   I'm in also with a May 21st COT date. I also got my first choice as JBSA as an ER/Trauma nurse. I'm glad the wait is finally over on knowing.

   I was told the same thing, that there was a split on the board decision and that we should hopefully know by the end of next week 10/13. I know we are tired of waiting. This was not the issue last year. Still wish everyone good luck!

   I know the boards meet quarterly typically, but each board has a reduction of what they are looking for and specialty. I would contact your recruiter, especially if you work in a specialty outside of clinical or OR nursing.

   For my packet, I had 2 interviews. One was a face-face and the other was phone. In the face-face, I was sent to a base and met with the chief nurse of that facility. We would sit down and have a talk about our multiple aspects of life. During thi...

    Well I finished all my interviews this week. I just have to review my preferences one more time for assignment and then submit my packet. All I can say is just do what you can to forget about it while the boards meet and make their decisions.

14. What goes on in an ED?

    JmanRN80 replied to BlueBoxSearcher's topic in Emergency

    In the ED I like to think that we take chaos and make it become organized chaos. After that we take the organized chaos and try to make the pt stable to be able to be on the floors. We act as a detectives in situations with no information provided ...

    As an applicant for the Air Force Nurse Corp 2018 I thought I would open a public thread for people to talk and ask questions. I was non-select in 2017 due to lack of time in a trauma center, but reapplying again for this FY2018 as ER/Trauma RN. Th...
