  3. Commissioning Question

    MURunner86 replied to JJTRN's topic in Government, Military

    A lot of this has to do with timing. Theoretically, your recruiter should have put your name on the scroll at the beginning of your application process, because scroll and security clearance take the...

  4. I'm a navy nurse and have a question

    MURunner86 replied to leslie95's topic in Government, Military

    Don't do it. Certain commands have a zero tolerance policy for this....even if you're not attached to the same

  5. Physical Exam at ODS

    MURunner86 replied to Oldlove's topic in Government, Military

    It isn't a physical at all. All you will have done is prenancy test if female, titers drawn, you may get some immunizations, drug test and

  6. How long after turning in application package to Navy Nurse Corps

    MURunner86 replied to singsongRN's topic in Government, Military

    I can only speak from my experience. My packet went to board around 20 July. I didn't hear back for almost 10 days, then I waited another 2 weeks for orders, and then 3 more weeks until I went to

  7. Current Army ROTC Nursing Student

    MURunner86 replied to wxwamm's topic in Government, Military

    ACTUALLY...this can happen, and is what almost happened to me. I had a 3.5 year ROTC scholarship and my MS3 year (Junior) they told me that the only position they had open for me was in the national...

    MURunner86 replied to bone24_corleone's topic in Government, Military

    What is this requirement, just out of curiosity....? Are you a US citizen? Your english isn't so

  9. Direct Commission into Navy Nurse Corps

    MURunner86 replied to TSebald2011's topic in Government, Military

    Honestly, working in the civilian side before coming in can only benefit you. All the new grads I started have to deal with so much, not only learning how to be in the military but also how to be a...

  10. Direct Commission into Navy Nurse Corps

    MURunner86 replied to TSebald2011's topic in Government, Military

    I meant 8 months from the first call I made to my recruiter until the time I went to ODS. I first called my recruiter in January to start the application process and went to ODS in September. I went...

  11. Direct Commission into Navy Nurse Corps

    MURunner86 replied to TSebald2011's topic in Government, Military

    Perhaps. Because it is the beginning of the fiscal year, money is available and they pick people up. However don't get too anxious. I would say the median time from initial contact with recruiter to...

  12. Navy Nurse Corp Info

    MURunner86 replied to Blessedone1's topic in Government, Military

    If you really want to join the military and gain life experience, go Active. The Reserves isn't going to do anything for you except keep you near your family and some extra cash in your pocket. Just...

  13. Anyone recently graduating from ODS

    MURunner86 replied to Purple_Demon_RN's topic in Government, Military

    My board met in late July, and I think I heard back the first week of August. They can't officially tell you until your commission is signed off on, which takes about 7 working days to go up to...

  14. General Navy Interview question

    MURunner86 replied to SailorWifey's topic in Government, Military

    I did one, on the phone, with a LCDR and a

  15. Direct Commission into Navy Nurse Corps

    MURunner86 replied to TSebald2011's topic in Government, Military

    I do think it would make a difference. It would put you head and shoulders above your peers. The Navy is trying to bring in experienced, certified nurses now due to the downsizing taking place. That,...

  16. Direct Commission into Navy Nurse Corps

    MURunner86 replied to TSebald2011's topic in Government, Military

    Do you have your PCCN? (the pediatric equivalent to CCRN) When I applied to the Navy, I had about 8 months of ICU experience, was working on my MSN, and graduated with a 3.91 GPA. I obtained my CCRN...

  17. Anyone recently graduating from ODS

    MURunner86 replied to Purple_Demon_RN's topic in Government, Military

    Hehe, what would you like to know? I just graduated 14 OCT. Ask away

  18. Navy NCP Motivational Statement

    MURunner86 replied to B_rac777's topic in Government, Military

    I will tell you I based my motivational statement (as a direct commission nurse corps officer) on HONOR, COURAGE, and COMMITMENT and how I exemplify the Navy's core values. I think you could organize...

  19. Graduating BSN, then ODS right after..need advice

    MURunner86 replied to VentcSN's topic in Government, Military

    deftonez...do not do this. PLEASE. I had prior service Navy corpsmen (who knew how to wear the uniform!!!) in my ODS class who ended up buying duplicates of things they had brought. ODS is a training...

  20. I need info! AF & Navy :)

    MURunner86 replied to ElizEub:)'s topic in Government, Military

    Okay, so I am a Navy nurse too, I'll try to give you the nitty gritty. Nursing in the Navy right now is very very competitive. The Navy is supposed to downsize 30% in the next year. So in turn,...

  21. Graduating BSN, then ODS right after..need advice

    MURunner86 replied to VentcSN's topic in Government, Military

    I was not a typical applicant. I worked for nearly a year and a half as an ICU nurse before getting my commission. However, it was about 8 months from the time I contacted recruiter until the day I...

  22. Graduating BSN, then ODS right after..need advice

    MURunner86 replied to VentcSN's topic in Government, Military

    I will tell you that probably within the first 24 hours of your class convening your class officer will weigh everyone in the class. If you are out of standards you will be on remedial PT until you...

  23. Graduating BSN, then ODS right after..need advice

    MURunner86 replied to VentcSN's topic in Government, Military

    Well, I just graduated from ODS 14 OCT so I can tell you what it's like to be a NEW Nurse Corps officer. ODS has changed a lot, so if your recruiter fed you some crap about it being a cakewalk, don't...

  24. ODS Uniforms

    MURunner86 replied to NewNavyRN's topic in Government, Military

    Izzy, Do you pay for that all at once or is it broken up??

  25. ODS Uniforms

    MURunner86 replied to NewNavyRN's topic in Government, Military

    I was told it was around 1400. The list on the OTCN website says it's around 14-1600. I'm just going to have it in my account, because I'm a recent college grad, I have no credit, I'm sure I'll get...
