That's a good idea. Being near family the first tour will ease you in nicely to military life. We're in the same boat, we live in Seattle, so if our options are limited but Seattle area is available...
Not quite sure yet and really open to any place. I wanted to speak with our detailer to get an idea what our options are, hopefully he'll call me this week. What about you
Oh to answer your question about days...say for example you work 36 hour weeks in a civilian job, that's great and considered full time. In the military if someone is sick or there's not enough staff...
Collateral duty could mean different things, what I know it to be is being the PFA/PRT coordinator, BLS/ACLS instructor, MWR rep, so on and so forth. Choosing where you want to go can be pretty...
Ohmg, The US Navy will give you 1/2 credit for every one year of professional nursing (BSN not ADN). So say you've been an RN-BSN for 2 years, that would be 1 year credit toward your next rank. So...
Jeckrn is absolutely correct. Start as soon as you possibly can. I've been at it for two years as of this month and I finally got my COMDOCS today. This is a very grueling process, if you want it...
Hi there Corey, You asked about the chances of getting into the navy nurse corps. Look at it this way, not trying = zero percent chance. Generally though, the goal of the navy is to make sure they...

I'm so thrilled about the good news from everybody! Oh for anybody perusing through you can message me as well if you have any questions, here to help. One last thing, I forgot to mention my scroll...
Like I said earlier, for people who've been pro-recc'd we're not out of the woods yet. But here is my timeline like promised, hopefully this can help some people :] September 2009: Spoke with...
Quick update from my end. My kit was submitted in August, but was pushed back to October. Their reason was August wasn't for FY12. Same old story though, what you think is good, really isn't, which...
As far as meeting recruiters faster that's completely up to you, you have to initiate the call or knock on their door, so to speak. This whole process can take up to two years, avg time is one year....
You're very welcome. I started the process while I was in the ADN-BSN ladder program (I ended up doing direct commission app) This month marks my two year journey of paperwork and endless reference...
Always good to start the process sooner rather than later. This way you know if you're on the right track. Also, paperwork is very burdening, references, background check, etc. The process is a...
Either way avg processing time is 1 year. If Crna is your goal try applying now and tell the military you're enrolled in a program. Once you get started, be prepared for changes as it will the only...
