  6. What to expect with Navy NCP program??

    williams84 replied to confusedstudent_88's topic in Government, Military

    It was actually a cumulative GPA thing. I had a previous degree from years ago that had I just barely graduated at a 2.5. For some reason (probably to be competitive), they wanted to include all of my...

  7. What to expect with Navy NCP program??

    williams84 replied to confusedstudent_88's topic in Government, Military

  11. Navy nurse questions!

    williams84 replied to May2113's topic in Government, Military

    It's actually a pretty great program. You go to college and study nursing like a normal college student, but you also take a few classes every semester that teach you the ways of the Navy. They...

  12. Navy nurse questions!

    williams84 replied to May2113's topic in Government, Military

  14. FY2014 Navy Nurse Corps Direct Accession

    williams84 replied to bebejasmine2002's topic in Government, Military

    PennyMc, I would start by locating your nearest Healthcare recruiter. Don't talk to the enlisted guys because they have no jurisdiction on officers. I live in Milwaukee and my recruiter is based out...

    williams84 replied to bebejasmine2002's topic in Government, Military

  17. UWM nursing program

    williams84 replied to SELnurse's topic in General Nursing

  19. UWM nursing program

    williams84 replied to SELnurse's topic in General Nursing

    I honestly think there are more 2nd degree students because UWM is one of the few schools in SE Wisconsin that will take credits from previous degrees. I know Marquette would make you start from...

    2nd degree, veteran, science gpa was a 3.8. I can't tell you why you didn't get in, but have you calculated just your science gpa? When I was applying they said that was a big number that they took...

    williams84 replied to emilyvv5's topic in Government, Military
