Wanting to join navy nurse reserve

Published

Hi

I've been wanting to join navy nurse reserve. I've waiting to finish my MSN in nursing informatics to be able to join. What is the training like for direct commission on the reserve? I have 8 yrs telemetry exp and 2yrs psych nurse. Im already 37yrs old so time is really not on my side. What are the chances id be able to get in. ? And what would the training be like if ever? Thanks

Contact a healthcare recruiter. I was active Army RN in the military for 20 years. Things change fast as far as getting in. Recruiters have the most up to date information.  People on here can tell their own stories, but there is no way to say if you can get in. I do know during war things change even more as far as needs of the military.  Peace time Army and war time Army are different.  Pretty much a peace time situation now so that can affect it also.  Good luck.
