    Navy, Air force, Military nursing

    First off, thank you so much for answering our questions and congrats @daniel4navy!! How long does it take to go from signing the pre-commission documents for the Navy Reserve to actually getting sworn in and starting ODS? I have been waiting f...
  3. That's a good point.....with the large prevalence of Covid in the US, hardly anyone would qualify for military service at this point if it was a disqualifier. Thanks for your insight @jfratian. I'm going to heed your advice on this and just co...
  4. After 6 months of credentialing, security clearance, interviews, MEPs, and the final board meeting, I will finally learn if I will receive a commission next week. Unfortunately, I just got Covid for the very first time last week. How will my...
  5. Thank you for the feedback. Deployments are actually one of the reasons why I chose the Navy over the Air Force (which was my runner-up). The Navy seems to deploy more than AF, which is what I was looking for. I will see if I can mention that in ...

    This is great information, thanks for the insight. I'm glad I have a some experience in most of those areas of nursing to mentally prepare me for deploying and having to adapt to another specialty. I will have to train and prepare to be able to do...

    Thank you for your input, Demo, BSN! I decided to pursue the Navy Nurse Corps.
  8. Hi All, I would greatly appreciate your feedback on my Motivational Statement for the Navy Nurse Corps. My recruiter told me to that this statement should be 250 words, but this is 330 words and I am finding even longer example statements onli...

    Boyfriend wants me to stay away

    I work directly with suspected covid patients at my hospital and I live and work at the epicenter of the covid outbreak in the Bay Area. I have the opposite problem, and actually had to turn down my dates, because I know I am a risk and I do it to p...
  11. Hi NerdyNurseMe, The outcome was very good for me. I followed some of the advice in this thread and it worked. I asked for help from my union and felt supported and guided by them. Here's what I did: I enhanced the management's vague PIP so that...
  12. Hi All, I was very excited to start L&D travel nursing at the beginning of the year. This has been my dream to do what I'm doing right now and I'm grateful for the experiences and opportunities I've had as a travel RN for the last 7 months. No...

    Simple mask or NRBM?

    Hi Everyone! I've been to 3 different hospitals now as an L&D travel nurse and it's been interesting to see how different hospitals manage care. At my current hospital we use simple face masks instead of non-rebreather face masks for FHR decele...

    Is 28 too old to become a travel nurse?

    You're wise to take into account your childbearing years and desire to settle down and get married as you contemplate travel nursing. I am a 33 year old Labor and Delivery travel nurse and I have never been married and I have no children and I would...

    All dressed up, nowhere to go!

    I'm having the same experience as a first-time traveler. I have 7 years of experience, all my certifications, etc., but I know that I am competing with RNs with many years of travel experience. One thing that I have done that has gotten me 2 interv...
