  1. What is the nature of Critical Care in the USAF?

    Spoke with the Colonel who runs Eglin the other night... very helpful. They work 7 12's out of 2 weeks (3+4) and the ICU pt's very closely mirror those in civilian life. No real insight as to whether day or night shift is assigned, rotated, or applie...
  2. Civilian Hospitals vs. Military??

    The info from both USN and USA seems fairly consistent in that the odds are quite reasonble from one year to the next. While I will still be looking from some branch specific figures, I do feel somewhat relieved with the feedback from all of you. I w...
  3. Civilian Hospitals vs. Military??

    Huh, well alrighty THEN!!! So the next question is how likely is it that the USN, USA, or USAF will facilitate you're going back to school? I seem to remember golden flowered promises of being paid to go to school fulltime and how the DoD was gonna t...
  4. Civilian Hospitals vs. Military??

    Corvette, oops, duh! See what happens when you type while intubating a patient! Okay, so then my question about the Army goes to you. What made you choose that branch and do you need a Masters to see 0-4? I plan on getting mine but it seems like the ...
  5. Civilian Hospitals vs. Military??

    Dan, Thanks, basically I just needed to get a little insight. Exact figures aren't really necesary. I just like to have some expectations for what the process was and if the options have changed since 95'. Knowing what you told me is enough that I wo...

  9. Air Force Cot Program

    Hmmm... doesn't sound good... bad knee? If its a problem they'll weed you out during your physical, or you'll get a waiver. That being said, here is the info for COT: go to this site: ots.maxwell.af.mil most of your answers are there.... plus a few ...
  10. What is the nature of Critical Care in the USAF?

    Sphynx! Thanks so much for the info... It really is great to get someone who really knows whats going on... I think we'll pick Nellis! Tell me, whats the story about making 0-4? I read that a Master degree was necessary and that really surprised me. ...
  11. What is the nature of Critical Care in the USAF?

    OK, I see folks are looking but not replying... seriously, what type of ICU work goes on in the military outside of the obvious military mishaps and combat related stuff.... I mean, how many heart attacks on Nirtro can there be?
  12. Civilian Hospitals vs. Military??

    Wow, thanks man! I thought I'd never get that figured out! Who is this person and how in the world does she know the order? I'm currently chewing on some info I found about making O-4 and it being a Master's degree requirement in th USAF... freakin W...
  13. Civilian Hospitals vs. Military??

    Oorah... right back atcha devil dogs... I did 6 with the wing and now I'm trading up my Cpl to 1st Lt in USAF. How do you guys incorporate your medals/ribbons from "the suck" into the Army salad? I never found a way to list the USMC/USN awards into ...
  14. I am finishing up on my paperwork for my application to USAF RN and wonder what sort of things I'll be doing for the AF... I currently work in a civilian ICU; mostly geriatric MI's, CVA's, pneumonias, GI bleeders etc... common stuff for the elder fol...
  15. DO NOT DO THE ENLISTMENT !!! Go to school and get your degree and commission. Period. The military is a food chain... choosing to enter higher up will pay off in enormous and countless ways. ...and by the way recruiters DO ALL LIE... they do not dis...
