MissIllCrisis

Hey guys just wanted to get a thread started so we could all celebrate or commiserate together through this process. As of 11/29, my recruiter has said no packages have been selected from any sub specialty due to the NCP. He said we should know befor...

I still have nothing...no orders, no selection letter, no oath of office, no idea what's going on.

I'm worried about the same thing! I have verbal orders to ODS and follow on orders to my first duty station but haven't gotten my official paperwork or even taken my oath of office. I hope this all comes through in time for August í ¾í´ží ¼í¿¼

Congrats! Did you get notified from your detailer or your recruiter? I'm just not sure which one of them I should be talking to. Also did you receive a selection letter before the scroll?

Ah I see! I'm assuming you're Army? I'm going Navy so I am 1945 or ED/Trauma. I don't know if it is a branch difference or active/reserve or just random how these scrolls are working. Hopefully we will get an answer soon.

No clue how this all works to be honest. I talked to the detailer and she told me I had a seat in the August class and where I will go in Sept. I even have talked with my sponsor at my new command but can't move forward with any officially until I ge...

I'm still waiting too. I have received tentative orders and a spot in ODS for August but still haven't had my scroll passed so I can't do my oath of office or finish the last of my paperwork. It's super frustrating. I can't really give work a date ye...

I have two friends who are working there now, but are civilians. They both work in the emergency department so I'm not sure how it would differ from Officer life. What department will you be heading to? When is your PCS date?

With a 1945K how likely are you to get selected for sea rotation/field med/fst? I would actually like to volunteer for these opportunities if possible but like vinstfa has mentioned most posts are fairly old and seem to mention that the 1960s are mor...

Congrats! That is so exciting! I live about 45 min from Lejeune so if you are thinking of off base housing and wondering about areas to look for just let me know.

Haha same! I'm ready to get started with the Navy. Yes I applied active duty for ED/Trauma. Do you know if recruiters are still working during the shut down? I'm afraid I won't be able to get in contact with my recruiter until after the shut down is ...

Wow congrats Inhayes! You applied for active duty right? That's super exciting and I hope that the rest of us hear some good news soon too!

I think they are obviously considering you if they want to ensure you are going to renew your certs. I don't think that necessarily means your package isn't with the board. They could have just asked your recruiter to contact you on their behalf?

Well that's certainly great news! I am figuring they are waiting to officially give out spots until we get a new budget. The temporary budget is through Jan 19 then another potential shut down. Hopefully they will find a permanent budget so we can to...

Does years of experience count more or less than gpa. BSN gpa is 4.0 pre BSN not so hot. Overall is a 3.0

I'm figuring they didn't meet this past week due to New Years etc and they will meet and review packages the next two weeks and let us know around the 22nd week. I guess the timeline really depends on if they are going to let us know specialty by spe...

Anyone heard anything? I was hoping to hear something before the end of the year guess it'll be 2018.

Is there a national requirement for sitting for the CCRN? I haven't heard of that but don't want to waste my money if they won't recognize it. Also I'm taking a test prep class in a few weeks any other studying recommendations?

Are there any free practice type questions and tests? Just paid for my CEN and plan on taking my CCRN in March so I'll have that fee too. Would love some free or super discount tests. Thanks!

I applied for ED/Trauma. I hear ED can mean anything from an urgent care type setting to a level 1/combat field hospital. No matter what i will be excited as long as I can get in. :)

I know this waiting is killing us all! What speciality are you applying for Inhayes? I hope we can all get in and into the same ODS class together.

Thank you! I'm very anxiously awaiting nice to know that we are in the same boat as previous years and that we should have answers soon!

Yes the board hasn't released Oct, Nov, or Dec selections yet. I'm assuming they will be reviewed together in a large pool and selected from there but that's just a guess. Anyone's recruiter updated them at all?

No news! I'd love an Christmas present by way of a phone call with a commissioning date

Congrats sailors! Glad to see your hard work and dedication is paying off!
