   Danish replied to GuelnRn's topic in Government

   I commissioned with an “in lieu of” which basically means pending flight physical. I finally had it completed a year and a half after being gained at my unit LOL. There are pros and cons to that. I was non prior, so the time in grade didn’t affect...

   Air Force initial rank

   Danish replied to djmatte's topic in Government

    VA Nurse Pay Scales

    Danish replied to kristykat's topic in Government

    I work in vascular surgery. I was an RN at the same hospital for five years prior to becoming an NP. It's my home, so I couldn't leave. Plus, the benefits package makes the pay equate if you add that value.

    Does the National Guard or Reserves (for any branch) take Psychiatric Nurse Practitioners?

    It is very base specific. I live in the Tampa area and my closest base is MacDill. When I initially began the process of commissioning there was no need for NPs on base and I was offered a flight nurse job. It was either take the opportunity as a ...
