SFC JIMENEZ

NBerry, ROTC (if you can get in) is a great option. The reason I think its great is because you have a CHOICE. When you graduate you can go either Active Duty, Reserve or National Guard. Full tuition and either a Full time or Part time committmen...

Yes, Im checking to see if they would accept an ADN/ASN RN who has a Bach. degree as a 70B/67A (Health Care Admin. Asst. which is an Officer). If they do then you can apply for the STRAP if it is offered to those who are not a 66 series. I am checki...

Yes, for those interested in the IPAP here is the website: http://www.usarec.army.mil/armypa/ BUT, for most RNs - getting your NP is a better option (opinion of majority RNs I deal with) - more pros than cons. ALSO, if you happen to have another degr...

ALCON, Things have changed drastically since my Feb post : ( For Active Duty they now require 2 years experience before you can apply for a position. For Reserve, they are no longer taking ADN/ASN RNs. The STRAP is still available, but ONLY for cur...

Not sure about the 50. I was told there was 100. Personally, I think you have a great shot at getting in. But, thats just me : )

Who is your Recruiter out there?

I didnt mean to insinuate only a few slots, only that we put a few Reserve RNs on Active Duty. Last year there were 100 Active Duty Nursing slots available. I presume that it will be the same this year.

ArmyRn, Each year we get new slots for Active/Reserve. This current FY we put quite a few Reserve Nurses on Active Duty. We have a few scheduled for the new FY. New RNs/Reserve RNs/PS RNs are all competing for the same slots. What OP??

Nope, never been stationed in Hawaii : ( What is the name of the AMEDD Recruiter you are working with?

ARmyRN, With your age and service years you are good. Are you in Hawaii?? I see that you stated 66H, are you currently in the Reserve?

ArmyRN, Every Recruiter has their opinion but I dont like using the word "gamble" when talking to a potential applicant. I just put in a 49 yr old PA who had 13 yrs prior service. When putting together packets there is no seperate board/pool for ...

BABE RN, When you refer to "batchmates" I take it that you are referring to your BSN school mates? Am I correct? If indeed it is that then your previous school mates would have had to received an equivalent BSN or a MSN from an accredited school ...

Babe RN, What nursing school did you graduate from? When you worked in the ED, was that as a RN?

Jeager, Here are the answers to your questions. 1. As a brand new 2d LT, as long as your Head Nurse is confident that you meet the qualifications and experience you can become a Charge Nurse in as little as 6 months. For Civilian sector it takes ...

Kramer, Ive talked to others in your situation and they have contacted schools like University of Phoenix and West Coast University (private schools) to see how much more they have to do to get a BSN. Some have been told it would only take as littl...
