USAGPAN Army CRNA FY24

Nursing Students SRNA

Published

Hey there..I'm posting this thread seeing who else is applying for the FY24' June start with the Army USAGPAN. I've applied before and know the rigors of the application, the back and fourth paperwork between the recruiter, endless forms, and signatures. I'm retaking an undergraduate class and a graduate science course per the boards recommendation. 

 

Best of luck to everyone.

Hey everyone! Look forward to meeting you all through this process. I saw a couple people asking about interviews and from what Jana and my recruiter have told me, you'll have to be selected by the Army board before they'll schedule an interview. They do that so they know you pass the Army standards and so that the Army can cut you temporary orders to get your travel and lodging paid for. 

I'll either be doing the interview at Fort Gordon or Fort Bragg based off the distance from TN where I live.

Good luck everyone!

good luck!! we got this !

Joined allnurses to follow this thread. Cvilian surgical ICU nurse in IA. Done with prerequisites and GRE. Finalizing Phase II interview details. Excited to get this show on the road. Anyone here know how the timeline works with Baylor vs Army for civilians? My recruiter said that the Baylor app has to be completed with a decision before the Army's June deadline. That didn't sound right.

Would appreciate any insight on phase II from anyone who has completed it.

Hello! I'm prior service and have done MEPS twice in Miami. Not sure where you are located but I'm assuming it will be similar. Go in very humble, yes ma'am or no sir. They are big on manners! When filling out document do not go ahead. Follow directions exactly as they tell you for everything. Cotton under garments, especially for females. You will duck walk in your under garments infront of people at MEPS so wear undies that are comfy. Make sure to have all your documents! Some people that work at MEPS are prior service and expect as an incoming officer in the military for you to have everything in order and they will tell you that to your face. 

Weight wise, I recommend running 3-4 days to get use to PT. Orange theory is awesome to build cardiovascular endurance and lose weight

Thank you all for your advice! Nervous and excited at the same time, my recruiters are also working on finalizing an interview and shadow at Fort Bliss early May

Good to know! I'm currently in my states (WI) national guard as an enlisted soldier but it is still hard to get in touch with an AMEDD recruiter. My first line leader has no idea about the AMEDD side of things or active duty nursing programs so that makes it tough getting reliable info. I have an MSN but not the critical care experience but I've read that can be remedied with training. 

There is a Madison and Milwaukee station. If you can't find them or don't like the recruiter you can contact any station you wan't. But it's easier staying local generally as you will need a release from the national guard.
