Thanks. I have a bunch of interviews at the end of this month in almost every area of nursing possible in my area. I know that the military is where I would like to end up (prior-service), but since they are overmanned, I can't seem to talk to any recruiters. Does anyone know if the chances of picking up a reserve commission is less competitive than active duty?

I'm new around here, but I've been doing some research on the reserves (all branches) and I was looking for any updated information. I am wondering how much experience a nurse needs to have before they can put together a packet for the board. I read that the Army is requiring 6 months, but would that be enough to commission as a specialty (i.e., ED, OR, etc.) or would you need the certification? I am interested in all branches, even though I know that they are different in their own ways. Thanks for your help in advance!
