Are there any school nurses that are PNP's? If so, do you get paid more than a school nurse that just has a BSN?

knwgolf, Maybe if you live in another state, the interview will be over the phone. I would ask Beth about that if I were you. The interviewer was basically telling you about the program, letting you know how intense it is and finding out if you hav...

I have accepted a position as a critical care nurse working on a PINS unit (Post Intensive Care). My plan is to work for a year, then come back in the Air Force as an active duty nurse. But my question is what type of job will I be offered? Will t...

AF nurse only have 4 NICU assignments: Lackland, TX; Langley, VA; Landstuhl, Germany; and Japan.

Congrats, that's awesome!!!

I just want to know if you have to complete SOS by correspondence before you are allowed to attend in- residence?

Thank you

How do you find out about the "Call For Canidates"? Where does this information come from?

JPETERS84, Yes, I have worked as a civilian RN in the NICU for over a year now.

I just found out that I am going to Landsthul, Germany in June. If anyone has been stationed here please share some insight on the country, places to stay, or anything else that might be of importance. Thanks.

Do you mind if I PM you with some questions?

Not unless they have changed their policy within the last year. She joined our unit last Feb (2008) without a BSN.

Are there any AF IMA nurses out there? If so, I would like to know if you like it? Are there chances for a lot of deployments? Is your work schedule pretty flexible where you work when you want to work just as long as you meet your IMA obligations...

If you are working as a RN although you do not have your BSN you can join the Air National Guard. We have a nurse in our unit that's a 2Lt (have been in the unit for a year now getting ready to go to COT) working as a crititcal care nurse and her ci...

I was wondering what is the NTP like exactly? Is it just brushing up on skills? Classroom work and clinical? Doing homework and having so many tests before completion? Does anyone fail out/not pass it? Do you have free time on the weekends to...

They strongly advice you against working while in the program, but a lot of people had to work and continued to work. They did just fine in the program. If you can manage it all, know how to prioritize then you shouldn't have any problems. We even...

Yes, I had an interview. It wasn't anything to stress out or worry about. If you have all your pre reqs completed and a good gpa, I don't see any reason why you wouldn't be accepted. On your interview day, you will also have to take a math test.

Do anyone know if there is a tool somewhere on the internet where you can put in a list of symptoms/characteristics and it will give you an accurate diagnoses?

I just started working at Children's Hospital in the NICU as a RN and I am also in the Air National Guard as a Critical Care Nurse (with the ICU identifier E). My plan is to work for a while to gain experience as a nurse then come back on active dut...

Thank you so much for all of the wonderful advice!!! Good luck to you also in your CRNA school.

My ultimate goal concerning the Air Force is to become accepted into an AFIT slot so I can become a nurse practitioner.

It is a step down unit. But the nurses sometimes float to ICU.

Yes, it's a step down unit - the patients are stable enough to leave ICU but they are still unstable for med surg.

I am a new grad and was just hired to work in PINS. I was just wondering what is a typical day like for you? What type of patients do you get? What is the nurse to patient ration? Do you like the unit? Any advice to a new nurse? Thanks

Are there any nicu nurses here in the military; particularly in the Air Force? I was wondering if you enjoyed your job? Are there many bases to choose from in this field? Is it hard to become a nicu nurse in the military if you are already one as ...
