  1. New Army Nurse!

    just_cause replied to teddy4987's topic in Government, Military

    Congrats - and glad to have ya! My 2cents - In addition to PT I'd train the body when to do PT... waking up early and doing PT prior to having a meal as that is how it will happen for you in the...

  2. ROTC vs ANCP

    just_cause replied to hello sammi's topic in Government, Military

    ANCP does not pay for your schooling, it offers a 'future' job and a monthly stipend along with a bonus split between signing up and graduation. I haven't heard if its staying or going.. but I would...

  3. Anyone get an Officer Comission with a useless Bachelor's?

    just_cause replied to Dre2416's topic in Government, Military

    There is not a degree / branch correlation to most branches. Nursing and a few others have atypical accession options like direct accession. However, the path to being an officer is not direct...

  4. What are my options?

    just_cause replied to kingdave's topic in Government, Military

    I'd first make your priorities RN 1st priority or military 1st priority. If RN then BSN is top priority, your progress and time will then enable you to enter the military in the future. The pre-reqs...

  5. What are my options?

    just_cause replied to kingdave's topic in Government, Military

    make a timeline.... map out the pr-reqs as they often cannot be conducted without having some being pre-reqs for one another... then look at time of completion and timeline of admissions to see when...

    wtbcrna is spot on... I'd second that

  7. Becoming an Army nurse? Or any Military for that matter?

    just_cause replied to joshdwarhawks's topic in Government, Military

    Actually - I believe there is a mixup on the above.. The ANCP is for civilians entering or in junior / senior year of BSN program with no military affiliation. The AECP and FNEP you have to be...

  9. Experienced RN ICU looking at Army/Navy. Thoughts?

    just_cause replied to snowbiggie's topic in Government, Military

    fiscal year and packet due date is around the corner. I know army has been doing one board a year now... packets due oct'ish board in nov.. you'd have to be poppin right now to meet that due date.....

  10. RN recruit prospect/advice?

    just_cause replied to JJTRN's topic in Government, Military

    Have you been working as an RN since you graduated in March? (verifying experience prior to admission...). Agree with previous poster in trying to avoid CO route and try to work it out with recruiter...

  11. Just a Shame!

    just_cause replied to JJTRN's topic in Government, Military

    deftonez, I'd agree that moving could be a downside... many feel it is an upside. Your opinion is its been a downside for you, I know many where it has been a huge positive and have more military...

  12. Just a Shame!

    just_cause replied to JJTRN's topic in Government, Military

    Despite if it goes away it directly affecting me and my family.. I think its a good idea "Potentially" - or at least the concept of it. I believe everyone should have to contribute and feel that...

  13. Need your experience and suggestions concerning 66E (OR RN) prior to commission.

    just_cause replied to Scottlin's topic in Government, Military

    for what its worth Jeckrn is probably a better resource then me :) Good luck on your path forward

  14. Need your experience and suggestions concerning 66E (OR RN) prior to commission.

    just_cause replied to Scottlin's topic in Government, Military

    My 2 cents. It is not an incentive that is available. Recruiters don't have the pull to offer or create incentives - plus its not within the benefit of the Army + their is surplus of applicants. My...

  15. Education and being a nurse in the military questions need answering

    just_cause replied to WCSU1987's topic in Government, Military

    I had a previous degree related to something completely different.... had a completely different previous career.. shifted my focus to becoming an RN. I went back to school to complete all pre-reqs...

  19. Becoming an Army nurse? Or any Military for that matter?

    just_cause replied to joshdwarhawks's topic in Government, Military

    I would look long term. I would not join ROTC (me personally) I would then spend all energy on getting BSN and first job. From that point you can look forward to working on packet and applying for...

  20. Is Army Reserve still doing ADN?

    just_cause replied to JustFlyAwayNow's topic in Government, Military

    Its not just # of open slots its also demand/supply of applicants. A surplus of bsn qualified applicants could change the past ADN option whether it based on a change of accession rules or goals or...

    just_cause replied to Journeyman's topic in Government, Military

    Angelrain, I think you will see your comment on no RN accessions w/o prior experience come true for fy12. I think the avenues would be rotc (limited), unsure on future of nurse candidate program, and...
