  6. Want to be a Navy Nurse

    for the army side, the reason you have to take the asvab when you apply to the ancp program is because when you apply to this scholarship program, they actually put you in the IRR as a PFC. this is...

  12. Is anyone an L.P.N. in the Army?

    this thread has also been very interesting to me. my question is regarding being in the army as a LPN but holding an RN license. i have seen other posts on this site about an RN working as an LPN...
  13. ANCP anyone? good, bad, ugly??

  14. Non-Nurses calling themselves a Nurse

  16. Wrote up for being negative?!?!

  22. Physical Fitness!!

    I would stick with focusing on the pt test: pushups, situps and the 2 mile run. I will soon be in your shoes, I am slotted for obc in august. For a start I would find out what your requirements are...
