Accessions (Branching) Process
The Order of Merit List (OML) Model calculates scores which are rank ordered to create the
ROTC National OML. The ROTC National OML is used to determine component status and
branch assignment for cadets. However, all nursing cadets are branched Army Nurse Corps once
they pass their NCLEX-RN exam. The Order of Merit Score (OMS) establishes your standing on
the OML and is generated by using the ROTC OML Model shown below. Nurses may have the
opportunity to assess Reserve Forces; however this option is only available when the national
nurse mission has been exceeded for that commission year. Otherwise, all nurses will assess
Active Duty depending upon the selection rates and mission numbers received by the Army. The
only nurses who are “guaranteed” Active Duty are those graduating from a Senior Military
College (per US Code Title 10 Subsection 2111)
Therefore, your grades are very important. GPA is the single most important criteria influencing
your OML score. Remember, the ROTC OML model is a whole person score. If you have a low
GPA, it can be offset by: physical performance (APFT), PMS rank, participation in training and
extracurricular activities, and performance at LDAC. Continue to work hard through your senior
year. Strive for academic excellence in your studies and attempt to work at your highest
academic potential. This will only set you up for success as you continue through the nursing
curriculum and onto the Army Nurse Corps.

At the beginning of your senior year, you will be required to indicate your preferred first duty
assignment by completing CC Form 218-R: Assignment Preference Sheet. All new graduate
nurses will participate in an internship for their first year, known as the Clinical Nurse Transition
Program or CNTP (see page 7 for further description). Therefore, your choices are limited to the
12 CNTP Military Treatment Facilities. In Part II of this form under “Assignment Preference,” it
is required to list 4 overseas choices, however, there are only 2 overseas CNTP locations (Hawaii
and Germany). Consequently, #9 and #10 will not be considered for assignment. They strictly
need to be filled in for administrative purposes. Please see the example below, and confer with
your Brigade Nurse Counselor when completing this form.

Taking the NCLEX-RN
For the nurse Cadet to become a professional Registered Nurse (RN), they must take and
successfully pass the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEXRN). An officer must pass the exam and hold a valid license before being accessed into the Army
Nurse Corps. If the NCLEX exam is not passed after the second attempt, the cadet may be rebranched according to the needs of the Army. In some cases, a cadet can apply for a third attempt
pending the approval of the Cadet Command Chief Nurse.
Many schools offer a NCLEX review course. Frequently, a school of nursing will present this
review as a non-credit elective during the last semester before graduation. There are also many
private educational corporations that offer the review course. The cost range is $250 - $500.
Scholarship Cadets can request for reimbursement through Cadet Command after paying for the
review course. Non-scholarship, non-scholarship SMP, and non-scholarship Reserve GRFD
Cadets will need to request for payment of the course through BDE prior to registration. National
Guard GRFD and scholarship Reserve GRFD are not eligible for payment or reimbursement.
There are two NCLEX review course options available for Cadets. (1) A review course offered at
the School of Nursing. (2) A review course provided by an educational corporation outside of
their institution. This review course will be paid for only ONCE. The preferred method is to
take a review course offered through the school of nursing. The nurse Cadet does not have to
take the review course prior to graduation but the Cadet must schedule it, and it must be paid for
prior to graduation.
Cadet Command will also cover up to $200 of the testing fee for scholarship cadets only. The
testing fee will only be reimbursed for the first attempt. The PMS must submit a request to
Cadet Command to cover the $200 cost for the cadet, no earlier than 60 days prior to
graduation and no later than 30 days prior to graduation. Please note this reimbursement
does not include the fee charged by each state to process the license application. This fee
generally ranges from $25 to $100 dependent on state. Each nurse will be required to renew their
license through their particular state either annually or biennially (dependent on state law). It is a
professional responsibility to obtain and maintain a license to practice nursing.
Cadet Command will not cover the testing fee for SMP cadets. This fee can be reimbursed
through the VA and their respective SMP unit by filling out the VA Form 22-0803 “Application
for Reimbursement of Licensing or Certification Test Fees”. Cadets will be reimbursed only after
passing the test and with proof state licensure. Please follow all instructions on the form, this
process and request has nothing to do with Cadet Command and will need to be initiated and
completed by the Cadet. It may take a few months to receive the reimbursement
**Notify your Brigade Nurse Counselor when you have scheduled a date to take the NCLEX.
After you take the NCLEX, your BNC will verify your license online and will request to initiate
your orders. It is imperative that you keep the Brigade Nurse Counselor (BNC) informed about
your current address, phone number, and email address. If you move or change phone numbers,
notify the BNC immediately.

