The process depends on you and your recruiter. Some people it takes 6 months, and others it takes much longer. I wouldn't count on anything less than 6 months though, and that's being generous. Everyone will tell you that you need one year of BSN ex...
I think there are jobs out there for you, you just have to seek them out. I have a friend who is an on call SANE nurse. She doesn't work in a specific ER, but works for a major hospital system. Her background was in the OR.

I'm just curious..... has anyone been flat out denied? You can message me if you prefer. I know we all know how grueling this process is. My best guess is 98% of applicant weed themselves out.

I think we are all in the same boat. I think 98% of us were told mid January we would have results. It's a cruddy feeling, but it feels good to know we aren't alone..... except I just found out my package was never submitted. So I probably won't know...

I am very excited for you. I like your plan, I think it's a good one. I'm going active. My recruiter told me I shouldn't expect results anytime soon. I guess I am technically the Dec 15 board, even though my documents were submitted in November.

Hey!!!! I'm credentialed for Critical Care, and have been in the ICU about a year and a half. I was active duty for 5 years. I'm a little confused. My package was submitted at the end of November, presumably for a December 15th board. Does that soun...

How long after the board meeting did you hear results? How long did it take you to commission after finding out you were accepted? Was anyone waitlisted as a 1960?
SBSN replied to DiscGolfNurse's topic in Government
Hey Michy, I started my package last August and got credentialed in March. In March I told my recruiter to stop processing my package. In July I went back and told him I was ready. I had to do some things over because I am now submitting for FY 18. I...

You can go enlisted as a Medic or Corpsman and gain invaluable experience, and then get out and use your GI Bill to pay for college. There is also the option of getting picked up for an enlisted to officer program while being active duty (but all pro...
You are so right! My husband just finished a recruiting tour, and he keeps telling me that officer recruiters don't have to push us and we have to push them (because like you said, the spot is relatively coveted and not given to anyone). I feel annoy...
