   mobro replied to Lindsay Ann's topic in Government

   If by "sent overseas" you mean deploy, then Lackland and Keesler have the highest deployment rate. They're both large hospitals as well.

2. January COT

   mobro replied to aura_of_laura's topic in Government

   if you're going to have a sponsor you should know who it is during COT- they should contact you before, hopefully, but maybe not. i'm currently at keesler and went through ntp in april of this year and never had a sponsor. no one else did that i went...

   mobro replied to IowaRNBSN's topic in Government

   i'm from atlanta too!! the humidity is worse here because of the water, i couldn't believe it! at least you'll be used to it though. there are some decent apartments near by and you could probably find a house if you knew where to look. i didn't kno...

5. Air Force Nurse Transition Program

   mobro replied to IowaRNBSN's topic in Government

   i think getting to europe as your first assignment is pretty hard. especially if you're a new nurse- but don't quote me on that. biloxi/keesler is pretty nice. the on base housing is all brand new and is beautiful! i live off base but i know a few p...

8. Air Force Nurse Transition Program

   mobro replied to IowaRNBSN's topic in Government

   NTP is for folks with less than a year of experience. I had 6 months ICU experience and I still did NTP. I just graduated from it at the end of July. Basically you follow preceptors for 10 weeks (not always the same preceptor). You orient to the floo...

9. FOR COT CLASS 10-03 - last minute unsolicited advice

   mobro replied to carolinapooh's topic in Government

   i needed that!! thank you so much for every piece of advice you've sent our way. i'm trying not to be terrified but i really have very little idea of what i'm getting myself into. i can honestly say, though, i have never been so proud of myself in my...

11. GI Bill and places to live

    mobro replied to mobro's topic in Government

    thanks! i won't turn it down since i don't know if i'll be going back to school- just curious what the options were. i know i have to stop by the housing office or something at keesler before signing any contract for housing but will they point me in...

12. GI Bill and places to live

    mobro posted a topic in Government

    I have two questions- 1: If I initially turn down the GI bill is there any way to get it back later? I don't know now if I'll ever go back to school, but I don't want to turn it down and kick myself later. But on the same note I don't want to pay in...

13. COT graduation

    mobro replied to mobro's topic in Government

    that's what i was thinking, midinphx. i just didn't know if the trip back to the base would be worth it especially if i could get it done at maxwell. perhaps i'll make a trip tomorrow so i can just go ahead and not worry about it anymore.

    they're wide through the hips, to be more specific- from the pockets down. the waist fits like a glove.

    on a different subject, i bought almost all my uniforms already and the blues pants/skirt have been tailored length wise but are definitely too wide(and one pair of the pants is slightly shorter than the other pair which is driving me mad). is that f...
