THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR POSTING THIS! I'm interested in joining, but I literally know no one in the Navy or military, so I really appreciate this information!
I’m having trouble locating a Nurse Corp detailer. I’ve tried contacting the website and got nothing. Could I just speak to a regular Officer recruiter?
Is the Nurse candidate program competitive? How long was the process for you? I hear some people can wait as long as a year and a half after you graduate to get through the whole application process.
The Nurse Candidate Program is competitive and it depends on how many nursing billets the Navy is needing at the time you apply. The process took about 4 months for me. Although, I do not personally know of the process taking as long as a year and a half after graduation, I would not doubt it. One thing I have learned being in the military is that sometimes you wait (we call it hurry up and wait) for a long time before getting results. I would suggest just keeping in contact with your recruiter and anyone else who is directly responsible for getting your package submitted.
Question: I am currently an LVN. I’ve been accepted into a transition to RN program and will start class next month. Am I able to be accepted into the officer program with just an Associate’s or do I have to have my BSN?
I got the ncp scholarship last year. Getting the application together took a long time and the best way to get the information you need is to talk to a medical officer recruiter. It does require an acceptance letter to a bachelors nursing program. As far as GPA the requirement is 3.0+ but much higher if you want to be competitive. I applied with a 4.0 at the time. Physical requirements are the same as the rest of the navy (you will go to MEPS for a physical just like enlisted). As far as how competitive, that depends on if you're applying for a 2 year (most competitive) or the one year (less but still competitive) but overall consider it highly competitive. If you have more questions let me know.
It does depend on more factors than GPA. I submitted a resume, motivational statement, went through interviews with Lt. Commanders in the Nurse Corp among other things. GPA helps but don't let a few lower grades stop you from applying especially if you're a highly motivated person committed to excellence.
Did you had to go through officer bootcamp or did the 12 day training? I’m a veteran, in nursing school but thinking of joining back as a nursing officer.
Thank you for this video! As of now I am looking into going in as an Officer, just received my ASN and just got accepted into a local university to continue to receive my BSN. For the nursing candidate program, do you have to meet the weight requirement? That would be the only thing that’s holding me back at the moment.
Great info, I am a nursing student, unfortunately I couldn't get accepted into the NCP because I'm too close to my graduation (I found out about it too late, you must be over a year away from graduation), but I really want to join, the recruiter says DA is easiest way to go. Do you know how much years experience they look for?
So if I understand MECP correctly, technically any rate can apply provided they have their undergrad degree completed? Isn't it assumed that one has already completed their prerequisites before applying for the program since you must complete the BSN in 36 months? Currently an IT rated sailor with a non-medical degree (want to go back to school, though). Closest thing I ever got was hospital IT.
Red Alpha Yes, you can be any rate to apply to MECP. You don’t need your undergrad degree completed. You just have to have a minimum of 30 semester hours done that will transfer towards a BSN. These would be classes such as Anatomy & Phys, Chem, Microbiology, English, Math...And yes, you have to be able to get your BSN in 36 months to be eligible for MECP.
How many days you work in Veterans Hospital! Thank you for your information and for watching you, because I want to join Airforce Nurse or Navy Nurse 💉!
Can you please explain what duties/collaterals you are expected to do your first year? Because it is seems like they expect you to lead your first year despite that you don’t know what you are doing, especially if you never been in the military. Yes, you learn through officer school, but it can be be intimating if you don’t know what you expected to do coming in.
As a new nurse you are not expected to have high stakes types of collaterals. For example, you can have a collateral duty such as the safety representative on your unit. Or, you can be in charge of the morale, welfare, and recreation (planning fun/social events) for your unit. I agree it can be intimidating coming into the military as a new officer with no prior military experience. Don't worry, you will be expected to learn your job as a nurse first before having to take on huge collateral responsibilities.
i want to become a nurse through the navy. i am a junior in high school. i don’t have the much knowledge when it comes to the military, and i started doing my research but i am still confused on a lot of things when it comes to the nurses in the navy. i haven’t taken the SAT/ACT yet and i’m not sure if the navy requires it or if nursing school requires it. and would i have to study to become a nurse before i go through the navy boot camp or....i just have a lot of questions.😂
Sam Aguirre I know it can be daunting but here are the answers to the questions you did ask. 1) You need to take the SAT/ACT for college, nursing school requires it. 2) You need to study to become a nurse before going to boot camp. Boot camp is for enlisted. Officer Development School is for officers (nurses).
I have my BSN and worked for about 4 months in the ED as a new grad just transferred to Oncology cuz it was closer to home and better pay and hospital in my opinion. Can I direct commission I am old as well 34
I’m doing my prerequisites first and then taking nursing classes at a 4 year college. If I do enlistment would I be able to focus on my clinicals and be able to pay for school
If you enlist, you will not be able to go to school full time. The mission of the Navy will come first. Enlisting will help you pay for school though because you will be able to get the GI Bill.
Hello! Thank you for making this video. I am actually in the navy rotc program in college. I’ve been told that there isn’t a guaranteed job as a navy nurse officer after graduation. I have to work as a SWO first before I can transfer as a nurse. Is that true? Sorry I just have a lot of questions
Jessielyn Reyes I have never heard that you have to work as a SWO first and then transfer to nursing. I have also never met a nurse who had to do that. If you have a BSN and passed the NCLEX you are eligible for a nursing job. Nothing is ever guaranteed, there may not be a lot of nursing billets at the time you apply for a nursing job but, just make yourself as competitive as possible. But, it sounds like whoever told you that is trying to get you to become a SWO. Get your BSN and apply straight for the Nurse Corps if that’s your goal.
