  1. Army Direct Commission FY12

    ArmyRN789 replied to nurseprc's topic in Government, Military

    So any idea what the time between when you are notified and your RFO comes through would be normally? This part of the process is pretty new for

  2. Army Direct Commission FY12

    ArmyRN789 replied to nurseprc's topic in Government, Military

    Lunah, would you say it took that long because you were waiting for a BOLC seat? I would think those who are just going to a duty station (like myself, hopefully) would not take as long to get

  3. New Army Nurse!

    ArmyRN789 replied to teddy4987's topic in Government, Military

    As an FYI, the Army will also be going to 1.5 miles, but they are adding several additional stations to the PT test. It will be more combat oriented. That is the new test they are currently fielding....

  4. Prior Service 11B to Reserve/Guard RN

    ArmyRN789 replied to NickG's topic in Government, Military

    Generally the services don't mix. The exceptions, that I know of, are Bethesda and Landstuhl in Germany. I have worked at

    ArmyRN789 replied to NickG's topic in Government, Military

    Keller Army Community Hospital is at West Point. I think that would be the closest one to

  6. Prior Service 11B to Reserve/Guard RN

    ArmyRN789 replied to NickG's topic in Government, Military

    I have one, but he doesn't deal with active duty accessions. He has been an invaluable resource

  7. Almost in the ANCP?

    ArmyRN789 replied to joshdwarhawks's topic in Government, Military

    I have HEARD, and that means I don't really know for sure, that medical waivers are pretty hard to come by these days. And if you get one, they may take those that don't have them over those that do....

    Lunah - do you still have your contact at

  9. Prior Service 11B to Reserve/Guard RN

    ArmyRN789 replied to NickG's topic in Government, Military

    I heard the same thing, but it was for active duty. Of those 300, 100 were selected. Again, this was for active duty, not Reserves. No idea what the numbers were on that

  10. ROTC vs ANCP

    ArmyRN789 replied to hello sammi's topic in Government, Military

    The AMEDD Enlisted Commissioning program was for soldiers already enlisted that could finish nursing school in two years. It was an awesome program and I'm grateful that I was selected. I think this...

  11. New Army Nurse!

    ArmyRN789 replied to teddy4987's topic in Government, Military

    Everyone thinks that running is a natural thing and to run away from a scary animal, it might be. But to run for time, distance and maximize both while reducing effort and increasing endurance...

  12. Prior Service 11B to Reserve/Guard RN

    ArmyRN789 replied to NickG's topic in Government, Military

    Are you talking about active duty or National Guard/Reserve? If you are talking Reserves, I have heard that the selection board is in October so I doubt you could complete a packet before then. It is...

  13. New Army Nurse!

    ArmyRN789 replied to teddy4987's topic in Government, Military

    Believe me, I know what you mean. I have never naturally been a runner. Find something that motivates you like good music or a scenic area. Maybe find a partner to run with. That always helps. The...

    There's one for the iPhone

  15. New Army Nurse!

    ArmyRN789 replied to teddy4987's topic in Government, Military

    Same here! It sounds dumb, but just start doing pushups, sit-ups and running. Try to run outside as much as you can though. I can send you a PT card if you need

  16. ROTC vs ANCP

    ArmyRN789 replied to hello sammi's topic in Government, Military

    Well I went to nursing school with the AECP. It paid for everything and I got full pay and benefits while I was in school. With ROTC, you only get a monthly stipend and don't accrue any active duty...

    ArmyRN789 replied to teddy4987's topic in Government, Military

    Wow, indeed! You were very lucky to have slipped in like that! Now just make sure you pass that PT

  19. ROTC vs ANCP

    ArmyRN789 replied to hello sammi's topic in Government, Military

    I have heard that they are cutting the ANCP program to save money this year, but please don't take my word for it. Get in touch with an AMEDD recruiter in your area. Also, if you are a single parent,...

  20. military nurse tips

    ArmyRN789 replied to nora_11's topic in Government, Military

    It is VERY hard to get into the Army on the enlisted side right now. The talk over on the recruiter boards is that they are only taking special forces applicants. The Navy might be a good shot though....

  21. Medical Waivers?

    ArmyRN789 replied to chyna016's topic in Government, Military

    The answer will always be no if you don't try. And you can always get a waiver for age. You will probably find out pretty quickly during your physical if you need a waiver, but if your test results...

    ArmyRN789 replied to nurseprc's topic in Government, Military

    Ah, ok. They must have a different board for Reserves

    Thanks Lunah! You are an awesome resource. So great that you came back here even after you got in to help

  24. Army Direct Commission FY12

    ArmyRN789 replied to nurseprc's topic in Government, Military

    Just confirmed with my recruiter the board is meeting on 1 November this year and the deadline is NLT 16 Oct to submit your packet. Lunah - how long after your board met did it take for you to be...

    ArmyRN789 replied to nurseprc's topic in Government, Military

    I have completed my packet and will submit this year also. Are you guys sure about the October board?? Someone I know who works at HRC has told me the board will meet in
