1. Nursing in the Airforce

   dingus replied to r0manticxxx's topic in Government

   Not in, but sorta in the same situation of wanting to get out, see more, and do more. Only difference, don't care where I go as long as I get out of Los Angeles. From my limited knowledge it's extremely competitive to get picked up for nursing while...

2. Advisable volunteer organizations/opportunities

   dingus replied to dingus's topic in Government

   Thank you all very much for the helpful answers. I will certainly look into the opportunities available around me to find a good fit. There's another item I want to ask about. I have been ruminating joining the reserves since I have around 3-5 years...

5. Military reserve and civilian career

   dingus replied to Dandy Lion's topic in Government

   Piggy backing, since I'm a few years away from getting a BSN I want to enlist in the reserves for the experience. I know my chances of getting a medical job will largely depend on ASVAB scores and availability. My top choices are the labs, medic, dia...

6. Help please! Nursing School or Join US Air Force

   dingus replied to Blue Robin's topic in Government

   It simply comes down to what is your ultimate purpose. With the choice of enlisting there is little need to get the ASN, heck you might as well as finish your current school term and go. If you want a job to make money now while serving the country (...

8. A Confused Army Nurse

   dingus replied to aspiring_nurse_'s topic in Government

   Lvn/Lpn rarely bridge into BSN programs. It's usually LVN/LPN to ADN. Not saying there are none, they might just be expensive and or have a long wait list.

9. Air Force or Army for Nursing?

   dingus replied to bsnlru19's topic in Government

   You sound like a fine young thing, check out your campus for specific branch ROTC opportunities, if they don't have it, find the crosstown university that correlates with it. It's worth looking into if you're only a freshman and you want to be a mili...

10. Military

    dingus replied to lselvio's topic in Government

    Pixie is talking about going in as an E-3 medic. You can enlist but it's not guaranteed you'll become a medic. The factor being stressed is that the Army is currently very well manned in the medical department, and even though you can enlist with the...

11. Military

    dingus replied to lselvio's topic in Government

    Not sure how it works in Florida, but in California, students who earned a low grade in classes can retake them (with limitations) to raise their GPA, you might want to redo some of the science classes you have low grades in, also all the ADN to BSN ...

    Will you guys be hiring nannies, sending the kids to live with relatives, or boarding schools? Not sure how accommodating your future work schedules will be if you are both active duty. Since it sounds like you guys are planning a big family parentin...

13. Army Nurse Corps Loan Repayment

    dingus replied to fg69401's topic in Government

    Holy stool, they disqualified you for leg tattoos? I have one on the front of my shin maybe a few inches above the pedal pulse area that can be covered by crew socks, does that mean I have no hope too? It's small.

    dingus replied to dingus's topic in Government

    I am very grateful for your insight jfratian. It clarified some confusion I have. It's situational, but I don't plan on enlisting in the reserves until I am closer to completing my current program which will happen next summer, after that I will like...
