I have read different posts concerning the Army Nursing Board and how often it meets. It seems like it used to be monthly but now is much less frequent? How often do they meet usually? I'm just...
Thanks again for all the great information. I agree and I will be upfront with them. Hopefully I will be able to get a better time frame of when I will be able to go to the board and be commissioned...
