  1. Navy Nurse First Duty/ODS/Relocation 2013

    oaktown2 replied to aketamax's topic in Government, Military

    I emailed him and then he called me a few hours later. He didn't give me a date for ODS as everything depends on when you pass the NCLEX, but he did say that it would probably be Jul or

  2. Navy Nurse First Duty/ODS/Relocation 2013

    oaktown2 replied to aketamax's topic in Government, Military

    HM2Doc - It sounds like you have a pretty good shot at NMCSD. I think they may have saved some slots for NCP'ers and I assume you are already on the west coast? But you never know. Hopefully you...

  3. Navy Nurse First Duty/ODS/Relocation 2013

    oaktown2 replied to aketamax's topic in Government, Military

    Hi Aketamax - I was able to speak to **** Friday and was tentatively given San Diego. I echo Sw88tpea's comments about asking for where you want to go. I know another new grad that got something...

  4. 2012 NCP Graduates, any news about ODS?

    oaktown2 replied to littleluvbugnavy's topic in Government, Military

  5. New to Navy, ODS, Portsmouth-need any help?

    oaktown2 replied to Sw88tpea's topic in Government, Military

    Hi slc1984, Congrats! If you are NCP, then you pretty much have to list the big 3 as your preferences. They also tell you if you are at school on one coast then they won't send you to the other....

  6. 2012 NCP Graduates, any news about ODS?

    oaktown2 replied to littleluvbugnavy's topic in Government, Military

    Hi, For those who graduated last spring, how has the first 6-8 months been? I would love to hear about how it has been at some of the smaller hospitals. Did they have some form of new grad program...

  7. Psych Nurse w/o Military Experience - Insight?

    oaktown2 replied to NCindasun21's topic in Government, Military

    I like nurse2033's response and I think it is good to keep in mind. I would go for it. I am also interested in working with vets in a similar capacity and have asked myself a similar question. In...

  8. Info on becoming a Navy nurse

    oaktown2 replied to haileyblackburn's topic in Government, Military

    Hi Hailey, Just a point of clarification on nursing schools, the nursing program must be NLN or CCNE accredited. My guess is that most four year colleges with nursing programs will be accredited by...

  9. Navy or Army Nursing Candidate Program

    oaktown2 replied to Bridget1012's topic in Government, Military

    No, everyone who qualifies is not selected. Each year the numbers of selectees changes based on what their needs are. I would just make sure that you work hard in school and keep your GPA as high as...

  10. New to Navy, ODS, Portsmouth-need any help?

    oaktown2 replied to Sw88tpea's topic in Government, Military

    JulyLeo16 - your stats definitely sound competitive. The other factor that you will need to look at is timing. Spots fill quickly and not sure when you graduate, but the sooner your contact a health...

  11. Ods hhg

    oaktown2 replied to staugnurse's topic in Government, Military

    OIS is actually what they used to send nurses to, it is now ODS and includes chaplain, legal medical, etc. It is only 5 weeks whereas OCS is 12. I have yet to go, but there is a good thread here...

  12. How old is "too old" to get commissioned?

    oaktown2 replied to redshott's topic in Government, Military

    As a RN, the Navy will commission you until you turn 42, without a

  13. Navy Nurses

    oaktown2 replied to seanynjboy's topic in Government, Military

    If you search for the thread Military Nursing Questions Answered, it will give you a bunch of info. It was written by a Navy Nurse and the author is very good about answering furthers questions that...

  14. Questions about NCP

    oaktown2 replied to PalmHarborMom's topic in Government, Military

    nursespouse - for NCP you don't need experience. It is for students who graduate, take the NCLEX and then go directly into the nurse corps. PalmHarborMom - if you are accepted will your VA allow...

  15. Application Process Navy Nurse

    oaktown2 replied to matters04's topic in Government, Military

    There is also the Nurse Candidate Program. It doesn't require you to do anything other than maintain a 3.0 GPA, you receive a stipend while in school and then have a spot when you graduate. You...

  16. Navy NCP interview advice

    oaktown2 replied to chelauren's topic in Government, Military

    I had my interview at a naval hospital. It was more of a panel interview with 3 people and definitely not as casual as utamaverick's experience. It was in the winter and I wore a pant suit and I...

  17. RN-BSN Online For Air Force or Navy?

    oaktown2 replied to JustADream's topic in Government, Military

    You actually might have better luck with asking your questions here - if they are ones that could be answered based on others experiences. I am in the NCP and found that my recruiter was great - when...

  18. I'm an RN already, can I join?

    oaktown2 replied to EricaSAFJAF's topic in Government, Military

    I believe that at this point all branches require a BSN. If you were to do a RN-BSN program then you could definitely look into joining. There is a sticky at the bottom of the gov/military forum...

  19. NCP Interview and Physical

    oaktown2 replied to GuelnRn's topic in Government, Military

    bmichellejoyner - you are talking to a health care recruiter, right? if you are just trying to find out if they are still taking people, you could try calling another hc recruiter that doesn't deal...

  20. NCP Interview and Physical

    oaktown2 replied to GuelnRn's topic in Government, Military

    bmichellejoyner - if your recruiter is working with you - go with it. I believe the Navy is closed, but I have no clue for the Army as there hasn't been much discussion on the Army's NCP recently....

  21. August 2012 COT

    oaktown2 replied to MsRN2You's topic in Government, Military

    ATLRN0828 - maybe it is a student thing where they would allow you to drill, but not commission. Actually that probably is the key, because at this point I am enlisted so I don't need the security...

  22. August 2012 COT

    oaktown2 replied to MsRN2You's topic in Government, Military

    4E.SM - I believe it depends. I have done my oath of office (swearing in) but I won't be commissioned for another year because I am still in school. (I'm Navy, not AF.) However, with people who are...

  24. New to Navy, ODS, Portsmouth-need any help?

    oaktown2 replied to Sw88tpea's topic in Government, Military

    pattypip - you just need a certain number of messages in order to PM someone. I believe it is 15. Worth getting to as there is a lot of good info and helpful people on this

  25. New to Navy, ODS, Portsmouth-need any help?

    oaktown2 replied to Sw88tpea's topic in Government, Military
