  1. Medical Mission while Active

    Thanks Pixie! I'm deployed right now and am bored out of my mind, hence the random research into medical missions. I'm finishing up an online class this week, but have no idea what I'm going to do the rest of the time I'm here!
  2. Medical Mission while Active

    Hello! Has anyone gone on a medical humanitarian mission (not via the military) while on active duty? If you have, did you use your own leave days to go? Who did you go with? Thanks!
  3. Tapping into Army Tuition Reimbursement: Cha-Ching!

    I'm thinking about it! I remember when I was posting questions about BOLC! I'm an 8A now and am totally loving it (except they just put out that we can't sign for the ISP until a year after the course as 8As, because they're not counting our hours in...
  4. Tapping into Army Tuition Reimbursement: Cha-Ching!

    I have a question: I know as officers we have a 2-year ADSO for using tuition assistance. However, I cannot find it written anywhere if the ADSO is concurrent or consecutive! Do you have any idea? Also, will the Tuition Assistance ADSO delay entry in...
  5. Traveling to BOLC questions

    Hello! I'm going to BOLC in a couple of weeks, and all of the information about who pays what and when is so confusing! I've talked to the transportation and I have paperwork from them where I estimated I will have about 500lbs of stuff that I'm brin...
  6. New Army Nurse!

    I know thattt, I just meant that nurses are awesome no matter what degree they hold, and are not "just" anything ...if that makes sense

  8. New Army Nurse!

    I GOT MY ORDERS :)
  9. Where to go after BOLC?

    Actually, one of the reasons (though a minor reason) I chose NC is because I am from MA, and I have a lot more winter clothes than summer clothes! Haha, it's silly but true. I'm going to assume that I got these three choices because these are the on...
  10. Where to go after BOLC?

    Thanks Lunah! I'm going to go with Ft. Bragg. I have a friend who's been stationed at both, and that's the one he would choose and thinks I would like it better. I should be getting my orders tomorrow!!
  11. Where to go after BOLC?

    I'm torn between Ft. Hood and Ft. Bragg. I'm 22, single, and no friends/family in either place. I feel like Ft. Hood has a lot more variety as a hospital because it's bigger, but Ft Bragg is only a 3 hr flight from my family and they have a lower cos...
  12. Where to go after BOLC?

    Hello! I just received an email from my branch manager with the following choices: Ft Bliss Ft Hood Ft Bragg Where does everyone recommend?
  13. New Army Nurse!

    It's for direct commissions (like me) who don't have prior military experience or take ROTC. From what I understand, it's just to teach you basic military...things for lack of a better word.
  14. New Army Nurse!

    Lunah - I can now run 2 miles! The only problem is it takes me between 21 and 23 minutes :uhoh21: But I do run almost everyday and given that 2 months ago I couldn't even run a half a mile (and I had to stop running for 4 weeks because of bronchitis...
  15. New Army Nurse!

    I am DYING to receive my orders! The branch manager said I should hear by...last week. I would love to get stationed at Ft. Sam! I will def see you there!