Nurse Gold Bar Recruiting or LDAC/LTC Support
Once you pass your NCLEX, you have the option to come on Active Duty status prior to
attending BOLC-B. You can either work as a Nurse Gold Bar Recruiter (GBR) at an ROTC
University or support the medical mission as a staff nurse at LDAC or LTC. You will begin to
gain experience as an officer, as well as begin your 2LT pay. There is a requirement to report to
the first available BOLC-B following accession to active duty, understand this is a request only
and can be denied if BOLC-B seats are available.
If you would like to be a Nurse Gold Bar Recruiter, speak to your PMS so they can submit a
formal request. You must have a minimum of 45 days and a maximum of 140 days to work as
a GBR prior to attending BOLC-B. You can work at any university with a ROTC Battalion and a
school of nursing. As a nurse Gold Bar Recruiter, you will work with the Recruiting Operations
Officer (ROO) and recruit prospect nursing students into the program. This includes visiting
local high schools, communicating with students, and attending recruiting events.
If you would like to support LDAC or LTC you will be working to support the medical
mission as a nurse. LDAC is located at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Washington. LTC is located
at Fort Knox, Kentucky. In order to work at LDAC or LTC, you must be a May graduate and
passed the NCLEX-RN exam. Verification of RN licensure is essential prior to requesting
orders. Please ensure that you communicate your preference to your nurse counselor when you
inform them of your NCLEX achievement so it can be placed in your orders.

Clinical Nurse Transition Program (CNTP)
All recently graduated nurses will complete the BG Anna Mae Hays Army Clinical Nurse
Transition Program. BG Hays is our 13th Chief of the Army Nurse Corps, as well as the first
woman in the history of the U.S. military to be promoted to the rank of general. CNTP is a 6-12
month preceptorship/internship, developed solely for our new 2LT ANC Officers, focusing on
the attainment and proficiency of basic med/surg skills. It will help bridge the gap between your
academic training and the demands of an Army clinical environment.
There are 12 Military Treatment Facilities (MTF) that are CNTP sites (see below). The majority
of 2LTs will remain at that MTF following the completion of CNTP; however some officers may
be eligible for a permanent change of station (PCS). If your CNTP location is Hawaii or
Germany, you will remain there for your follow on assignment - total minimum tour will be 36
months to include time spent in CNTP.

