Hello everyone, I haven't been on this forum in a while but I saw that slots for the NCP are filling up fast. I don't graduate until May 2015. Do you believe I still have a chance of getting into the NCP program? Thanks for your help!

Wow you guys are way ahead of me on this! I just contacted my recruiter for the first time today! I also graduate in May of 2015 and am looking to join the NCP. From what I see, it's very competitive. Hopefully I still have a chance even though I gue...

Thanks everyone! The recruiter called me earlier and left a message on my voice mail. For some reason, I'm nervous to call him back! I'm not really sure what I should say, any suggestions? Needless to say, thank you! I will continue with this in hop...

I'm not commissioned or anything, but as LunahRN stated, you have to have your BSN in order to commission as an officer in the Navy. You can go the enlisted route, but you wouldn't be able to use your LPN unless they put you as a corpsman or somethin...

Hi everyone, Sorry if this has been posted already but, I'm very interested in joining the military as a nurse when I graduate with my BSN. I have spoken with the Navy recruiter already and have heard great things! I haven't been able to get in touch...

Thanks! I was also wondering about the character references. I have met with my recruiter and she told me to start gathering references. However, she didn't give me much of a guideline or who to use & what they should write the reference about. D...

Hi everyone! I've decided to get more information about the NCP with the Navy. I am going to be contacting the recruiter tomorrow to schedule an appointment! The officer recruiting station is about 4 hours away so it will be sometime later this month...

I spoke to the recruiter today and she seemed to think I have a good chance at getting accepted. Crossing my fingers anyways! We're going to try and get my app in for the December board. From what she said today, it looks like their are only 22 spots...

What happens if you fall below a 3.0 GPA during the program? Do you get removed from the program entirely or are you required to go enlisted? I read the application someone on the Internet but was confused by what they meant about keeping the GPA.

Hi everyone. I know I've been posting a lot of questions lately. However, it has come to my attention that I may have an automatic disqualification for the Navy. I was wondering if any other service members or potential members have been diagnosed wi...

Thanks HM2Doc, I scheduled an appointment with the doctor to see if I can talk to her and see exactly what she determined. She didnt put me on any actual medication other than birth control. Therefore, I'm assuming the medication requirement wouldn't...

Thanks Linnaete! I'm definitely getting in touch with the recruiter this week to schedule and appointment. I just need to figure out how to make my motivational statement fully express why I want to join! I appreciate the comments and help :) Good lu...

Hi everyone! I enjoyed reading your posts about your acceptance to NCP! Congratulations :) I was wondering if I could ask you a few questions about the process? 1. If I graduate in May 2015, when should I start doing my application if I just want the...

Thanks Linnaete! I'm definitely planning on doing that. I've always heard to never give up until you've used every resource possible!

I definitely understand what you mean there! The jobs were slim whenever we were stationed there. Not sure about federal jobs of course, but regular jobs were somewhat hard to find as well! Hopefully everything works out for your family! I'm sure you...

Wow thanks for all of the information PalmHarborMom! I appreciate the advice about the NCP vs DA. I wasn't even considering that I would have to compete with experienced nurses if I chose that direction. I will definitely take all of your advice when...

I see it has been a while since anyone commented on this but I thought I'd comment. I know you said you were looking at Air Force, but have you considered the Navy? I'm currently talking to a recruiter about the NCP. It's a program for BSN students. ...

I don't have any advice as far as the medical aspect. However, my husband was stationed there when he was in the Marines. It's a pretty small base compared to some of the others. The hospital itself seems nice from what I have seen of it. I only went...

Thank you so much! I don't know why I was so anxious about it. I guess I was just over thinking and worried it would stop me from pursuing the Nurse Corps. I do take birth control because of the hormonal imbalance so I guess I'll just leave it at tha...

Thanks midinphx! I appreciate the advice! I just worry a lot about things and don't want to withhold information that may come back to bite me later on for some reason. Guess we'll see how it works out!

Thank you so much for this post! It has a ton of valuable information. I'm seriously considering the Navy Nurse Corps and all of the responses have given me a lot of information to consider! Thanks to everyone!

I graduate May 2015 :) I'm so excited! I started my first clinical two weeks ago and I loved it! Good luck to everyone else on here :)

I hope you find some happiness in the field again. I believe if you really feel nursing is for you deep inside, keep pushing forward. It could just be that the hospital environment there is bad. Don't give up on your dreams if it's really what you wa...
