I'm prior service Army. will have a year as an ER nurse in Feb 2022. Wanting to commission in the Navy as an ER nurse. Does anyone know when is the best time to start talking with a recruiter to get paperwork started? Has anyone been prior service and gone Navy? Just trying to figure out how to plan.

Early because the recruiter won't be the one handling you. It will be an Accessions Officer that works the nursing side. That's the one you'll build the relationship with. Start getting into shape as Navy nurses also take care of the Marines. Women were bought into that realm years ago. Consider the reserve side as well in looking at your total life options. Also be prepared for a different type of hospital politics.
