  1. Tattoos - after you're already in the NCP

    HM2Doc replied to Motherofcorgis's topic in Government, Military

    Getting a tattoo after you've signed a contract stating you wouldn't is a BAD IDEA. In the military we call that "disobeying a direct order". Getting caught could result in you being kicked out of the...

  2. Military Nursing Questions Answered

    HM2Doc replied to navyman7's topic in Government, Military

    - I'm not sure what your idea of a "real family" is. You may have to elaborate. Military families move around a lot and have to deal with periods of separation...it's just the way it is. If you make a...

  3. Military Nursing Questions Answered

    HM2Doc replied to navyman7's topic in Government, Military

    For those of you considering reserves for monetary reasons, let me share with you my experience with the military. You will have to earn every penny of it. You should plan on being deployed...which...

  4. Navy Nurse

    HM2Doc replied to jcecere's topic in Government, Military

    1) You will have to go to ODS. It's about 5 weeks and according to the nurses I've spoken to, it's a piece of cake. 2) When it comes to which department you work in, the Navy will TRY to accommodate...

  5. Medical Waiver for Navy; PCOS

    HM2Doc replied to CSUnursegirl2b's topic in Government, Military

    CSUnursegirl2b: I had to get a medical waiver when I applied, too. Of course, my waiver was for my knees (ACL repairs from when I was on active duty as an enlisted). I can tell you that IF your doctor...

  6. Navy Nursing: Anyone have experience with the NCP?

    HM2Doc replied to GuelnRn's topic in Men in Nursing

    For everyone who is asking about GPA: The minimum requirement is a 3.0 GPA. If you have less than that, it will probably be a waste of time applying...if they even let you apply at all. I would guess...

  7. Navy Nursing: Anyone have experience with the NCP?

    HM2Doc replied to GuelnRn's topic in Men in Nursing

    Palmharbormom: I also had a 3.9 GPA when I applied (applied with 3.99 after first two years of college plus first semester in BSN program). I got accepted this past July. If you meet all the other...

  8. Talking to recruiter about Navy NCP

    HM2Doc replied to CSUnursegirl2b's topic in Government, Military

    I am a prior service Hospital Corpsman and I've been in the NCP since July. Basically everything Linnaete said is correct. And, yes, the monthly stipend is taxable, as is the bonus. NCP is a pain in...

  9. Navy NCP 2013

    HM2Doc replied to Buckeyes6245's topic in Government, Military

    Another bit of information about the boards: The boards do not wait until all the packages are submitted and then sit down and have one board meeting to pick who gets in and who doesn't. Instead, they...

  10. Navy NCP 2013

    HM2Doc replied to Buckeyes6245's topic in Government, Military

    I was accepted into the NCP earlier this year and signed my contract around June or July. The best advice I can give you is to contact an officer recruiter as soon as you get your nursing school...

  11. New Navy NCP Selectee Looking for others!

    HM2Doc replied to littleluvbugnavy's topic in Government, Military

    Delaney: I'm also living in Jax right now. I've only got two more semesters at UNF before I graduate and head off to ODS. As for why I didn't care for NH Jax (back in 2008-2009) 1) Workplace...

  12. To anyone with NCP or Navy Nursing Experience please HELP!

    HM2Doc replied to GuelnRn's topic in Government, Military

    GuelnRn: This means that all the spots have been filled for FY 2013, which I believe is Oct 2012 through Oct 2013. I also heard that FY 2014 is filling up quickly. If I were you I would still finish...

  13. New Navy NCP Selectee Looking for others!

    HM2Doc replied to littleluvbugnavy's topic in Government, Military

    My recruiter said that I have to wait for the paperwork to arrive (which takes from 1-2 months, from what I hear). Once the paperwork gets here I supposedly swear in on an inactive duty status, and...

  16. New Navy NCP Selectee Looking for others!

    HM2Doc replied to littleluvbugnavy's topic in Government, Military

    So I got word today from my recruiter that....I GOT SELECTED! Stoked! This has been such a long process and it's so good to finally see some results. Can't wait to put on a military uniform...again....

    HM2Doc replied to littleluvbugnavy's topic in Government, Military

    BruniMite: The results still haven't come out yet. I probably checked my email 50 times on Friday, but no results. Hopefully by THIS Friday they will come out. The military's policy on going home on...

  18. Camp Lejeune for a new grad?

    HM2Doc replied to navynursegirl's topic in Government, Military

    I'm not sure what normal nursing hours are, to be honest. There are many different jobs in the hospital that require nurses to work a variety of hours (8's, 12's, 24's, nights, days, weekends), so...

  19. New Navy NCP Selectee Looking for others!

    HM2Doc replied to littleluvbugnavy's topic in Government, Military

    In the Navy, all you need to do is ask for help and you will get it. The military is HUGE on teamwork and helping out your fellow service member. In fact, NOT helping each other out is actually...

  20. Camp Lejeune for a new grad?

    HM2Doc replied to navynursegirl's topic in Government, Military

    Good choice on changing from Camp Lejeune to Portsmouth. Portsmouth is a much larger hospital where you will have more opportunities for training and experience. I've been to both and Portsmouth is...

  21. Best way to choose first base

    HM2Doc replied to macerhok's topic in Government, Military

    I've actually been stationed at all three of the locations that you've mentioned (PCOLA, JAX, and Camp Lejeune). However, I didn't actually work at the hospital at Camp Lejeune (CL), so I cannot tell...

  22. New Navy NCP Selectee Looking for others!

    HM2Doc replied to littleluvbugnavy's topic in Government, Military

    BruniMite: My recruiter said that I'd go to ODS after I graduate and pass the NCLEX (around Jun-Jul 2013). It's only like 6 weeks, and compared to regular bootcamp (which I went through), it shouldn't...

  23. New Navy NCP Selectee Looking for others!

    HM2Doc replied to littleluvbugnavy's topic in Government, Military

    Brunimite: Good luck to you, as well. The most recent board (the board my kit was sent to) convened last week, so results should hopefully come out by this Friday. I'm not sure how many people they...

  24. Questions about joining the NCP through the navy..

    HM2Doc replied to StudentNurseKari's topic in Government, Military

    I am aware that you were talking about the NCP program. I was under the impression that you were only going to get a degree from a diploma school, which would not enable you to get accepted in the...

    cpf216: I was a Hospital Corpsman and I can fill you in on that a bit. Corpsman (or HMs), go to Corps school and are trained by other Corpsman. After Corps school, they get sent to hospitals and are...
