    Air Force Nurse Boards Jan 2020

    No idea what irr is but that sucks! But isn't the board already reviewing/have reviewed your app? So even if your app has to be placed on hold temporarily, hopefully that doesn't affect the results! Anyone heard anything from their recruiters about r...

    I won't disclose location but I simply did a google search for the answers and anything I didn't know/couldn't answer fully I asked my interviewer. So long as you did your research and show a willingness to learn, you'll be fine!

    Air Force Nurse Boards October 2019

    I know right!! I applied for clinical nursing last board and got flat out rejected and it’s now all filled up according to my recruiter but she says they still need mental health RN so to reapply for next board specifically for it! 2nd time applying ...

    Air Force Nurse Boards Jan 2020

    You def need an appt. I showed up at meps on a date my recruiter told me to go but when I showed up I was told I wasn’t on the list and couldn’t process. I was told if I was enlisted I could get away with a walk in but officers needed an appt. I had ...

    Air Force Nurse Boards Jan 2020

    Yeah sometimes the docs in meps can be a bit of a douche. My doc wasn’t exactly all sparkles and rainbows, failed meps my first time and the doc wasn’t very kind about it ? Did you check with your recruiter about remaining clinical nursing spots? I w...

    Welcome! And yup, got MEPS done last summer. I went through the waiting game last board, so hoping 2nd time is easier. Thankfully I don't have to wait until next Sept to reapply so I'm grateful.

    2nd attempt, welp. At least my application - for the most part - stays the same.

    SoOoOoOoOoOo my AF recruiter got back to me today and said I can reapply for the Jan boards. Imma go for it. I ain't going anywhere, huzzah.

    Navy Nurse Requirements

    Hey I'll give my 2 cents since I've went/going through the process for both AF and Navy. Make sure you're in a specialty you enjoy. Yes, Navy love them dat ICU experience, but do it because you want to, not because it'll make you more competitive. ...

    Air Force Nurse Boards October 2019

    Thanks!! Imma soak in this feeling of failure for a little bit (what was wrong with my application, sob) and start fresh tomorrow. Here's to another year...... I guess no news of OTS date? If I was selected, I would be ready to go asap. Hopefully y'a...

    Navy FY2020

    Anyone know if there’s any med surg or psych quotas left for FY20 for those applying for Jan/Feb boards?

    Air Force Nurse Boards October 2019

    Did they tell yall when you’re going to TFOT/OTS or just you were selected? Just so I know if they want you to start Feb vs June, timing wise. Less than a yr experience. I is noob with a non-critical care specialty so that’s probs why AF was like nah...

    Air Force Nurse Boards October 2019

    I thought I had a chance though! Not even waitlisted, just straight up not selected. Oh man, to wait another whole year I dunno how yall did it. When do you guys have OTS? Did they tell you your duty station as well?

    Air Force Nurse Boards October 2019

    Non-select but it was my first time applying. Guess I’ll shoot for Navy this upcoming board if I can’t resubmit to the AF in January.

    Air Force Nurse Boards October 2019

    Got a text from my recruiter. Basically, she heard nothing yet. If results were gonna drop today, I'm sure she would have told me. Hoping we both get surprised today though, eek.

    I haven’t heard anything from my recruiter but I’ll send her a text now and see if she heard anything....

    Insane how we can't even take recruiters word for it if they say "early this week" or "mid-Nov". I guess when we hear something is...... when we hear something. Whoop.

    Air Force Nurse Boards October 2019

    I reached out to my recruiter and she said nothing is confirmed yet with release date(s). So I'm hoping we DO hear something in the next few days if not tomorrow.

    Air Force Nurse Boards October 2019

    Hear, hear! I really do hope they release results next week but if they haven't even made selection yet then it doesn't seem likely.

    Air Force Nurse Boards October 2019

    That's what I heard from my (awesome new) recruiter. Release estimated mid-Nov, no selections have been made despite whatever others said, and reason unknown other than the board is undermanned and not enough people to read through the amount of appl...

    "SELECTIONS HAVE BEEN MADE" /DEAD

    Air Force Nurse Boards October 2019

    So I finally heard something (got a new recruiter and she seems to be on top of things, thank lord) and got an estimate of "mid-Nov", reason unknown. Imma just live my best life until the AF decides to release results. The hurry up and wait is real.
