1. Medical Waiver

   bafelly replied to bafelly's topic in Government

   I have pestered him and even had to go above him. Recently he told me he is "on the way out" so I am sure that has a lot to do with it...

2. Medical Waiver

   bafelly posted a topic in Government

   I am currently applying to go active in the Air Force as a nurse. I am curious about anyone's experience with needing a medical waiver. My recruiter told me that I was not PDC (permanently disqualified) which he said is a good sign however, they need...

3. TCRN

   bafelly posted a topic in Emergency

   I am interested in taking the TCRN. I want to do this by the end of Feb 2018. I have looked for review courses around me and there are none between now and then. That being said, for anyone who has taken TCRN how did you study? What did you use? I se...

4. AF interview with CNO

   bafelly replied to bafelly's topic in Government

   What area of nursing did you interview for? Do you feel like it went well? I didn't think we got to know the results of the interview, were you told that we would find out?

5. AF Officer Guide Book/Prepare for DDA and COT

   bafelly replied to RenaissanceGal's topic in Government

   Hey, Thanks or any input on COT. A few questions since I am finishing up my process of trying to commission. I was told by my recruiter that benefits and pay start on day 1 of COT, is this not true? I don't know many people that can afford to live w...

   bafelly replied to bafelly's topic in Government

   Thank you so much for the heads up. My recruiter said he is going to contact me today (we shall see, he's not the most on top of things) for us to "prep"

7. AF interview with CNO

   bafelly replied to bafelly's topic in Government

   Thanks for the ideas about questions. I don't even know where to begin with questions. I'm sure I have a lot since I'd be transitioning from civilian life to military life with a family and all

   Hey All, I just got word that my interview with the CNO is next week here in NC. I was wondering if anyone had any tips or could give me insight on how it might go or what I should prepare for? My recruiter is not the most helpful person or easiest t...

10. Commissioning into AF question(s)

    bafelly posted a topic in Government

    I am interested in commissioning into the AF as an RN (hoping for the November 2017 board). I have written a previous post to ask questions about the process however I am wondering is it normal to have such a difficult time communicating with the rec...

11. Thinking about AF nursing & have ?'s

    bafelly replied to bafelly's topic in Government

    Since you have commissioned fairly recently, how was the interview? My recruiter said in a meeting last week its "very casual" and even to dress casually. I found that kind of odd, but he knows more than me. I have just never considered interviews as...

    bafelly replied to bafelly's topic in Government

    If you do not mind me asking what they DQ'd you for & how recent it was? My recruiter said he thinks I am going to be ok (I had a recent physical and passed with flying colors all labs and everything and I even had my doc write a letter recommend...

    bafelly replied to bafelly's topic in Government

    Did you go into the AF or work your way toward flight nursing? That is my end goal. Just wondering how the AF works with that.

15. Thinking about AF nursing & have ?'s

    bafelly replied to bafelly's topic in Government

    I am serious about the military, there just has not been a real motivator in my civilian life to take the test. There are surrounding hospitals that offer $1k bonuses and reimbursement for passing but my employer does not offer anything like that. I ...
