   huntergirlRN replied to Animal3's topic in Government

   At my VA the tele-health tech basically sat and watched all the tele monitors for the floors-usually for a 12 hour shift. They also were the ones responsible for sending tele units to the floors when an MD ordered one for a pt and they usually calle...

   66B is Public Health and yes that is the specialty I want to go in with. But as of right now it does not look like it is going to happen. But with the Army anything can happen.

   huntergirlRN posted a topic in Government

   Question for you all! Just talked to my recruiter and I am a little confused. It sounds like she wants me to submit my packet for Reserve 66B in Nov. Then she says there will probably be another board for active in Jan which I can submit my packe...

5. Army Direct Commission FY12

   huntergirlRN replied to nurseprc's topic in Government

   Thanks Lunah! The more I think about it the more stressed I get! I have it down to 2 options unless I get good news from the recruiter. Option 1: Join Reserves as a 66B and then hope that I can volunteer to go on active duty (not sure how likely th...

6. Army Direct Commission FY12

   huntergirlRN replied to nurseprc's topic in Government

   So I was just informed by my recruiter that their is no active 66B mission for this year. How can that be?! So now I guess I have to decide if I want to go 66B Reserve or if I want to go 66H active. My only problem with 66H is that it has been a ...

   Lunah-Did they tell you that you would be going in March before the actual orders came? Or were you in the dark before the orders came? I hope I get 60 days notice-then I can give my job a month and then I can go play for a month:yeah:

   How long was it after you got your orders that you had to report? I always have bad luck so I can see them only giving me 2 weeks to report.

10. Army Direct Commission FY12

    huntergirlRN replied to nurseprc's topic in Government

    I'm just trying to not think about it and trust in my recruiter. My recruiter told me that it is not very competitive to get in as a 66B-hope that is true. If that is true then I can wait a month or two to get in if I really have to have a year exp...

11. Army Direct Commission FY12

    huntergirlRN replied to nurseprc's topic in Government

    Thanks! I started as a school nurse in January. But I did some PT public health work last year. I'm a little confused on if I need 1 year or 1500 hours. I have the hours-easily, but I depending on how they add everything up I might be a month sho...

    I'm applying to the board as a 66B-that is if they say I have been a community health nurse long enough
