  6. How long after turning in application package to Navy Nurse Corps

    Purple_Demon_RN replied to singsongRN's topic in Government, Military

    So I'm a little surprised by that reply. I have to say it seems like either something was misunderstood on purpose or just completely overlooked. I think I make it pretty clear that the CCRN is not...

    Purple_Demon_RN replied to Purple_Demon_RN's topic in Government, Military

    Purple_Demon_RN replied to Purple_Demon_RN's topic in Government, Military

    Well I've been final selected now, but I won't be commissioned until October. What's funny about when I made that post is that my recruiter called me that day and we've remained in touch ever since....

    Purple_Demon_RN posted a topic in Government, Military

    I have 6 months of critical care experience and I was pro-selected for the last board in June. I could be taken at any time but the program director said that they'll have a better idea in August of...

    Purple_Demon_RN replied to TSebald2011's topic in Government, Military
