Hello everyone,
I haven't posted much but I'm currently in the process of applying for the new graduate nursing boards for the Air Force. I graduate with my bachelors of nursing in May!! I thought it would be nice to connect and see if anyone else is applying for the new graduate board selection. My recruiter told me they meet and make decisions in July. If I get it, I'll be heading to COT in October!
Currently, the recruiter has me picking out bases that I would like to be selected at for NTP. I'm also awaiting a medical exam date. If anyone has any input on great places to start out my nursing career, let me know!
Thanks!
Okay, FB group info: USAF NTP FY16 (not that it's just for NTPers). For now, the settings are: Closed - anyone can see the group and its members, but only members can see posts. It can always be made more restrictive later, if y'all want. Any member can add/approve another member.
Do you have a link to the FB page? I am unable to find it.
Are any of you going to a different site for the NTP portion itself? I know musclesandmascara you said you're going to AZ before Keesler? My recruiter said that they were just sending people to their stations and doing NTP there. Did others hear that? I just want to be sure since it's getting closer. And I will be at Keesler with you as well! (Also I'd love to join the FB group, but my job can't find out I'm leaving until the month before), so I'm gonna stick to here until the FB page is completely private. It's getting close to January! Can't wait to meet everyone!
Your recruiter doesn't seem to know what's going on. Keesler isn't a big enough to do NTP. The NTP sites are San Antonio, or Tampa, Scottsdale (AZ), and Cincinnati. These are 3 month training programs for new grad nurses.
If you have a year of experience, then you just go to your first base without going to NTP.