Orders and Shipment of Household Goods
Orders will not be initiated until official confirmation of passing the NCLEX and licensure
verification. The orders must go through multiple levels for processing to include Cadet
Command and Army Nurse Corps Human Resources Command (HRC). They will be based
primarily on the information you provided on CC Form 218-R discussed above on page 4. Read
ALL lines of your orders carefully and notify your BNC immediately if there are any mistakes.
Ask questions if you do not understand something written in the orders.
Shipment of Household Goods (HHG)
As soon as you have your orders, contact your local Transportation Office (TO) to make
arrangements for the shipment of your HHG. This applies whether you plan to have the
government move your HHG or whether you plan to do-it-yourself (DITY move). The moving
and shipping process has been automated; all initial counseling can be completed on-line (follow
the instructions on page 9). The TO you will utilize will be at the military installation that is
closest to you. Keep in mind it may not be an Army installation. If you are unsure of which
military installation is nearby, please ask your cadre.
Accompanied baggage: This is the main shipment of your HHG. It is recommended that you
arrange to have your HHG picked up BEFORE going to BOLC-B. Your HHG will just wait in
storage while you are at BOLC-B and until you have a place to live at your new duty station.
Once you have your new address, just call the TO at your new duty station to schedule a delivery
date. If you do not have your HHG picked up before BOLC-B, you must leave someone as
power-of-attorney to authorize release to the movers, or you must take leave and go home after
BOLC-B for the pick-up.
PPM (Personally Procured Move): There is also the option to move all of your HHG items
yourself instead having the government move it for you. The disadvantage obviously is that it is
a lot of work to pack and move your HHG yourself. If you opt for a PPM move you still have to
contact your local/outgoing TO before making the move. Do not expect to get reimbursed for the
move once you arrive at your new duty station if you did not initiate the proper paperwork with
the outgoing TO before you left home.
Partial PPM: This is when you move part of your HHG and the government moves the rest of it.
If you are planning to drive to BOLC-B with a full car load, but will have the bulk of your HHG
moved by the government in accompanied baggage, you probably will want to take advantage of
this. Tell the outgoing TO that you would like to do a partial PPM to and from BOLC-B, and
they will initiate the paperwork needed to accurately document the move.

Duty Assignment Information
During BOLC-B you will receive a Welcome Packet and Sponsorship Letter from your gaining
unit. A sponsor is someone who will answer your questions and provide advice to help you with
the transition into your new unit. When you know who your sponsor is, contact him/her right
away. If you do not get a Welcome Packet and Sponsorship Letter from your gaining notify your
BOLC-B nurse liaison and they will contact the hospital to track it down for you.
For arrival to your first duty station
Once you get settled in at BOLC-B you should call ahead to your new duty station and make a
reservation at guest lodging (also called transient lodging or guest house) for your expected date
of arrival. You will initially have to pay for your stay out-of-pocket but you will be authorized to
have up to 10 nights reimbursed when you file your travel voucher. If you do not call early it is
likely that guest lodging will be full on your expected date of arrival. In this case, they will
provide you with a list of off-post hotels that you can make a reservation at and still be fully
reimbursed. If you stay off–post, be sure to get a “Statement of Non-Availability” memo from
the guest lodging for filing your travel voucher.
Your unit Welcome Packet and Sponsorship Letter will likely have information on the
installation check-in procedures once you arrive at your first duty station. However, you can
read ahead by going to the Military One Source website (http://www.militaryonesource.com).
Click ON “Military Life and Deployment”. There is information available here on a wide range
of topics and may give you answers to questions you haven’t even thought of yet.
Upon arrival to your duty station you will also need to check-in at the Department of Nursing
(DON) at the hospital so that they know you have arrived safely. If you arrive on station after
normal business hours, wait to check-in at the DON until the next day. Once your installation inprocessing is complete you will report back to the hospital for your unit-level (hospital) inprocessing. The DON personnel will give you instructions on where to report to for your unitlevel in-processing; it is usually at the Company.
Permissive TDY
In addition to the time you spend with installation and unit in-processing, you are usually given
ten (10) days of Permissive Temporary Duty (PTDY) at your new installation to look for a place
to live, receive your HHG from the TO, and get unpacked. This does NOT count against your
regular leave. Let the DON know that you need your PTDY for house hunting when you checkin. You can expect that between installation and unit in-processing and PTDY, you will not be
getting started on your assigned nursing ward until close to three weeks after you arrive.

