Do CCRN certified rn’s get additional pay? On top of the sign on bonus? My recruiter is saying we do.... but I cannot find this in writing and it seems too good to be true?

1LT, feel free to shoot me any questions, I have been a 66S since 2007 and on active duty since 2003.

1LT (Join to see) - You are looking at roughly a six year active duty commitment for CRNA plus any time you may owe for anything they are giving you to join.

MAJ Byron Oyler for CRNA school it’s an additional 5 years after any other time you owe for bonus, etc. I think she was referring to how she pays back her initial bonus for a 4-year commitment if she gets into USAGPAN before time is paid. They tack it on to the 5 owed for the CRNA school.

No additional pay for CCRN but having it and 66S you are eligible for frequent bonuses. Last I heard for active duty the peak is a six year contract for $35K/YR. Previously it had been $20K/YR. I racked up over $160K over eight years.

1LT (Join to see) - Yes. Coming active duty? Depending on your terms coming active, you may not be eligible for sometime depending on if they are giving you anything up front. I received in 2003 $26,000 towards loan repayment and would not have been eligible right way, but hey, I already got $26,000 for a three year commitment.

Yes, it is true - keep in mind the sign on bonus and the special pay do not stack. I recommend to defer sign-on bonus and when you assess onto active duty opt for current 6yr/$35k special pay retention bonus w/ special pay tech at your duty station. Refer to DFAS link from MAJ (Join to see). I am currently a 66S active duty, pay and ceiling is higher vs our civilian counterparts, goodluck!

What do you mean they do not stack? So I don’t get both like my recruiter said? Well that sucks because I already signed on for a sign on bonus!

1LT (Join to see) they may have changed things from last I heard. Have your recruiter seek out more clarification, maybe it’s possible to get both with a longer ADSO. All financial aspects aside, active duty is a great experience
