  2. Area of hospital with minimal vomit...

    oaktown2 replied to alxndria.mrqtt's topic in General Nursing

    I have a pretty sensitive gag reflex and worried about how I would be when I started clinicals. I found that I was more focused on the task, ie cleaning up, that I didn't think about what I was...

  3. Navy NCP, Previous Bachelors, and GPA

    oaktown2 replied to williams84's topic in Government, Military

    I can only speak to my experience applying for NCP. I have a long educational history and they asked for all of it. I know the Army only requests transcripts for the past 7 years, but the Navy...

  4. I need info! AF & Navy :)

    oaktown2 replied to ElizEub:)'s topic in Government, Military

    If you were to do a an ABSN program, you can apply to the NCP program as soon as you get your acceptance. If you do an ELMSN you actually will probably need to get experience before you can apply for...

  5. Requirments for the Navy Nurses Candadite Prigram?

    oaktown2 replied to sabrina16's topic in Government, Military

    I would recommend keeping your GPA as high as possible and contacting a healthcare recruiter as soon as you have your acceptance into the nursing program. It is competitive and once the slots are...

  6. To List a Master's or Not To List? That Is The Question

    oaktown2 replied to RNtobeinSoCal's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I would also say to list it. It is part of what you have accomplished, even if it is non nursing. Though I would state what it is in so if anyone ever does get confused it isn't because you were...

    oaktown2 replied to ATLRN0828's topic in Government, Military

    Actually it is the Navy Nurse Candidate Program and I believe my packet went to the board on Dec 9th. So hopefully I will hear something soon. It has been a long

  9. Navy Nurse Corp Info

    oaktown2 replied to Blessedone1's topic in Government, Military

    If you are interested, I would definitely get started as soon as you can. Starting the process doesn't lock you in to anything and once the spots are filled that's it. Once you have your acceptance...

  10. Navy Nurse Corp Info

    oaktown2 replied to Blessedone1's topic in Government, Military

    There are also lots of people who are also wanting to get into a nurse corps and so recruiters may not be as interested if you are stating that you would need a waiver. If it is something that you...

  11. Is Anyone Out there an Evergreen Grad.? Need advice!

    oaktown2 replied to RoseyLove's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Hey - not sure if you are still in the application process. I am also an Evergreen grad. I had pretty good success with getting into programs (though didn't apply to OHSU, but I would imagine that...

  12. BSN Graduate planning to enter US Navy

    oaktown2 replied to bone24_corleone's topic in Government, Military

    If you are able to get to a testing center and you are eligible, you can take the NCLEX. Whether or not you are in the military is irrelevant. But the board is the one who gives you the...

  13. BSN Graduate planning to enter US Navy

    oaktown2 replied to bone24_corleone's topic in Government, Military

    Sure, but you won't be nurse in the military. If you enlist you will take the ASVAB and your score and the positions available will determine what you do. Even if you become a corpsman, you won't be...

  14. BSN Graduate planning to enter US Navy

    oaktown2 replied to bone24_corleone's topic in Government, Military

    If you want to be a nurse in the Navy you have to have your RN license and be a graduate of a NLN or CCNE accredited BSN program. I imagine if the BRN is asking you for something that you can't...

  15. Joining the Navy while in nursing school?

    oaktown2 replied to Dude2's topic in Government, Military

    6-8 is pretty standard, though there are exceptions. I just finished my kit and I have been working on it since Feb, though I had some delays that aren't typical. Some of it depends on how quickly...

    oaktown2 replied to SailorWifey's topic in Government, Military

  17. Joining the Navy while in nursing school?

    oaktown2 replied to Dude2's topic in Government, Military

    The Navy has a Nurse Candidate Program for those in an NLN or CCNE accredited BSN program. You can start your application once you have an acceptance to nursing school and they provide you with a...

  20. Should I get my BSN before joining Navy Reserves?

    oaktown2 replied to chey143's topic in Government, Military

    oaktown2 replied to The Tiki's topic in Government, Military

  22. Joining nurses associations/subscribing to journals

    oaktown2 replied to nrse20's topic in Cardiac

    In my nursing school, they recommended that we join the ANA and then the organization for whatever our specialty area is. Since you are new, maybe you just want to start with ANA and then join the...

  23. NROTC or NCP

    oaktown2 replied to eta15's topic in Government, Military

    The programs are pretty different. NCP doesn't require anything of you while you are in school other than to maintain a 3.0. NROTC will require you be involved throughout the time you are in the...

    oaktown2 replied to bleemme's topic in Government, Military

    I hope your recruiter is correct. I just found out that I am missing some medical info so that will slow me down (again). I graduate in May 2013. How about you? Good
