I hear 65 spots for FY2016.. I just started my packet as well but will be submitted or as he he says should be submitted by Sept 10. Good luck to you. Just wanted to clarify with you guys tho and make sure that I have my information correct as far as commitment goes. If it's a year in NCP; it's 5 years active duty right?

I'm a bit in a bit of a time crunch. I only started my package last month to submit for September 10. We'll see how this goes but I graduated this May from a 2 year nursing program and I passed my NCLEX this past July. Just recently got accepted to an RN to BSN program and should be finishing that up within a year. I'm still waiting on my acceptance letter tho although I've been pre-accepted (they said they have to wait for my license number until they can give it to me and that alone takes a while). My recruiter was kind enough to start my packet without it. Anybody have any any tips for the interview portion? I have mine scheduled for next week.

Hey there, I'm also applying for the NCP. My recruiter has been pretty good with getting back to me and I actually just started my packet today. Have you tried calling him? They're usually good with phone calls. He said that the deadline is September 10 for FY2016. Try to get a hold of him soon bc the paperwork is quite extensive. It looks like it'll take a month b/w all the paperwork, the interview and the physical. Good luck!

I'm in the exact same boat as you lol I'm also 23 graduating come May with an AD in nursing and have been working as an ER tech for a year now. Prior to that I was working as an aide in their float pool so I've had experience in ICU, tele, med-surg, and ortho. I am planning on going into an RN to BSN program right after and I too have been looking into Army ROTC. The problem is that most RN to BSN programs want you to have your license when you apply and usually takes only 1 and a 1/2 years to complete if full time. In order to apply for army rotc, you must have at least 2 yrs left and be a full time student. You also have to participate in LTC the summer prior to your start in the fall and by that time you should have been accepted to your RN to BSN program to ensure that you get accepted as a nursing cadet. I guess it all depends on when you take the NCLEX and pass and when exactly LTC is held so that you can apply to an RN to BSN program, get accepted and then apply to rotc all in time to participate in LTC over the SUMMER? I was just planning on maybe minoring in psychology so that I have that last semester to finish the ROTC program. I haven't spoken to a recruiter yet but, as you can tell, I've been thinking about this a lot and trying to get all the facts before I speak to someone. As for Air Force ROTC, you can only apply as an incoming freshman. They don't have a program like LTC so that you can join in the middle of your college career. Anyways if you get any more information about applying to an RN TO BSN program with the Army ROTC program can you post it on here?? We can help each other out LOL
