Thank you everyone for the updates! I'm anxiously waiting as well. "Hurry up and wait" is definitely REAL! Haha

Has anyone heard any updates about when we might find out something?

I believe the board meets in July so probably August 4th! I'm anxiously waiting though. I can't wait! Haha

I haven't heard anything! I planned on contacting my recruiter soon if I didn't hear anything by mid-August. This wait is killing me!

My application has been submitted! Now we wait :) Does anyone know about when we'll find out if we're in or not? Usually mid-August, right? I've seen different dates when looking at various threads. I'm assuming it really depends on when the board comes to a decision though.

Thank you! Yes, just as jfratian said, it's questions just like that. My chief nurse also asked me what I would bring to the Air Force, why I wanted to join, how I would adjust to military life, if I understood the PT requirements, and she also asked me the mission statement of the USAF so make sure you look over that and the core values!! Honestly, it started out as more of an "interview" with those questions, but eventually turned into more of a conversation about the Air Force. It wasn't bad at all! Of course you'll be nervous, but just be confident and you'll do great! :) I'll be sure to let ya know how MEPS goes!!

Hey there! I just had my Chief Nurse interview today & I am so relieved that it's over! 🙈 It wasn't bad at all, but just like any other interview I was a little nervous going into it. Now I feel like I can finally breathe a little bit. I'm also scheduled to go to MEPS next week...apparently all of the slots for DoDMERB were filled so I have to get my physical this way. That's awesome that you plan to do mental health! Super interesting specialty. I plan to do critical care in the future, but who knows where I'll end up. I'm excited! 😊

You have to contact a health professions recruiter! I believe how I did it was I went on the USAF website and was able to type in my location and it gave me a list of the closest health professions recruiters & their contact info!

Yes! I have already submitted all paperwork & I won't graduate until August. Have you contacted a recruiter? Since you have already been a nurse you would go in as fully qualified, and wouldn't have to go through the Nurse Transition program as I will have to go to. I'm not sure exactly when you would start your paperwork, but I would contact a recruiter if you haven't already done so to get their opinion on that. :)

That's really good to hear! I'm super nervous, but I'm sure as long as I go into it confidently I'll be okay.

Well I'm glad it went well for you!! You're right, it's probably a good idea to do so. The more experience, the better! So from my understanding, the earliest we could leave for COT would be October? Or is that for FQ only, and it would be more like January before we could leave?

Nice! I am also applying for Med-Surg. I had no idea they had rules about getting LASIK prior to joining...I'm sure you will get a waiver of some sort though! I'm really curious as to how many applicants there will be, or what the acceptance rate is for NTP. I'm debating on if I should start applying for jobs just as a backup plan, or if I should just wait & see first. Since I'm graduating in August, that will be right around the time that we should be finding out who got selected...How did the CN interview go?

Hi everyone! So I'm currently in nursing school & I will be graduating in August 2017 with my BSN. Anyone else applying for the July selection boards? I've already submitted all of my paperwork/LOR's, and my recruiter said that my CN interview is going to be within the next 3 weeks...so exciting! I've read a ton of forums from people that have applied for NTP in the past, and they seem to be very insightful/encouraging...so I just figured I'd reach out and see who else might be applying this year! :)

Hi everyone! Not sure if this is the correct thread, or if I should be posting on the FY 2018 one...but I'm currently in nursing school, and I will be graduating in August 2017 with my BSN. I've already submitted all my paperwork to my recruiter and all of my LOR's have been sent in. Right now I'm just waiting to hear back from my recruiter about when my CN interview will be (he said it will be within the next 3 weeks). Does anyone know when the boards meet? If so, which boards will my application be reviewed under? I'm just a little confused about this whole process. Any insight would be greatly appreciated!! :)
