Hi, I am new to this website so bear with me if this is a bit messy! I am in Army ROTC right now and will be graduating May 2010 with my Nursing degree and hopes of becoming a Critical Care nurse. I have a few questions about what will happen once I commission and become an Army Nurse... 1. What happens after graduation? (where do I go, BOLC 3, how long, etc.) 2. I understand that there is a Army Nurse Residency program that I am required to do for 1 year. Where is this done? Can I do it at Ft. Sam Houston? If not, what are the other options for locations to do my residency? 3. Once I am done with my residency, I understand that I get a "top 5" choice of where I would like my first duty station to be...what is the likely-hood of staying at Ft. Sam Houston? 4. Does anyone know of a website that explains EVERYTHING??? My cadre are giving me the run-around and all of these military websites just give me a brief synopsis but nothing that tells me WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN! Needless to say, I am frustrated. I would appreciate any and all help, I just want to be prepared and well versed so I don't look ridiculous as a new 2LT! Thank you :) Rachel
