Question
1.5 years ago I had arthroscopic surgery on my left shoulder due to a suspicious looking MRI after a fall. The surgery found nothing abnormal. My strength in my left shoulder is equal to my right and there have been no problems with it. I am in the process of applying for commission in Navy Nurse Corps and was wondering if this would disqualify me. I am currently half way through my college with a gpa of 3.9 and will qualify well on all physical fitness levels.
Thank-you so much for your time in answering this.
Hi Charity
To the best of my knowledge, you should/will be fine. Since the MRI came back looking alright and you have such a high gpa (congrats by the way!) I can see no reason why you would have any issue with the application process. Best of luck!
