   aktexas replied to laneyg's topic in Government

   @laneyg, my recruiter said the same thing. Only 22 were selected.

2. Air Force October 2010

   aktexas replied to Mommy of 2's topic in Government

   I've heard that the next Board is in April, but it is only to backfill any positions where someone backed out. Other than that, the next Board does not meet until next fiscal year, which is October, 2011.

3. Air Force October 2010

   aktexas replied to Mommy of 2's topic in Government

   I can tell you that no new nurse graduates went before this last board. The AF decided to have a separate NTP board. Our board was rescheduled for January and then cancelled altogether. They are not accepting any more applications for graduate nur...

4. What the heck is going on?!

   aktexas replied to Nire83's topic in General Nursing

   Scary that there are nurses who don't know the difference between Type I & Type II!!!!!

5. US Navy Nurse Active Duty board 10/22

   aktexas replied to Oldlove's topic in Government

   I spoke to a Navy recruiter today, and she said they have an urgent need for Psych RN's so that should be good news for you! Good luck!

6. waiting, Air Force Nurse Corps

   aktexas replied to Wac44's topic in Government

   I would not even mention the asthma dx if I were you, especially if it was rescinded and you do not have asthma. In my experience, they only need copies of specific medical records if you have any red flags in your past medical history. For instanc...

7. Next Air Force NTP Boards in 2010?

   aktexas replied to nguyenhnic's topic in Government

   Yes, that is true. The AF decided to have only one Board for new nurse graduates, and it is set for January 2011. My recruiter said that the earliest I will probably go to COT is August because I do not graduate until May, and I have to take the NC...

   Good luck!!! I hope to be there this time next year.

9. Schedule as an AF nurse

   aktexas replied to AFFam's topic in Government

   On a somewhat related note, does anyone know what it is like to be a single mother and a nurse in the AF? Reading all of these posts, I am starting to get worried. My son will be 12 when I get in (hopefully) next year. I'm just worried about going...

10. Age limits/requirements

    aktexas replied to AOX4RN's topic in Government

    Not sure how accurate this is, but I was told that it is very difficult to "cross over" from the Reserves to AD. I had thought about going that route and was advised against it. As for AD Air Force, I do know that you just have to be eligible to re...

11. Going to MEPS

    aktexas replied to snp81's topic in Government

    That's odd. I went to MEPS in Dallas and wore a black sports bra and had no problems. For the neuromuscular part, I felt much more comfortable in my sports bra. My recruiter told me that I could wear scrubs, so I did and was very comfortable all d...

12. Air Force Nurse Pay

    aktexas replied to UTstudent's topic in Government

    In my opinion, I would join the AF first and then go back to get your MSN. That way the AF will pay for it. I think they are really big on education. I am graduating in May of next year with my BSN and hopefully will be selected this January. I'm...

13. US Air Force COT 10-06

    aktexas replied to luvbug080688's topic in Government

    My recruiter's email address changed about a week ago. The 'rs' in the email address became 'randolph'. Maybe all of them changed. I was worried when my email bounced back.

14. College Loans/Future Education/Salary questions

    aktexas replied to Gazi's topic in Government

    Yes, I have it in writing. You're right in that there are less funds for loan repayment, and you have to wait for it to be approved. I waived the bonus and applied for the loan repayment, although I have been debating whether I should change it or ...

15. College Loans/Future Education/Salary questions

    aktexas replied to Gazi's topic in Government

    According to my recruiter, the current bonuses/loan repayment options for nurses are: $40k loan repayment - 3 year commitment (Your loans are not paid off in one lump sum. You provide the AF with all of your loan info, prioritize which loan you want...
