   JDARMYFNP replied to jerrylundergard's topic in Government

   I work 8 hours/day when stateside 12 hours/day when deployed. 30 days vacation is awesome. There is actually more off time because of training holidays. I would say we have about 50 days vacation when you add it all up. Very nice part about active ...

2. Jumping through AF hoops...

   JDARMYFNP replied to aura_of_laura's topic in Government

   The process takes time. I think it is good preparation for what is required to be in the military, patience. Flexibility is also key. Finally, I would say that you have learned one of the most important lessons - don't volunteer information. Keep to ...

   I think the idea behind the terms of the account is not to use profanity... be insulting, rude, vulgar, etc... opinions are opinions. "No potentially libelous information about specific schools, instructors, or health care facilities/entities should ...

   JDARMYFNP replied to jerrylundergard's topic in Government

   I am an Active Duty FNP. I will tell you the Army behind the times as far as how they allow NPs to practice. It is a big pain in the rear end to go to school while in the Army. My advice, get out, go to school... then come back in if you want. The Ar...

8. Military NPs

   JDARMYFNP replied to DrCOVID's topic in Government
