    Someone from the "armed forces" contacted my hospital today inquiring about the hospital info for an RN they are considering... )) Trying not to get too excited but that sounds pretty positive to me..... Anyone else hear of something like this happening?

    Nope but I haven't worked since Sunday. Have a meeting tomorrow so I guess my boss will tell me then! Did you provide them with any info about the size of your hospital/ER or typical volume? Last boards they called me and asked me questions about that, then this year they emailed my recruiter shortly after packets were due and I had to give them the info all over again. But it definitely is a good sign that they are considering you! And it also proves my theory that they meet most of the week, rather than simply the 24th.

    Haven't heard anything from my recruiter yet, but I know he hits his refresh button all the time to check application statuses (he's an admitted ADHD when it comes to the boards and their selection dates because his wife was one of his recruits). But the fact they contacted your hospital could be good! I don't ever see my management staff, not even in passing, so I wouldn't know if they were contacted or not. Hopefully we'll all hear something soon so the waiting game can finish this portion and gt on to the next!

    I did supply them with info on the hospital about 3 weeks ago. They supposedly did not ask any specifics about the nurse just the hospital. My anxiety went up a few notches after hearing of this. I wish it was Friday!! Lol

    Soooo.... Do they have their list??
  6. May 25, '12 by
    Even if they have their list, we still may not know for another week or so. It is Memorial Day, a pretty big deal to the military, and all the offices are going to be closed. I doubt that the board will release anything, or make any final decisions before tomorrow. Sorry to be a downer, but that is just how it is. Just try to enjoy your weekend and hopefully we will hear something soon.

    The week is finally over! I'm just happy knowing that a decision has been made, either way! Here's hoping those 3 spots belong to us! Everyone enjoy the holiday weekend!I'll be working the majority of it, but at least it's time and a half on Monday! I'll let you guys know when I hear anything, good, bad or alternate!

    How do u know for sure there are only 3 spots left? (just curious) and did u hear from anybody that the decisions were made? My recruiter had ignored me all week. Won't answer or return a call, text, or email. Frustrating. And I understand how the military works, spent 5 yrs active duty. I am just very stressed and sorry if this comes across angry sounding. Just don't like to be told a deadline then they let it pass with no answers. Ok done venting. good luck everyone.

    They send out a list before the board meets that says how many spots they have for each discipline. I think it may have some flexibility but I could be wrong. What state are you in? My recruiter texted me Monday to tell me good luck and that he was praying for me. But other than that I've heard nothing. He's a really great recruiter though and he doesn't allow me to have anxiety or freak out about things I can't control. But I'm assuming since the board met yesterday that decisions were made and we just have to wait for our recruiters to receive those decisions (which is what takes time) and then call us and tell us what they were. Like I said, last time it only took a week for my recruiter to call me. I'm thinking he'll call me by the end of next week, or the week after that. Memorial Day does throw a wrench into things, so just tell yourself you'll know by 2 weeks from today and if you don't, then start harassing your recruiter haha!

    I am in Iowa. I have pretty much done all of this on my own. Recruiter is in Chicago. 2 weeks is unacceptable to make us wait. They can let us know sooner I think. Haha! Yes I don't hesitate to harass him, that's his job. Lol
