    Spoke with a friend to day who was also applying for the AF and she said she didnt get accepted. I was so scared to call my recruiter that it took me about 4 hours to get the strength to do so....

    tee_byrd replied to Mommy of 2's topic in Government, Military

    Trina.. I understand what your saying. My best advice would be to still try to get your CCRN (it doesn't hurt to have that under your belt) and to figure out where else you wish to do. As for me, I'm...

    tee_byrd replied to Mommy of 2's topic in Government, Military

    Thanks Danegerous ! Well with that being said, I guess I didn't get accepted because I was also applying for an ICU spot. This really sucks! Well if I can still apply, then I will keep doing so until...

    tee_byrd replied to IowaRNBSN's topic in Government, Military

    Well, I think you can tell your manager that you were thinking of joining the Reserves and that you needed a recommendation letter. I dont know if you want it known that your thinking of leaving...

  15. What branch of Military to become a nurse in?

    tee_byrd replied to NurseBrandin's topic in Government, Military

    I agree with jeckrn. You should talk to different branches and see which is right for you. Make sure it's an healthcare recruiter and not enlisted being that you'll be completing your BSN in 2011....

  16. Qualified air force nurse?

    tee_byrd replied to Mommy of 2's topic in Government, Military

    I'm not sure if you would be qualified or not with your 6 months of experience, but I dont think that NTP would be bad. It will help you get your skills back since you havent worked since 2009. I...

  17. Future Air Force nurse here with lots of questions!

  20. Qualified air force nurse?

    tee_byrd replied to Mommy of 2's topic in Government, Military

    I believe you would still have to go to NTP... if I'm not mistaken. The 6 months that you worked would only be considered 3 months for the military.. This is the information I got since I'm currently...
