I'm looking for recent direct ascension time line for selection, commission, and ODS dates. Ive had my interviews for specialties I want based on my work history and MEPS next week. My packet is almost ready to submit. I know there's been a backlog for going to ODS which is fine and I prefer that. I have family travel plans mid Feb that I dont want to change or miss though.
Hi everyone! So I want to commission and have 2 years experience in ICU and similar time in OR between scrub nurse and circulation. I also do correctional nursing and was prior enlisted in the army. As such, military life wouldn't be new for me. The recruiter seems pretty straight forward and said both options are open with slots. Have you worked in one or both of these? Pros and cons? I am married and have two kids. Is the ICU with navy rotating days and nights and every other weekend? That possibility is off putting for me, as I dont do well with night positions lol. I like the easy of the OR and overall just enjoy it, but I like the challenge of the ICU too. MEPS wasn't difficult the first go round so I dont imagine it would be more difficult this time. Ive got my references lined up and expecting eventual contact. Any insight would be beneficial. Thanks!
