  1. 2011 Air Force Nurse Enlisted Commissioning Program (NECP) Applicants

    kynchanted posted a topic in Government, Military

    Hi All~ There was a thread for last year's NECP applicants but I thought I would start one for 2011. Anyone out there applying to the Air Force's AY 2011 Nurse Enlisted Commissioning Program? We have...

    kynchanted replied to kynchanted's topic in Government, Military

    Hi! :) As for tips on the whole process, the most important thing (as far as nursing school goes) is getting into a nursing program. Sounds obvious, but if you get selected for NECP but are waitlisted...

    Hi briannamurph! :) When you are going into your last semester of nursing school, you will get an email from AFPC asking for your base preferences and your nursing track of choice. The choices for new...

  5. AF Nursing competitive, but NTP still exists?

    kynchanted replied to JerseyGirl13's topic in Government, Military

    Hi! Just wanted to let you know that NTP is actually 11 weeks long in the Air Force (I am in NECP now, just starting my second semester of nursing school). You go to COT (officer training school) for...

    Hi kwolfe01! :) I was a dental lab tech for 13 years before I was accepted to nursing school and NECP, so no, you don't need medical experience. The most I had was that I was a SABC and CPR...

    kynchanted replied to kynchanted's topic in Government, Military

    Hi eagles01! I am going through the program right now (first semester of it). It is hard! There is a reason that the AF sends us and doesn't make us work while we are here; you don't have time to do...

    kynchanted replied to kynchanted's topic in Government, Military

    Hi loveMI! I have some answers to some of your questions. First, UMSL is no longer a compatible school for NECP (they just changed their BSN program to 2.5 years, and NECP's cutoff is two years). As...

    kynchanted replied to kynchanted's topic in Government, Military

    Hi! sorry for the delayed response (I haven't been on here in a bit, nursing school keeps you really busy). UMB accepted all of my classes, but the only ones I took online were stat, government,...

    Hi! Shady Grove is in Rockville, which is about an hour southwest of Baltimore on a map (I have never been there so Google Maps is all I know from). I think that UMB's Baltimore campus has clinicals...

    kynchanted replied to kynchanted's topic in Government, Military

    Hi! That is the tricky thing, finding a school that is completable in two years or less. You will have to drive from UMB to College Park, but you won't have to take ROTC classes there (or at all)....

  12. 2011 Air Force Nurse Enlisted Commissioning Program (NECP) Applicants

    kynchanted replied to kynchanted's topic in Government, Military

    Hi! If a school's program is three years, then that is pretty much set in stone, so no, I don't think you can ask them if you can take three at a time. I tried to ask a few schools last year if I...

    kynchanted replied to kynchanted's topic in Government, Military

    Hi thenameismac! Usually community colleges don't offer Bachelors degrees. If the school says that nursing is a four-year program, that usually means that you complete the first two years of general...

    Yep! NECP is Nurse Enlisted Commissioning Program. Officers can't apply. You are an officer once you graduate and pass the NCLEX, of course. :) You will see once you join that us military people...

    kynchanted replied to kynchanted's topic in Government, Military

    Hi! I was told that the military won't accept University of Phoenix's degrees for commissioning, so I would email Mr. B and ask on that one. Try Grand Canyon University too. You will have to check...

    Hi! Here is the website for the schools you can attend: http://www.afrotc.com/college-life/college-locator-html/ No, I don't have a Mac (I/m a Windows girl), but I am thinking I may try one for my...

    kynchanted replied to kynchanted's topic in Government, Military

    Hi! I was accepted last year as well as this year for NECP (long story why I applied two years in a row). I am an E-6. As for joining the military solely to apply to NECP or to become a nurse, it...

    kynchanted replied to kayroool's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Hi Apple! Keeping my fingers crossed for you. This was my second year trying to gain admission to nursing school, and (luckily) I have been successful this year. Last year I was waitlisted at both...

    kynchanted replied to kynchanted's topic in Government, Military

    Hi! Well I do have some bad news. While UMSL is mil-friendly, they will no longer qualify for NECP after this year as they are switching to a 2.5-year program (which is not allowable for NECP, has to...

    kynchanted replied to kynchanted's topic in Government, Military

    Hi! Have you seen the NECP Guidelines? They have a checklist as well as in-depth explanations of what you need. I can either send them to you at home or at work if you don't have them. You can PM...
