   mrs27smith replied to ICUnurse0301's topic in Critical

   I also used these same two methods mentioned by Okami_RN (I also used Evolve Elsivier's PASS CCRN for the review questions that comes with the book, AMAZING) and just passed my CCRN yesterday with a 97% on my first try. It only took me 1 1/2 hours o...

   My recruiter offered me $45K bonus pay (to be broken down over a 3 year period after I complete flight school) or $50K of student loan repayment.

   Super glad to get an update from you. Sounds like you had an eventful weekend? So yes, all these school must be completed, and you technically don't get your "bonus" (first 1/3 of it for starters) until they have all been completed!!! So I'm super i...

   Ok so quick update, after my physical I was found to be temporarily disqualified because I had an "angioedema" episode (something like anaphylaxis but not as severe). So the MEPS physician and I had a disagreement about rather or not it was consider...

    I got the email from my recruiter today. I was reading the requirements of the attire and such and it kind of made me laugh reading the part about "making sure to shower and wear clean underwear" lol!! But I am set and will be at MEPS at 0530 Wednes...

    mrs27smith replied to mrs27smith's topic in Government

    Yeah he told me he would send me the packet this coming Monday morning so that I can prepare and "have the information fresh on my mind". I assume dress is important to set a precedence for Air Force standards? It would be nice to "move to the head ...

    Thanks Vona86 for that info. I was told I have to be there by 0530. He told me that he was going to send me a packet before my appointment so I know what to expect. Did you get a packet as well, for either physical?

    *gilversplace Just texted my Recruiter with your question and this was his response: Not all bases have C-5s or C-17s. That's the type of aircraft that flight nurse fly aboard to care for patients.

    mrs27smith replied to mrs27smith's topic in Government

    Yeah that was my initial thought as well, but unlike the AD route things are done differently. Recruiter states that he has seen scrolls come back between 1 week and 6 months. I actually had the opportunity to speak to an active reservist who had hi...

    mrs27smith replied to mrs27smith's topic in Government

    The scroll is the paperwork that is sent to the Secretary of Defense with all of your information to be reviewed and approved for your commissioning. Apparently it is the part of the process that takes the longest, which is why my recruiter says tha...
