studRNA

does anyone have any information or input( asside from the schools own website) regarding Westcoast University in CA/ TX (DALLAS)?

I don't know what branch toto is in but since I have been in the NAVY (4 years enlisted) and 5 years as a Officer, it is awesome. I went in the reserves as a 01 fresh out off of my bsn, went to that ODS that toto was talking about and I drill in San Diego, CA during my monthly drill periods. I have also gone to JAPAN for my two weeks that actually was three weeks (at my request). My advice to you if you are considering the NAVY, get EVERYTHING you can out of them, because they are going to milk you for everything you got. What do I mean? I got them to pay a good majority of my student loans back from my BSN, ANDDDDD, as part of my package terms, the NAVY paid for my CRNA school after I gave them a year of ICU time during drill. Drill is morning PT 20 min run, pushups, situps etc..easy easy, then breakfast and report to the hospital or clinic. If you can't make drill for some reason you may request to do it somewhere else (closer) or at another date, just be warned it's like a balance, if you don't do your time at the end of the year the usually tack it on to your two week drill to make up for it, and it goes as a black mark in your service record. As for me being a CRNA, I sit for two maybe three relatively small cases on my daily drill and am usually logging in a typical day... maybe 6-8 hrs. Best of luck to you.... Go for it...you will love it!
