Timeline to Commissioning

Published

Specializes in Neuro, Surgical, Trauma and ICU..

I am so happy to finally be on the other side of the worry group. LOL

I know we have several applicants on the board and I wanted to share my timeline and process.

Now here are some factors that may have affected my application that may or may not affect yours so each individual is different and your process can be slower or faster than mines. First of all even though I have a BSN, I have commissioned Medical service Corps (Social work) which is what my Masters degree is in. But here is the my timeline. I also encourage other commissioned officers from any branch to post your timeline rather you have commissioned yet or not so we can help others get an idea of how things go through the process. :clown:
