1. ARMY Critical Care Nursing full?????

   aglages replied to ICU24's topic in Government, Military

   Garbage. If people that actually have negative first hand experiences shouldn't post their opinions in a "public" forum because they are commissioned officers, then who should? Just the commissioned...

   aglages replied to jmaverick101's topic in Government, Military

   There are actually two different issues here: How much and when. Regardless of how much money you are supposed to receive the military in notoriously bad at initially paying you on time and for the...

3. security clearance.

   aglages replied to pattyrn376's topic in Government, Military

   I guess we can now "assume" that it wasn't too much talking by another person. I cannot understand why people feel the need to post these kind of personal half truths on a public forum and pretend...

5. security clearance.

   aglages replied to pattyrn376's topic in Government, Military

   Am I the only person reading this thread that is wondering how this "other" person knows so many financial and military details of another person's life? Why if this person needs advice, and is...

6. Frustrated and REALLY need to VENT right now!!!

   aglages replied to fitRNpic's topic in Government, Military

   Thank you Sailornurse! I've not been able to find any nurses that actually served a tour on a "gray hull" ship. Supposedly it happens but evidently not too often and I'm unclear as to the...

   aglages replied to fitRNpic's topic in Government, Military

   Thank you Sailornurse for the insight about the Navy nurse ship assignments. This helps. Do you know how long the deployments on the Mercy & Comfort are? How about combat ships? Does every ship...

8. Can/should I haggle with the recruiter?

   aglages replied to ksk33's topic in Government, Military

   I agree. After all, the recruiter's uncle owns the

9. Roll Call for all Military and VA Nurses and those considering the Service

   aglages replied to RNPATL's topic in Government, Military

   Does it make sense to leave the Air Force when you are making a Major's pay and only need 9 more years for retirement? I understand there are problems with AF Nursing (also in civilian nursing), but...

    aglages replied to fitRNpic's topic in Government, Military

    You raise a good question. Are the AF bases / quarters nicer (in your opinion) than the Navy's? You're saying there may be a good reason why it's called the

13. Frustrated and REALLY need to VENT right now!!!

    aglages replied to fitRNpic's topic in Government, Military

    Exactly. I'm trying to determine the chances of a NROTC nurse ever serving on a ship during her first four years without volunteering for that duty. If you are going to be stationed in a hospital by...

14. Frustrated and REALLY need to VENT right now!!!

    aglages replied to fitRNpic's topic in Government, Military

    Thanks wtbcrna. I had heard there is a fairly extensive waiting list to get on one of these ships. What did you mean by the following: "If assigned to a hospital ship it is a "collateral duty""? What...

15. Frustrated and REALLY need to VENT right now!!!

    aglages replied to fitRNpic's topic in Government, Military

    Thanks carolinapooh! Still sounds as though for a "new" Navy nurse the chances are slim and none that she will be assigned to a ship within the first four years of duty. After they reach O-4 (which...
