    Navymm1swaw replied to BundokSaint's topic in Government, Military

    Deykalmevron, I am still active duty and due to retire in November. I was, when highly active on this website, a Navy Recruiter for the Navy Reserves Medical Corps. I still receive emails and look...

  2. can I apply for the Navy NCP if in the Navy Reserves?

    Navymm1swaw replied to GwenD's topic in Government, Military

    I forgot to add, if you did want to go NCP, which is an active duty program, you would need to be released from the reserves. Not so easy to do before your reserve contract is up. The NOSC CO (Navy...

    Navymm1swaw replied to GwenD's topic in Government, Military

    Navymm1swaw replied to chey143's topic in Government, Military

    Darts, what Frick is saying is true, you must have your BSN and RN. If you have those, then the reqs for commission state at least three months of experience and be currently employed as a nurse. If...

    Navymm1swaw replied to chey143's topic in Government, Military

    Friction, you will need to contact a local Medical recruiter. There is usually an officer recruiter at each NOSC. If not, then your local Enlisted recruiting office should be able to but you in...

    Navymm1swaw replied to SailorWifey's topic in Government, Military

    With a degree in Nursing, it needs to be a nursing career. If you need something now, as stated before, check in with the Active duty programs. I promise you, it is probably not like what you think....

    Navymm1swaw replied to SailorWifey's topic in Government, Military

    You are very welcome. Reading back, I noticed numerous spelling and grammatical errors in my posts yesterday. I apologize for that. I was not at 100% when posting. I was very tired (long boring...

    Navymm1swaw replied to SailorWifey's topic in Government, Military

    Since you are so close to the hospital, have your recruiter take you over there and speak with some Active duty nurses to see how they like or dislike serving on Active duty. My applicant have found...

    Navymm1swaw replied to SailorWifey's topic in Government, Military

    Navymm1swaw replied to SailorWifey's topic in Government, Military

    Navymm1swaw replied to nora_11's topic in Government, Military

    The Navy Doesn't have Enlisted LPNs. Having 15 college credits is not really a REQUIREMENT, but it does make it a whole lot easier to get you in. GED applicants are not really being taken right now,...

    Navymm1swaw replied to SailorWifey's topic in Government, Military

    1) what is the process after submitting your application? I have seen people mention being "professionally reccommended." How does that work? I recently transferred from Reserve medical officer...

    Navymm1swaw replied to BundokSaint's topic in Government, Military

    It is hard to believe, but with the economy the way it is, the Active duty side fills up soo quick, there is no need to pull from the Reserves. In the past, it was a little easier. I always told my...

    MBRN74- all forces will likely be redoing the bonus instruction at the end of this month for the new FY. Bonus or "special pay" will either change or stay the same. It depends on needs of the...

  16. ?s Benefits-Reserve vs Active Duty (BSN)

    Navymm1swaw replied to wildcatRNBSN2010's topic in Government, Military

    I agree with what the Army was saying. We here in the Navy are very much the same. The main difference is whether you want to work with Army personnel or Navy and Marine personnel and duty locations...

    Navymm1swaw replied to chey143's topic in Government, Military

    For the Navy, Yes. You must have a completed BSN and RN for both Active and Reserve programs. I know the Army had a program that would take an ASN with RN and send them to school to complete their...

  21. How do you go about getting letters of recommendation when your under contract?

    Navymm1swaw replied to mmcgorrian's topic in Government, Military

    Not too sure about the AF, but here in the Navy Reserve, if you have fears about speaking with your current employer, you can just write a "hand-written-statement" discussing why you do not want your...

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

    Navymm1swaw replied to chey143's topic in Government, Military

    I forgot to add that with a specialty, the age thing is not too important. With a needed specialty, you can get in at a much later age. You just will not be able to retire. If you are good with...

    Navymm1swaw replied to chey143's topic in Government, Military

    I am a Reserve Medical recruiter and right now, technically, the age cut off is 35 in order to retire (per PA). The Program manager usually will not have any reservation about submitting before 40th...
