Hey Tiara, I'm also planning on applying to the Program for the Spring 2010 semester. I still have to take Micro and Engl 102...everything else done. I have a 3.0 science gpa and 3.0 overall. I also have previous bachelor's degree...but i doubt that counts for anything? Did you take the TEAS yet? How did that go. applying to ccbc was kind of a last minute thing for me so I'm planning on meeting with Ms. ****** tomorrow. I'm just wondering if my GPA is high enough. -Smita

I've been doing some research online and have learned that the Army and the Air Force have the Health Professions Loan Repayment Program availabe for practicing Nurses...this provides them with 120,000 dollars to pay back nursing school loans. I was wondering if anyone knew if the Navy also offered this to Nurses. Thanks :)

So, if you're a participant in the Army's Nurse Candidate program, are you still eligible for ARMY NURSE ACCESSION BONUS or ACTIVE DUTY HEALTH PROFESSIONS LOAN REPAYMENT PROGRAM (ADHPLRP)??

Thanks everyone for all the info!!! So, I was on the Army's website yesterday and read about the Health professions loan repayment program...where the army offers you (i think it was 114,000 dollars!) to pay off all your nursing school loans. It seems like there's a catch there because if that was the case, why would anyone in their right mind do the Nurse Candidate Program...it offers you much less money?? Any thoughts?

Hi everyone!! I posted a thread previously about the Navy Nurse candidate Program and whether or not you will be able to go to grad school through the Navy. Someone replied saying you can, but it's not a definite thing, you have to apply, compete, and be accepted. I met someone this weekend who is a 2nd Lt. in the Army attended the Uniformed University of Health Sciences in Bethesda...she is a medical student though....and she gave me the general feeling that there's more room for professional development in the Army than in the Navy which is why she picked the Army. Apparently, you get promoted faster in the Army. Also, I was wondering if I would have better chances going on to grad school through the army?( I am very keen on doing NP or critical care nursing.) Also, could someone tell me the similarities/differences btw the deployment patterns in the Army/Navy??

Hi everyone!!! I just had a real quick question. I'm planning on applying for the Navy's Nurse Candidate Program. But I was wondering if I am accepted to the program, will I still be able to have the Navy put me through graduate school? I would like to eventually become an adult Nurse practioner or a Clinical Nurse Specialist. Does any one know how that will work out?
