  1. NCP program? Graduating in 2015?

    elisabethm replied to CSUnursegirl2b's topic in Government, Military

    I agree with OakTown2. Definitely keep applying. When I was working on my application for the NCP, there were plenty of times when I thought there was no way I'd ever be accepted...but I somehow got...

  2. Military Nurse

    elisabethm replied to MsArroyo's topic in Government, Military

    SoldierNurse22 has really great advice. Definitely try to get into the Nurse Corps while you're in school. It's competitive, but going against already experienced nurses is even harder. You should...

  3. Navy NCP FY2014 'Role call'

    elisabethm replied to StudentForever77's topic in Government, Military

    Hi MG_RNDec13. Welcome to our group! I hope you get to fill out your dream sheet soon. That's one of the things I'm most excited about! I already know what I'm picking - #1. Bethesda #2. San Diego...

  4. Medical Missions for Nurses?????

    elisabethm replied to jinjewl32's topic in General Nursing

    I had a blast at the RAM clinic! It was completely unlike anything I had ever seen before. Watching a normal high school cafeteria get turned into a fully-functional dental and medical clinic (and...

  5. Greetings

    elisabethm replied to ZoeGuzman's topic in Government, Military

    I don't know very much about Army stuff because I was only in ROTC for a semester and a half and I never contracted. (I quit as soon as they said we weren't all getting active because I thought it was...

  6. So who do nurses marry or have as civil partners???

    elisabethm replied to snoopy29's topic in General Nursing

    I love this thread! It is so cute! I'm a student nurse. (one more year till graduation! the end is finally in sight!) My ex-ish person (on/off for a year and a half) is in the U.S. Army's Medical...

  7. What to expect with Navy NCP program??

    elisabethm replied to confusedstudent_88's topic in Government, Military

    If you don't have a health history, MEPs really isn't bad at all. It is very loooong and boring (I think mine was like 5 am to 3 pm), but it isn't difficult or anything. They check your eyes, blood,...

  9. Navy NCP FY2014 'Role call'

    elisabethm replied to StudentForever77's topic in Government, Military

    Well if they're paying you, you're definitely in the system! I'm sure everything is okay and they'll have you complete the dream sheet in due time. It's so exciting how close we all are to graduating...

  10. Greetings

    elisabethm replied to ZoeGuzman's topic in Government, Military

    CarolinaPooh and RayJordan are right. With Army ROTC you are not guaranteed an active duty spot in the nurse corps. I was in my school's Army ROTC program in the fall 2011 semester and for half of the...

  11. Navy NCP FY2014 'Role call'

    elisabethm replied to StudentForever77's topic in Government, Military

    I forwarded the email to you in a PM. It included general information about what's expected of us while we're in the program (e.g., maintaining 3.0 GPA, updating changes in our contact info, etc.). It...

  12. Navy NCP FY2014 'Role call'

    elisabethm replied to StudentForever77's topic in Government, Military

    I just looked at the NCP website (Nurse Candidate Program (Current Students)), and it says that the dream sheets are completed 6-7 months prior to graduation. They should send an email to you with the...

  13. Navy NCP FY2014 'Role call'

    elisabethm replied to StudentForever77's topic in Government, Military

    I'm not sure, but I think we fill out the dream sheets a few months before we graduate. I can see why you would be nervous though. As if graduating wasn't stressful (and exciting!) enough, you've now...

  16. What to expect with Navy NCP program??

    elisabethm replied to confusedstudent_88's topic in Government, Military

    TraumaRNHopeful, CarolinaPooh is right. A lot of times even the recruiters don't know the admissions rate for the NCP. After I was accepted, I asked my recruiter what the numbers had been, and he told...

  17. Navy NCP FY2014 'Role call'

    elisabethm replied to StudentForever77's topic in Government, Military

    I don't think any of us have done the "dream sheets" yet. I think it's normal to fill them out the semester before you

  18. Assignment you learned the most from?

    elisabethm replied to Meraki's topic in General Students

    In our Mental Health Nursing class, we had to do a big mental health assessment (MHA) on one patient from our clinical site. We conducted a long interview, analyzed the patient's records, assessed the...

  19. Class of 2014

    elisabethm replied to Tinkx RN's topic in General Students

    This fall, I'll be taking Peds, OB, and a new elective at my school called Mental Illness in the Movies. (It's about how the media's representation of mental illness affects social policies and stuff....

  20. Medical Missions for Nurses?????

    elisabethm replied to jinjewl32's topic in General Nursing

    StarinTN, this is totally unrelated to OP's post, but I just wanted to thank you for writing this. After reading your post, I googled RAM, and now, just a couple months later, I'll be traveling to...

  21. Taking anatomy and phsiology in the fall?

    elisabethm replied to 5ummer's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi guys! I'm a current nursing student, and I took A&P a few years ago. (Just lurking around this forum...totally rad Friday night.) I second Meeh619's recommendation to start studying muscles....

  22. Should I Stay Or Should I Go????

    elisabethm replied to PookaTown's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would also recommend the traditional option. It's less stressful and less intense than the accelerated. Plus, in the traditional option, you could work during the summers, which would provide extra...

    elisabethm replied to elliotth77's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I'm also a nursing student at UCCS/Beth-El. I have just completed my junior year and will (finally!) be starting my senior year in the fall. I'm in the traditional program. I scored low on my HESI. I...

  24. Current Nursing Student Considering The Military

    elisabethm replied to RayJordan's topic in Government, Military

    To CarolinaPooh: When I was in my school's Army ROTC program last year (August 2011 - March 2012) some students were getting placed in the reserves. Most of the students I know who joined the reserves...

  25. Current Nursing Student Considering The Military

    elisabethm replied to RayJordan's topic in Government, Military

    RayJordan, I've heard that the Army NCP has closed too, and I left my school's ROTC program last March, so I'm sure that the person you spoke with at your school knows more about the program's current...
