I commissioned active duty Army to gain hospital experience (FY 2019). I submitted my packet with ~2 years HH nursing experience and was selected for 66H with eventual 66S schooling in my contract. In my competitive state it's how I plan to gain hospital RN experience.

I'm active duty awaiting orders/duty station. I submitted my wishlist of duty station twice and I should be finding out my duty station before basic (I'm OCONUS).

I'm currently awaiting my scroll for 66S student (yes 66S is written in my papers with a 3 year commitment). I'm not former military so I can't offer much other than the process to apply for commission. According to my recruiter for 66S I will be sent to Fort Sam after basic and leadership school. For my packet I was able to choose my top 3 dream hospitals to work at (For 66S it has to be a major hospital..I think I had 6 options). I do not have prior ICU/ER experience thus my only incentive was 66S or commission as a 66h (no loan repayment or bonus).

I am a graduate of KCCs lpn and lpn to adn transition program. LPN cohort was about 15 students. I believe 13 of us applied for the lpn to adn bridge immediately after graduation and only 4 of us got in the upcoming semester. The remaining cohort applied for the next round and EVERYONE from my cohort was accepted. Cohort was entirely made up of local residents. I doubt lpn classes count a whole lot toward ranking system because our lpn valedictorian was not one of the 4 students that got in immediately. Stats? I applied with one C the remaining was As and Bs with a teas score of 79.

Our entire class (~13 students) passed the LPN boards and applied immediately for the upcoming LPN-ADN cohort. Out of the 13 students 4 were accepted and the rest of us were wait listed for the following semester (ALL of the remaining students were accepted into the following semester). Basically the 4 students only graduated a semester before us. Hopefully my timeline makes sense.

Graduate of KCC's LPN and LPN-ADN bridge program. TEAS: 76% (English killed me). Applied with 3.3 GPA. Had prereqs and coreqs for both programs. Applied to LPN only thinking I wouldn't get in (Accepted on my first try).
