NTP in Scottsdale, AZ

[SpookyCat]

Hey All,

I will be attending COT starting on 08/23/2010 and then graduating on 09/24/2010. After, I will be heading directly to NTP in Scottsdale, AZ. I had a few questions.

Is it true that NTP at this location is not completed in a military hospital but rather at a couple different civilian hospitals?

I was told that I will work with a preceptor in different clinical areas. What areas are included in this?

Where do they house you for NTP and how far away is it from where I'll work?

What items or clothing should I bring with me and what items should I be prepared to purchase? Will I have to buy scrubs or specific shoes?

Anyone else out there going to this location at the same time?

Any other comments on this location or about your experiences at NTP itself are welcomed and greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Hi SpookyCat,

I'm attending the same COT and NTP as you. :) Here is a website about NTP at Scottsdale that I found helpful. http://www.shc.org/shcwww/Medical+Services/Trauma+Center/Military+Training/USAF+Nurse+Transition+Program/Getting+Ready+for+the+NTP

I'll see you next month at Maxwell and take care!

Thank You Soooo Much!! This was VERY helpful!!!
