Army/ military Nursing. DCC. BOLC. Questions. Lifestyle.
Anyone thinking of commissioning to active duty as a nurse, please share your experience. I have some questions too if anyone has answers. I am currently working on my documentation but its very tedious. Already cleared MEPS. Im going for 66S and hopefully get placed at walter reed medical center.
Little about me. I have 7 years prior service as army 11B. 5 years Nursing experience with 3 years in CCU. I have a family that will be with me.
Did anyone see soldiers with families at BOLC? I hear this was an option. How big are the classes, how much free time do we have. Pt required or encouraged? What was the DCC experience like? How long did it take from packet submission to DCC arrival? Once we arrive to our selected units, is there a nurse orientation? How long are we being precepted before taking on our own assignments? How does this coincide with our military obligations? How does scheduling work? How does leave work?
Maybe i have too many questions to write it all here but i hope we can get a long discussion here.
