a package. Are the two years of work experience honestly disregarded? Any input on this process is greatly appreciated.

It wouldn’t be wise to go np if navy is your ultimate goal. They haven’t commissioned new NPs in going on two fiscal years.
