USAGPAN 2018

Published

I noticed someone had started a thread to rally up nurses applying to the USAGPAN class starting this year so I thought I'd do the same for next year's class! I'll be speaking with a recruiter soon, but I hope to begin the application process very soon! I have about 2 years of critical care experience, just took my GRE and I'm scheduled to take my CCRN next month. I'll be doing that biochem class sometimes before June as well. Anyone else out there applying for next year's Army Nurse Anesthesia Program?

My recruiter told me the board starts today. Good luck to everyone!

I was wondering what were some decent places to live in San Antonio off post. Any suggestions?

hey there, lived in SA since I was 8 y/o (27 now); I would say the pearl area (expensive but nice), ALAMO HEIGHTS, areas close to the post but also away from the hustle Cibolo/Schertz/Universal City Area....hope this helps take care and good luck! Hope to matriculate next FY!

Well, I just got the word, looks like I'm wait listed. It's not over yet, but definitely not the news I wanted. Congratulations to everyone who was selected!

Bummer... i'm sure having to wait even longer is not the news anyone would hope for. But, there's still a chance so fingers crossed... Good luck!

We currently live in Urban Crest Apartments just a few miles down Harry Wurzbach from the base. They are nice, safe, and close to base and lots of restaurants/shopping. We have a 3 bedroom and pay over BAH. I do know the 1 and 2 bedrooms are less expensive (obviously). We chose to pay more so my husband doesn't have to deal with traffic during commutes. He has classmates that spend 30-60mins one way if traffic is bad. It's so nice for him to only have a 7 minute drive, no matter the time of day.

The best places I've found are up toward the Hollywood Park area along 281 near the loop. But even those are hit or miss with parking issues and even crime, according to the reviews.

If anyone has suggestions please post them. I've got three days to find a place next week while I'm in town. Need a 3 bedroom and we are willing to pay more for a good place.

I'm moving from NY and have been looking for an apartment for my wife and kid without too much luck. Thanks for this suggestion I'll check it out next week when I'm in town to look for a place.

We really like the area we're in. There are several other apartment complexes nearby that would also be good options. Legacy Heights is right off Austin Highway. There are a few students who live there this year. Some of those units have attached garages and fenced in back yards. The area outside of the complex isn't wonderful (lots of bus stops with homeless people wandering about and things), but the complex is HUGE, so your wife could probably go for walks within the gate and feel very safe. I feel safe in our surrounding neighborhood when I take my 2 young kids on walks.Also, we go on post a lot and walk the track, so there are options, aside from your neighborhood. I also know families who live off of Woodlake Pkwy (which is just off a big road called Rittiman). It's a gated community less than 10 mins from post. there's a community pool and they pay under BAH.
