  1. FY2014 Navy Nurse Corps Direct Accession

    I was told from a reliable source that there will be no DA for FY14 and FY15. I hope that isn't the case but I was encouraged to apply to the reserves. I was told that if I apply to the reserves that...

  4. FY2014 Navy Nurse Corps Direct Accession

  7. FY2014 Navy Nurse Corps Direct Accession

    I was told that certain scholarship programs have been given the green light but none that are affiliated with nursing. I have personally been trying to get all of the overtime that I can get! It is...
  8. FY2014 Navy Nurse Corps Direct Accession

    Just had to sign a few forms that needed to be updated/corrected. This "busy work" is kinda taking my mind off of the fact that the board has not yet met and reviewed a single kit. My recruiter did...

  12. FY2014 Navy Nurse Corps Direct Accession

    Not sure about the direct accessions. I do however, have a friend who submitted a packet for Army HSPS and was just recently (this week) accepted. I would think that all branches of the military...

  15. FY2014 Navy Nurse Corps Direct Accession

    vinstafa: for some reason I am unable to reply to your pm. I just got off the phone with my recruiter. He said that the Navy hasn't even released the "numbers" yet or if they are even going to accept...

    I'm 99.99% positive my packet is good to go. I'm supposed to hear from my recruiter today to get the confirmation. I can only imagine how busy he is however, in my mind I am the only one he is working...

  22. FY2014 Navy Nurse Corps Direct Accession

    vinstafa is right. The Navy only counts experience post BSN. I also agree with GuelnRn, start the process ASAP. My recruiter said that is a 6 month (sometimes more) process. Speaking of the long...
