Thanks guys, really helps. I have a meeting with the recruiter next week.

So if I was just in the reserves, but never deployed, I would not qualify for any education program where I would get money towards a higher education?

Hi, Currently I am a nursing student with a plan to join the Navy Reserve as a HM. Once I get my degree, I plan to work as a civilian nurse whilst being in the reserves. If I decide to do the Reserves or not I plan to go on to get my Masters degree and become a CRNA. If I join the reserves, get my degree and go onto CRNA school, with the Post 9/11 Bill help pay for that schooling? I'm unsure what dictates how much (if any) they would pay. Any help or advice is appreciated, and thank you in advance.

My recruiter told me today, that I can join the reserves, and apply for the NCP. If accepted, I would be pulled into the program. Did he lie?

Thanks for the kind words and yes I am still going to do it!! Do you recommend going into the reserves now, and if I get accepted into the NCP, I can just do that? Want to hear more opinions.

Could I work as a civilian nurse with my degree while in the reserves, if I don't get accepted into the Nurse Corps after graduating? Anything else you have to add that could help is much​ appreciated.

That makes sense. Here's a question for you. If I go to bootcamp next summer (8 weeks) and become an reservist, and then graduate with my nursing degree in 2017, when could I start working as a civilian nurse with no further obligation to the Navy?

Just found out I can actually join the reserves, and then continue my application for NCP. That way, if I am accepted into the NCP they will pull me directly into the program and out of the reserves. If for whatever unfortunate reason I get rejected from the NCP, I will still be in the reserves and have the option to apply for Navy Nurse Corps. Any opinions on that? I feel like this is the right thing to do.

I'm currently a freshman in college pursuing a BSN degree. I have talked to an officer recruiter for the NCP (Nurse Candidate Program). I just got my application kit, and am starting to fill it out. Although I am worried that I will be declined because it is highly competitive. I also thought of another idea while looking into all of these confusing programs. My options: Pursue the NCP and hope to be accepted while continuing my BSN degree. Or I thought about joining the Navy Reserve as a (HM) Corpsman, while still getting my BSN and then applying for the Navy Nurse Corps. Is that possible? I am familiar with the Medical Enlisted Commissioning Program, but am not sure if this is what I should be getting into. I don't want to be stuck in a bad situation where I can't do what I want with my future because the military is not letting me transfer to the NNC. As I said, these programs are sometimes confusing, so I hope someone can help. Thank you to anyone who can help.
