I was in nursing school and applied for the Navy's Nursing Candiate Program. I was accepted my Junior year and was give a 10K bonus that was split up between 2 5K checks six months apart and a monthly stipend of 1K until graduation. I graduated but was not cleared medically because of a torn labrum and they required that I get surgery so that I could be cleared. I received the surgery days after my graduation in May of 2016. I had kept contact with my supervisor during the rehab period and while studying for the NCLEX to get my license.
I was told however in roughly october of last year, that I would not be cleared to join and would be discharged. I asked them about the stipend that I would obviously have to repay and my supervisor stated that someone would reach out to me. No one reached out to me for about two months and so I called again and got the same answer so I've been waiting.
In the mean time, I've passed my NCLEX and have been working at my job for almost 8 months now and love it. However, the Navy stays in the back of my mind. Every time I talk to my mother about it she says to hold off and they will call me. She said they will probably call in february when it is tax season. I however want to be a little more proactive. Should I call or am I ok just waiting for them to reach out to me?
