    Hello 🙂 I was recently accepted to the Navy Nurse Corps and I'm making this thread in hopes to connect with other nurses who are or already have been. I just found out my first duty station...

    Unfortunately, this was an issue for many. Maybe reach out to your recruiter about this to see if you can be sponsored earlier somehow...but I didn't receive my CAC until week 4 or 5 of ODS even...

    Direct accession bonus is $50k (at least it was last year, unsure if it has gone up) for a 4 year commitment. If you're like a critical care certified nurse I believe they can get up to $75k (don't...

    My process took about 1 year from initial meeting with recruiter to signing the commissioning paperwork. MEPS was simple, just wear appropriate undergarments (and socks!) and be honest. MEPS took me...

    Scoontz replied to Scoontz's topic in Government, Military

    The interviews were hard for my recruiter to find someone available. People are busy but the two nurses I talked to had a lot of wisdom to share and did not seem like they were in a rush. It was a...

    Scoontz replied to Scoontz's topic in Government, Military

    They gave me 8 months, 22 days so that was a surprise I didn't think I'd get any for being under 2 years of experience. I assume I'll be M/S but the detailer said it could change when I get to...

    Scoontz replied to Baker93's topic in School, College Programs

    Hi Baker93! I just submitted my application. Don't feel bad though, that's just the average accepted score, meaning there had to be some scores lower than 85 and some higher :) be positive! You have a...

    I live in Suffolk as well. Northern part. It's strange that the letters are spaced far apart because they weren't like this last year. I hope you guys get your letters tomorrow!! & thank you so...

    Scoontz replied to FutureRN0425's topic in School, College Programs

    Mindy, I'm not 100% sure but from what I've seen in the past threads, some people get upset because someone can wait until last minute to drop out of the program and then you'd replace them, which is...

    I'm applying to Sentara this semester as well. I absolutely love their program and that you get a bachelor's instead of an associates. i have looked at other programs but they usually require a first...

    I haven't re-taken the TEAS yet! I'm going to re-take it after I finish my classes this semester. That is funny how we both got 76's! I'm definitely hoping to go up about 15 points which is incredibly...

    I was missing ENG 112 and BIO 150 but had the other ones done. But don't be nervous! You have an extremely strong HESI score. I just wish I would've taken the time to study for

    I tested at the Norfolk location because that was closest for me. It was kind of hard to find because my GPS didn't bring me directly there. I don't believe there is a time period to take the test a...
