   mmanzella18 replied to carolinapooh's topic in Government

   Okay. I think it's similar in the Air Force as well. This whole process has been grueling! I began my application in March 2017 and I'm still unable to commission. My recruiter is not the greatest at responding so I appreciate the help. Not reall...

4. Quick Tip for ANYONE considering nursing in the military

   mmanzella18 replied to carolinapooh's topic in Government

   Can you explain what constructive credit is? I haven't heard that phrase yet. So since my GPA isn't high enough, I straight up need to get the year of experience as my other option to join? Then once I hit my year I can finally apply to the board? I...

   Oh hey! Sorry about that, it's a YouTube channel! Go to YouTube and type in "oasis" and it's got tons of medical topics that are reviewed by physicians, but put into cartoons that make it extremely easy to understand and follow. It saved me!

   I found out back in May that I was a non-select. I am re-applying for the start of the next fiscal year. The board is in Sept and my recruiter told me I should expect to hear back in Oct. My recruiter told me I received 9/10 marks from both interv...

    mmanzella18 replied to sfrederick2011's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Not a problem! It's a lot of info being thrown at you, but that portfolio that I'm talking about, keep things like number of IVs started, # of Foley's performed, etc, because like I said, not everyone will even get the chance to do them! So it'll se...

    Hey, current accelerated BSN student here. My first word of advice, do your research on the school! Read reviews, talk to current students, and see what people say about the program. Secondly, I would recommend making a student portfolio with eve...

    Hey! Current ABSN nursing student here! I can tell you right now, it is NOTHING like your first bachelors degree. Even as the type a that you say you are, you will have to become comfortable with not getting an A in every class. It will not happe...

    25 year old here! I went to school and completed my bachelors degree at 23 and guess what? I couldn't find a job. Went back to school for engineering and just like you, I decided that (on top of it not being for me), it would take too damn long. ...
