Any ECP officers went on to finish their degree for nursing? if so, where? I am looking into schools but we have a time frame of 24-36months to get our bachelors degree before attending to BOLC, which makes it diffifcult for those who have degrees which require more time then usual.
I have a link here for those who may not know about the ECP ROTC Program, it is not very well known and understood.

If I remember correctly, NMMI is basically a military Jr. College and you have to find/get your 4 year degree within a certain time frame. If that's correct, I'd contact an AMEDD recruiter; there are 4 stations across the US. I think they'll have the info you need. COA #2 is email the Army Nurse Corps and find a recruiter or ask about programs that give you options. My .02 anyway - it's free...

Thank you sir and yes you are correct, we need to finish our degree within 24-36 months. I will try contacting an AMEEDD recruiter on my options. I will probably branch Medical service in the mean time while completing my degree.

To be branched Nurse Corp you need a qualifying degree. 2yr nurse is not. Maybe you Early commission in a different branches like medical service then branch transfer.

Correct sir, I would branch a basic component branch in the mean time in the reserves/NG while completing my degree. Upon completion of my degree I am told I can re-branch into Nurse Corps.

The hardest part is getting accepted into a nursing program. Have you considered Public Health Service.
