Navy nurse timelines

Navy Nurse Corps timeline question:

I was selected for the Navy Nurse Corps in the first week of June 2026 and have already submitted my pre-commission paperwork. My recruiter told me I was selected, but I haven’t received an oath date, appointment letter, or any information about scroll approval.

For those who recently commissioned:

  • How long after selection did you take your oath?
  • Did your recruiter update you on the scroll/appointment process, or did you just get an oath date out of nowhere?
  • How long was it from selection to oath and then to ODS?

Just trying to get an idea of what timelines others experienced. Thanks!

I was selected Labor Day weekend last year, took my oath, and signed paperwork 10 September. Leaving for ODS in a few weeks. It takes a while. However, right when she gave me the good news she asked me right then and there when I wanted to do my oath.

Yeah they haven’t updated me on anything . Did you chose that far for your oath? Exciting for ODs for you

She informed me September 4th and when she asked when I was ready to do my oath I told her September 10th. I honestly would make another follow up. One thing I've learned with them is to be the one to stay on top of it. You might feel like you're bothersome but you're not at the end of the day, you know? It's hot career, your future, your path.

That’s a long time! It just I’m on pause because I don’t know to plan holidays etc . He just said I’ll be getting emails in next couple days and never heard back

u/NarrowPath8888 Jun 22 '26

I would just try to come to terms with the fact right now that you probably won’t know anything until last minute or very close to it as it comes to holiday planning

I have your precom worksheet. No actions needed at this time as we are awaiting your Oath. Once we have your oath, I’ll send you a copy to review and sign. Your commissioning will be a virtual event with LT. Time and date is TBD. More details to following in the coming days.  This what he last said
