Hello,
I am a RN and have been working with a recruiter on my application for a Navy Officer reserve position. She informed me that there are no med/surg or critical care billets available and I would have to wait until next year or go active. I cannot go active due to my job, spouse (her life and needs as well) and we just bought a house. However, a fellow nurse is working with his recruiter still on getting an officer position for critical care which doesn’t make sense to me if there are no positions available this year. Another nurse (my coworker) who is a naval officer said to wait until December to see if there are positions available due to some people not being compliant with the vaccine requirements. My questions are: why is one person working with their recruiter still if there are no billets available? Should I ask a different recruiter to see if for some reason my recruiter is just not trying to get me in (I don’t think she would but I know it is competitive and she is retiring next year)? Should I wait until December and see what is going on or… should I reach out to AF reserves and see if they have anything? (Navy or AF but not interested in other branches like Army sorry). What happens if the officers are not compliant with the vaccine requirements (my recruiter wasn’t sure)? Thank you!
