I took the ASVAB today and I got a 77 is that good? I wasn't able to really talk with my recuirter afterwards because of weather conditions. What jobs am I able to apply for? I would like something in nursing.

77 is decent.
It puts you in Category 2 which is the 2nd best. This means you'll have a good range of things to pick from.
The other scores break down your aptitude in different categories and those scores are more often used to determine a field of study to go into.
And keep in mind, no matter what the recruiter promised you, you cannot pick a single MOS and be locked into it. The best they can offer you is a field of study, but they usually keep that little tidbit of information to themselves until you're at MEPS waiting to get on a plane to bootcamp.

it means you scored better than 77% of the people who have taken it.. so well done.
Nursing, however, is a Commisioned Officer Community. there are enlisted medical fields , but you would NOT be a nurse per se.
what jobs you qualify for will depend on your line scores. additionally, there has to be a need for it in whichever branch you are looking to get into.

its a good score... but it isn't what will determine what jobs you qualify for... depending on what service you are joining they use different combinations of scores in each subtest to give you a score in different subjects... For example the air force has a general category( i believe its made up of your math, and reading scores) a electronic section( made up of the scores from the electronic section of the test as well as other sections. Mechanical, and administrative... you score in these areas is made up of a combination of scores, and that is what determines what job you are eligible for... every service has a different but similar system! Nursing is a officer field, but you can still get into the medical field!

Its up to the service you join and the job specialty you want to go into. I'm a marine science tech in the Coast Guard and they combined by AR and NO scores and I was just fine.
Check with the recruiter you go to and also check all references on line. That may help you as well.
Good Luck!

That is good. I scored a 58 and was eligible for 5 different jobs in the Army. It depends on your "Line" scores to. GT etc..

It depends on what branch you're going in. Overall, that's a good score, you should have quite the selection if not the pick of the litter.
