Navy nursing and NCP info

It took me about a month and a half to get through the application process, and I barely got it in in time. I also didn't have any obstacles to jump through though. Then you have to wait until November to find out if they accepted you, and then you will probably not take your oath until December. You will get commissioned after you graduate and pass the NCLEX. I would not count on going overseas for your first duty station, but you could always try to do that for your second.

There are different ways to get your masters with the Navy help. With the tuition assistance program I think you can start whenever, but you have to work at the same time. With DUINS (Duty under instruction) you get your normal salary but you only have to go to school. That one you have to apply for, I am not sure if there is a certain number of years you have to serve before applying but I'm sure that helps.

Your recruiter might have more information

I just got accepted into the NCP program not too long ago, so I don't have experience as a Navy nurse yet. Hope that helps.
