Thanks for the responses! No, there's not a Navy liason that can help with this because I will not be under a commisioning program when I'm going to college. I'm taking a leap of faith by doing this because once I leave my current job, it's 99% guaranteed I can't get back into that job field (we're already overmanned). I could stay in and continue applying for a medical commisioning program, but that could potentialy take years. I want to "fast track" my goals, so I'll be using the GI bill for the program. I'll continue my normal volunteer work, and definitely contact a couple of our hospitals here to see what volunteer programs they have.

Hi everyone, I have to preface this by saying life decisions need to be well planned out. I'm active duty in the Navy, and am planning on getting out in a few months in order to start my prerequisites for BSN. The end goal is to do ROTC and commission in the Nurse Corps. I'm already a student at University of Maryland, so the logical choice is for me to do the prereq's there. I've been reading a lot about how students aren't getting accepted with high grades and TEAS scores, and this makes me wonder what it takes to get accepted. It honestly put me off a little seeing how hard a time people are having (not that it will slow me down any). What can I do to make my application stand out from the crowd? Are they looking for volunteer work, etc? Any help would be appreciated.
