Very good to know, I appreciate the comment. Good luck with the rest of your application.

This is my first post on this website but every time I google something about military nursing it brings me here. So.. I have a bachelors in biology (~3.2 gpa) and am in the process of finishing up my last prerequisites and have submitted my application for Spring 2015 to nursing school. If I get accepted I am very interested in military nursing, specifically in the Navy. From what I have read there are two ways in: NCP or commission after you're finished with nursing school. I would rather sign up after I have finished nursing school but I am not opposed to the NCP or reserves as well. It seems that the only way to get into the Navy fresh out of school is through the NCP as well. However, I feel that I am not competitive with an average biology gpa. My prerequisite gpa (chem,anatomy, physio, algebra, couple other things) is 3.8 or so but I've also heard that isn't necessarily competitive as well to get selected if they use just pre-nursing/nursing gpa. My question: Are my assumptions correct, should I work a few years to boost my resume or do I have a chance through NCP, reserves or active right after school? After a bit of research it seems I am not competitive at all right now and that my only way in is to work up my experience and skills on the civilian side of things and then see what happens. Thanks for your time.