I am graduating from nursing school soon and would like to commission as soon as possible. I know that it would make me more competitive, but is it absolutely required that I have work experience as an RN to commission?
If you are trying to join as a direct accession (right after nursing school with no experience) it is highly unlikely you will get selected over a nurse with experience.
Hi!! I’m late but I’m currently a senior in hs and I want to be a military nurse however I don’t know what to do?? I don’t have a degree and I want the military to pay for it but how?? Do I just enlist first??? But how they gonna pay for it??
VTS _30 You can enlist and try to be a Corpsman. From there you can apply for MECP (Medical Enlisted Commissioning Program). I would say don’t waste your time. Start doing college courses on your own while you’re getting paid in the military. You need to have certain courses completed to be accepted into MECP.
I’m a prior service Corpsman would the MECP be an option if I’m 40 and have two years left in nursing school and I have another bachelors degree other than nursing?
MECP is only offered for active duty and reservists. If you are out of the military, try the Nurse Candidate Program. You cannot be older than 42 at the time of commissioning though. You can also try directly commissioning as an officer once you graduate nursing school and get some nursing experience.
Hi! i have a question. i’m a new nurse and i would like to join the navy. would they accept nurses withouth experience? or is it much ideal if i get some experience first?
Hi! Now that you have already graduated nursing school I would say go get at least a year of nursing experience and then try to get into the Navy as a "direct accession." It is more ideal if you have experience in inpatient places like Med-Surg or critical care. If you were still in nursing school I would have said try to get into the Navy using the Nurse Candidate Program where the Navy hires brand new nurses straight out of college.
HI!! i’m someone who wants to go to the navy in order for them to pay for school and i want to be a nurse . do you think it’s best for me to do part time or full time ?
You can do either. I don't know how much time you have to do in the reserves in order to get your GI Bill though. A recruiter would better be able to talk to you about specifics. If you go active duty you will typically have to serve about 4 years.
Say for instance a person has recieved their ASN and has worked as a nurse for a year or so and they just need to do a RN to BSN program, do you think that will still qualify that person for the NCP program?
@@itsestelarojas4713 thank you. One more question, what is the difference in officer pay for those who commission with DNP vs. MSN vs. BSN? And how much is the difference if there is one?
Jameshia Harris Your base pay is based on your rank. Thus, it doesn’t matter if you have a DNP or BSN, you’re pay is based on your rank and time in service. There are bonuses though depending on what your specific job is (NP, CRNA, etc).
Can you join the nurse corps If you can’t pass the Navy physical eval? I have a spinal cord stimulator so I can’t actually enlist but I still want to serve and help out as much as I can
whitneychesser1 Unfortunately passing the physical portion is mandatory for joining the Navy. If you are interested in being involved with the military and government without having to pass a physical test, look into becoming a GS employee.
@@iBeautifulDisaterx3 It is a person who works as a federal civilian employee. GS stands for General Schedule, which refers to the type of pay scale used.
Hey So what do I do far as steps to become a navy nurse, like do i enlist and then go to nursing school to get a degree? Since nurses are considered officers do I have to go to boot camp like other enlistees?
TheyCraveDess If you are not in the military right now, first step is to get into a BSN program. Then you can apply for Nurse Candidate Program. Or, if you already graduated nursing school, you can apply for Direct Accession into the Navy. When you are an officer you do have to go to a type of boot camp called Officer Development School but it is not the same boot camp as enlisted people go to. ODS is only for officers.
The Navy Nurse Is ODS the same as bootcamp? and how long is it ? Also when I get my bsn and go through the program can i still sign as a HM i think thats the right abbreviation for hospital corpsman
TheyCraveDess ODS is 5 weeks and not exactly the same as enlisted boot camp, it’s easier in my opinion. You can be an HM with a BSN however, you cannot be an HM AND a nurse. You have to apply for either or. If you are enlisted you are an HM. If you are an officer, you are commissioned. The verbiage is different.
Hello, I just graduated from nursing school I was wondering what are my chances in getting into the Navy.. or do they only want nurses with experience?
Caffesmash Right now it seems like the Navy prefers nurses with at least 6 months of experience. However, talk to a medical officer recruiter. He or she will have specific knowledge.
Yoanna Gonza Most likely yes, but make sure you read any contract before signing it and make sure you know how many years you will need to obligate to the Navy.
@@itsestelarojas4713 cool. I would have had to apply last year for the program no matter what. There is a direct commissioning program that has a reserve option that I’ll apply for going into my last semester.
Jessica Joute The first thing you need to do is speak to a Medical Officer recruiter. They have specific information regarding what billets or positions are open for Navy nurses.
BENY P MATHEW First thing you need is U.S. citizenship and a Bachelor’s in nursing from a U.S. accredited university. Then, you need to contact a medical officer recruiter.
I’m in my 2nd semester of college with my Major being Nursing. Would you recommend joining the reserves now, gain experience and as I get closer, try the NCP program? Or just wait, try NCP and then join?
I recommend finishing nursing school and then joining. You are already in nursing school so you can apply for NCP now. If you join the reserves now you will not join as a nurse because you don't have your nursing license yet. You would have to join as an enlisted and who knows what job they would give you. Also, it depends on what you really want to do after nursing school. If you do the reserves, you will be a part-time Navy nurse and work in a civilian hospital most of the time. If you join as active duty, you will be in the Navy full-time. Totally finish nursing school first though!
Hi Estela! I have been so stressed out as this is a hard decision to make. I’m currently in nursing school and start January. I have been thinking about joining the navy after graduation since I want to continue my nursing education to be a CRNA. Do you mind if I ask you a couple of questions?
