I'll be in the ER.

Bethesda

I will be commissioning Oct 2nd and am scheduled to go to ODS in about two weeks!

I need to redo my physical and blood work since its been more than 2 years. Thats how long I've been at this! Other than that, everything else is ok. I haven't heard any specific dates for ODS yet. Still waiting on that. At one point, they were tryin...

Not yet. I need to wait to commission until after Oct. 1st.

J.Jones My specialty is ER/Trauma. I'm pretty sure alternates were selected for all specialties for the most recent boards. I don't think the specialty matters.The only thing I am waiting for right now is getting in touch with the detailer (as that i...

I was an alternate for FY15. I was told last month that I have been selected for commission. There was a plan to have me comissioned by August and to ODS however, that did not go through. I was recently told that I will be comissioned for FY16. I am ...

Currently, I am still an alternate. I just spoke with my recruiter last week and he notified me there are no changes as far as the need for ER nurses. He also is unaware of the number of alternates that were selected so I really am not sure where I s...

I hope so too...

I was told the accession plan as been signed. The numbers were very small this FY. I was selected as an alternate so it's still a waiting game for me. The numbers are : 7 ICU, 2 L&D, 4 midwives, 4 CRNA, 1 med/surf, 1 ER, and 1 Peds. My recruiter ...

Unfortunately, no. He said "no signed accession plan" and that "there are a lot of decisions at a high level that are still being made". If I hear anything I will be sure to let you know!!

I just thought I'd let y'all know that I heard from my recruiter today. No word on an accession plan as of yet so it looks like it's still the waiting game for me. I did hear that rumors that the alternates would be automatically rolled into next FY ...

I was also told I was an alternate but I was told that if I don't get picked up this FY I still have to reapply for next FY. My recruiter said it isn't an automatic guarantee for next year. Still no word on an approved accession plan. I hope we hear ...

Ive been selected as an alternate. Its not a "no" so im not giving yp yet! Im hoping when the accession plan is approved that there is more than one position open for 1945! Best of luck to everyone!! Hopefully I'll be joining those who have been sele...

Just heard from my recruiter thatc shedding to the updates notes, my packet had been reviewed. Now all I have to do is wait patiently for the results. I heard the same time line...sometime in the beginning of December. Good luck to everyone!!

Thank you again for the information you have given us! Its truly appreciated. I guess we will all have answers to our questions inn just a few short weeks. Thank you again LT!

LT- Do you know of any proposed numbers for 1945? Thank you again for the updates!!

I just reached a new record yesterday..18,240 (9.37 miles). I usually average between 12,000-15,000 steps per shift.

I was told the same thing! My packet is "at the board" awaiting review. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for boards being held next week!!

Techs in my ED star IVs and foleys. It is a HUGE help especially when we are slammed!!!

I've learned from last year that things are ever changing. My new motto to live by has been "I'll believe it when I see it". The approved numbers may end up being more than 20. I hope we know by thanksgiving but I'm mentally prepared to wait until Ch...

My packet was at national headquarters by Oct 1 and just earlier this week the program manager requested "extra information". I submitted everything and am currently awaiting for the board to convene. My recruiter told me that boards will not be held...

Congrats!! I was told that I was only able to apply to one branch at a time. Wish I would have known. Unfortunately, I have no choice now but to wait until the boards are held for FY15. I spoke with an Army Nurse Corps recruiter today and she said th...

I agree but I guess they (the Navy) has already had the NCP in the budget...It is an extremely frustrating situation. Best of luck to everyone!

I am personally not doing the reserves. I ultimately want to be active duty. I was told it is almost impossible to transfer from reserves to active duty. I may just wait it out or try another branch. Unfortunately, that means I have to wait until nex...