Specialty Courses
Earning your BSN is an achievement for which you can be proud. Since nursing is a dynamic
profession, your skills and professional knowledge must be constantly updated. The Army Nurse
Corps is committed to providing opportunities that will enhance your abilities, interests, and
knowledge. Each new nurse will typically begin their career on a Medical-Surgical unit, to gain
basic nursing skills and experience. You can start requesting a specialty course within a year of
active duty; however it is highly recommended to receive at least 2 years of medical-surgical
experience first.
66H8A: Critical Care Nursing and 66HM5: Emergency Nursing Course: The Critical Care
Course and the Emergency Nursing Courses consist of 2 phases. Phase I is the self-paced online
Essentials of Critical Care Orientation (ECCO) course. Phase II for both of these courses is a
traditional 14 week resident course consisting of a mix of didactic and clinical learning. Official
seating and notification of a specific course date is done approximately 4 months prior to Phase
II. Officers begin Phase I after selection and enrollment into a Phase II course. Phase II: Critical
Care Locations, San Antonio Army Medical Center, TX, Walter Reed National Military Medical
Center, DC, Madigan Army Medical Center, Fort Lewis WA, Phase II: Emergency Nurse
locations, San Antonio Army Medical Center, TX.
66E: Preoperative Nursing: This 16-week course is designed to prepare nurses to function as
entry-level staff nurses in the perioperative environment utilizing the nursing process. Course
itself is presented through lectures, conferences, discussions, practical exercises, examinations,
literature review and clinical practicum. The course is offered at San Antonio Army Medical
Center, TX, Madigan Army Medical Center, Fort Lewis WA, and William Beaumont Army
Medical Center, El Paso TX.
66G: Obstetrical and Gynecological Nursing: This 16-week course combines an intense eightweek didactic component with eight weeks of clinical practicum in all functional areas of
women's health and newborn nursing care. Course instruction is presented through lectures,
conferences, discussion, practical exercises, examinations, and independent learning activities.
Didactic instruction is provided by functional area experts including certified nurse midwives
and practitioners, neonatologists, perinatologists, clinical and supervisory. This course is offered
at Tripler Army Medical Center (TAMC).
66C: Psychiatric & Mental Health Nursing: This 16-week course prepares Nurses (RNs) with the
knowledge base and the clinical skills to deliver entry level nursing care and treatment to
psychiatric patients within the TO&E and TDA hospital setting. The course is located at Walter
Reed National Military Medical Center, DC.
66B: Public Health Nursing: This 9-week course is designed to provide Army Medical
Department (AMEDD) officers with the skills and knowledge to function in preventive medicine
specialty areas at an entry level. Course content includes the following areas: community health
practices, communicable and infectious diseases, operational preventive medicine, epidemiology,

statistics, medical entomology, industrial hygiene, health physics, sanitary engineering, and
environmental science. This course is offered at AMEDD C&S, Fort Sam Houston, TX.
M9: Nurse Case Management: This course is for nurses who currently serve as case managers in
Warrior Transition Units (WTU) or a Warrior Transition Battalion (WTB). The course is a webbased program that utilizes adult learning principles that will enhance the Army Nurse Case
Manager’s understanding of case management theory. The student will learn about best practices
across military and civilian settings, thus gaining knowledge of principles and tools utilized in
case management. Completion of this course satisfies a basic requirement for granting the Case
Management Additional Skill Identifier (ASI) of M9 and assists to prepare the Nurse Case
Manager for case management certification.
66T: Trauma Nurse (Pilot Course): Consolidates critical care and emergency nursing with a
focus on combat trauma care. We are re-shaping our critical care and emergency nursing courses
into one curriculum focused on acquisition of trauma nursing and critical care competencies.
The trauma nurse area of concentration will provide assignment flexibility in fixed facilities and
deployed combat support hospitals and an unprecedented level of trauma nursing capability for
military medicine. The first trauma nursing course piloted was in August 2011 at Brooke Army
Medical Center and the graduates will earn the 66T AOC.

Long Term Health Education and Training
In addition to the specialty courses listed, Army Nurse Corps officers can apply for a graduate
education program of their choice through the Long Term Health Education and Training
(LTHET) program.
Army Nurse Corps officers interested in furthering their professional education may apply for
selection to attend Long Term Health Education and Training (LTHET) graduate programs. If
selected by the LTHET Board and qualified academically for admission, ANC officers will be
given the opportunity to be fully funded (up to $15,000) to attend graduate school as full-time
students. All officers attending LTHET will receive all pay and benefits while in school,
regardless of the program. The following is a list of all currently accepted graduate nursing
