Welcome to the Army Nurse Corps (ANC)! I can tell you exactly what you will be doing as a newly assigned RN. I am a Major on Active Duty and am the OIC of the medical floor at William Beaumont Army...
The Army is going to be very similar to the Navy. You give 3 choices for assignment and you will most likely get one of them. You have to be reasonable as well. If you are a new nurse and new to the...
You will do fine as a NG at the VA. Most likely you will be on a Med/Surg floor to start. When I graduated (about 2.5 yrs ago) I looked into the VA as well. there was no issue of being a new grad. If...
Gen, It is an option and one I gladly take. OBLC would not benefit me. I looked at the COI and it is all stuff I have done before. I have been to the field many times over my 10 years as an officer...

I am kinda in the same boat. I will have 2yrs ER experience by the time I go active in Aug. I was wondering if the Army's CRNA programs accept ER experience (civilian) for the critical care...
I am in the process of going active (but still awaiting 1 more waiver) and have a slot in the Aug OBLC. I am considering my long term goals as well (I am prior service, 1LT AR ARNG). By the time I go...
You won't be patrolling the streets of Baghdad. That is not a nurse function. You may be at a hospital in Iraq and have to treat the troops who do go outside the wire. Will you be out of danger in the...
I am not a recruiter but am going through the process of going active. One of the things you will have to do is complete a physical at MEPPS. I would think that if you meet height/weight standards at...
I am in the process of applying to the Army Nurse Corps (been accepted by ANC and now awaiting the waiver process). I was talking with a friend who joined last year and she indicates that promotion...
