    I did indeed read that part; just thought perhaps your school also offered a streamlined doctorate option as well. Thanks anyways!
  2. Foreign trained MD

    @babyNP, I would also like the name of that institution as well. I am looking for a strong (but shorter) DNP option. Im currently a FNP. Thanks!
  3. USPHS

    Hey...I just came in again with the canceling of the orders. I am not sure I am understanding correctly. I did hear about the new health care bill, etc etc but I really didnt think it was going to affect any officers like that. Plus, we have a new of...

    No, only thing you NEED for graduation was the khaki uniforms. The windbreaker/sweaters came in handy for early morning formations, etc when it was breezy out. But besides that, no. Im not sure how the weather is this time of year...PS I ordered almo...

    Congrats Viper!!!! YAY!!!!
  6. When you go for USPHS - when do you get your physical?

    Definitely EXPENSIVE, and the 250 uniform allowance barely scratches the surface for all the uniforms youll need. BTW, if any one needs BDUs, I have about 3-4 sets BRAND NEW but theyre too big. Theyre size medium long in both the tops and bottoms. A ...
  7. When you go for USPHS - when do you get your physical?

    It was immediate! I didnt even get my HR paperwork until late...I submitted the oath via fax and they cut orders like the next day or two. It moved very quickly. Also, your clearance can be done and not reflect on the site quite yet...Im keeping my f...
  8. When you go for USPHS - when do you get your physical?

    I didnt have to move actually. I secured a position near my hometown at an Army base, so I lucked out. Hopefully, they will get it done before them; it can be done! Have you been in contact with the security personnel? I believe her name was Helen, o...
  9. When you go for USPHS - when do you get your physical?

    Yeah, just stay in touch..things seemed to get expedited once I had a job offer, so hopefully both of your security checks will get pushed through as well. Im sure mine did if I got the clearance BEFORE they heard from my references,lol. Good luck to...
  10. When you go for USPHS - when do you get your physical?

    Mine took about 60 days or so; but I had never had a security clearance before. @viper, the level one is the minimum that youre required to achieve; the standards seem to be a bit more lax than the other services. I dont know much about the president...
  11. When you go for USPHS - when do you get your physical?

    @charming46, yes, about 6 months before my tour is done (3 years) they are going to review my file again and then make a decision based on that. If everything is fine, then Im good to go, to serve without any restrictions. If not, then I am not reall...

    Does anyone know wear I can order the PHS badge for the BDUs??? I really new to get one ASAP!! :)
  13. FNP with little inpatient/hospital experience

    Hello, I am in a similar position. I am a relatively new nurse ( graduated May 2008) and I ve worked in psych and in public health. I loved public health, and most of my patients were "well" and occassionally acutely ill but of course all we did was ...
  14. Nurse practitioner

    Well, I am currenlty in FNP school...Correct me if Im wrong, but I believe you can teach with an FNP degree. A professor of mine had her MSN in FNP. Also, cant you obtain the psych qualificiation/certification if you finish your FNP? Just seems like ...

    Q-tip was probably confused with "E-Quip." Its a pain, really! But its the online process where you input all your info to secure your security clearance.
