I'm jealous that was my first pick but didn't get it... See ya in a couple weeks tho!

I've been reviewing some stuff as well...Evan though I know someone who just finished ODS she said u can but honestly she didn't and was just fine ... And I love this site too just makes everything easy!!

Are you going to Jacksonville Nc or fl??? Im excited but I know someone who just finished 3wks ago with ODS and she gave me slot of info

Yep I've heard good things I can let u no about ODS or camp lejune!!!

I didn't get any of my top three choices... but idk a lot of feeds I've been reading said they got one of theres

I just graduated May of 2012 and passed my NCLEX in June. My orders are being processed now and I'm being sent to NC Camp Lejuene, I didn't get any of my top 3 picks..but I'm going to make the best of it..Im scheduled to go to ODS aug 12th!!! Anyone else!?

I will be at ODS august 12th too..however I didn't get FL like i wanted I got Camp Lejuene in NC

Hello, everyone My name is Nina and I just graduated from the NCP program and will be leaving for ODS in August. ODS is the 5 week officer training in Rhode Island. I was wondering if anyone has went before and can tell me what to expect. Like what you can take with you, what you need to know before going, whats an everyday routine like, just everything and anything you can tell me... Thanks really appreciate it!!

Okay that sounds good... Are the ppl on base or in that area rather friendly?

Thank you I will definently keep that in mind. How far is it from base

Well that is good to hear and quite a relief. Honestly my biggest concern was the comradery amongst the staff but it is good to know that it seems that it's positive. I've heard the base is very nice, I will look into emerald isle but have you heard of arlington west apartment?

Hello everyone. I am a new grad nurse recently graduating from ODU nursing program. I was in the navy NCP program and my first duty station will be camp lejuene. I was just hoping someone would have some information about the base, the people, the hospital, etc. I no its a small facility but if anyone has ever worked there and has info to share it would be greatly appreciated!!! Thank you!!!!

say for instance I'm living with someone..the only way for him to go wherever I go is if were married right? Alo if you live off base is that you live in your own apartment or house or are you sharing a space?

so I would most likely be off base...also do you know anything bout going in if you have a significant other...

I actually would rather be on ground thats why I was asking. Do you know if you are an officer when you enter after doing the ncp if you have to live on base or do you have the option to live off base and get the stipen for housing and food

also with the navy..as a nurse is your work place on a ship and are you living on a ship and is it docked near land or what?

so i have also heard that as an officer you get more say so in where you want to be stationed? because coming in after graduation i would be an officer. and also i was wondering (i dont know if you know this answer) but going into the airforce for example i would be an officer and say my spouse joined with me but would be a enlistee is that okay and do they keep you together

That does sould good money wise...but I think my biggest concern is what your day is like more so..like hows it going to go once your in there...Do you just work in a hospital on base...what is your workload like..how long are your shifts?

So in the air force do you have the sam amount of patients as if you were a civilian nurse?

Im a little confused 34k for two years is that like loan payback? And your saying when you sign up you agree to give them 5 years and for 4 of those years you get 24k like bonuses or something....and do you happen to no any good recruiters or just someone I could contact to get more details? I really wanna check all my options before I make my decision

thankyou I have definently started looking through the different forums

Don't you also make more money though as an officer..or is the 46 K- 48K what an officer would get paid.

So what exactly made you choose the navy over the airforce?

Hello my name is nina and I'm a junior in college majoring in nursing. I was just wondering if it was any nurses out there who have actually gone through the process and can give some feedback. I have so many question and wanted to try and get some info outside of a recruiter. Some of my questions are as followed... 1. What are the steps in doing the nursing transition program, I know you go off and do your training and then a 10 week clinical I think? How was that? 2. What is an adverage day like as a nurse in the Air force. I know alot of times as a civilian they say nurses are overworked and underpaid, is it the same in the air force? 3. Do they have any field of nursing in the Air force? I was looking toward pediatrics or neo natal 4. Do you get deplowed often? 5. How does the paying off you school loans work and how many years are you required? I am very interested in joining but I just want to get all the information first. THanks if you can help!!!
