1. RN trying to enter Air Force failed hearing test

   jmaverick101 replied to RN2345's topic in Government

   You should be able to get a waiver no problem. Like said earlier try to get a retest, if not you should qualify for a waiver. Waivers are based on the idea on how your condition could somehow affect your ability to do your job, both stateside and d...

2. Future AF nurse with RN spouse

   jmaverick101 replied to STICU-ARNP's topic in Government

   jmaverick101 posted a topic in Management

   Ok for the past few weeks I've been looking for masters programs in nursing management. I'm particularly looking for online programs since I'm in the military, especially those that consider themselves military friendly. If anyone could tell me of ...

5. Waiting for the release of the January 2010 Air Force Boards for Nursing

   jmaverick101 replied to Travelcrazy's topic in Government

   I just want to quote you what MANY of my former military member coworkers have quoted me, "Hurry up, and WAIT". In other words fill out the paper work they give you as soon as possible and keep in touch with your recruiter. Keep copies of everythi...

7. Air Force Loan Repayment

   jmaverick101 replied to mt_nurse's topic in Government

   Ok my wife and I met with our recruiter today and I asked him what it meant to be an alternate. He said that the sign on bonus is still available, but loan repayment money has run out. As an alternate should someone back out you could take their lo...

   Did you already sign papers for the loan repayment bonus. My wife and I are getting commissioned tomorrow and I know we have more paperwork to sign, but i hope we don't have sign for less money.

9. Pay at COT

   jmaverick101 replied to jmaverick101's topic in Government

   I was planning on putting my belongings in a climate controlled facility due to a lot of my electronics being very sensitive to humidity. That was one of the reasons I was thinking of not using the Pods company. As far as I know the government will...

    jmaverick101 replied to jmaverick101's topic in Government

    From what everyone has said about being delayed pay I'm trying to save enough to be fine if I don't get paid during COT and 2 weeks after. Unfortunately both me and my wife are going to COT at the same time, so I have to save double. I'm just tryin...

12. Pay at COT

    jmaverick101 posted a topic in Government

    From my understanding the military pay days are every 1st and 15th. COT starts March 6th or 9th, I can't remember. I know it'll probably take 2 weeks or longer to set up direct deposit, but when I do get paid is it a full pay check for being there ...

13. What's your ratio

    jmaverick101 posted a topic in Cardiac

    I currently work on a 40 bed tele unit. Since I live in San Antonio, alot of doctors transfer their patients from the southern part of Texas to our hospital. In part I think because we have more technology to offer, but also because more than a few...

    I live in San Antonio and grew up across the street from Lackland AFB. I talked to the CNO of Lackland for my interview and she said they were making their hospital bigger. So I would expect there to be tons of open slots for Lackland for whoever w...

    I'm so glad you posted this. I was just thinking about this yesterday. I figure once they take the money it's gone forever, but I was worried about being bumped up a tax bracket. Me and my wife took the loan repayment and bonus. With the bonus's ...
