Hey Anyone with info,

I have been accepted into the Navy Nurse Corps for this year as an alternate. My recruiter told me that I was number 69 of the 65 spots that got picked up this year. I was just wondering if anyone had any info about the likelyhood of people backing out and since this whole Haiti disaster, what the chances of them expanding on the number they take. But any info about any of it will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

People always back out at the last minute. I didn't want to go to ODS in Feb. to cold for me. I am going in April then to N.C. Good luck to all of you leaving in a couple of weeks. Please post and let me know how ODS really is

The one thing that comes to mind without my sitting here and thinking of what all to tell you is this:

if your interested, find and contact your local recruiter. these spots fill quick. The navy NCP is currently not taking anyone else for the program for the year 2010. They are starting to look for 2011 now.

Is NCP only for people who want to sign up while in school for the tuition payments? I'm in an accelerated program and graduate in September and am interested in joining after I graduate. Would that still be the NCP or would it be something else since I'd be starting after I graduate?

hi everyone,

I'm just starting the steps for the NCP program, I graduate with my BSN in May 2012, and I had a few questions, first I'm having trouble with the "Tell us why you want to commission, the reason I'm having problems with this is because I don't have alot of leadership or management or nurse experience, second, out of the army, air force, navy, what made you pick the navy? third-I'm really nervous about the interview portion, any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated, 4th-my long term goal is to be a NP or a CRNA-Does the navy offer chances for this once the time comes? What is the promotion rate like? I'm not completely clueless far as the military goes, I'm prior enlisted 6 years active duty in the army, I just don't know alot about how the navy works....also what assignments can I expect as a new graduate???? Also to the person who is graduating in September, I don't think you have enough time to participate in the NCP...
