Hello, I am applying to the online PNP program ay maryville university for spring. This is a very new program and I know the chances of getting someone to respond that is in the program is low. So if you have any information on this school and their ...

I am very torn between this school and another one. I have been accepted to south and I'm still trying to get all my application stuff in for the other school to see if i am accepted there. I was supposed to start south on the 6th and backed out last...

I am starting school at South University at the beginning of August as long as my military funding goes through; however, after reading all the posts and reviews I am a bit nervous. I know I should have researched a bit more before committing, but th...

I have read a few times in a few theads on this forum, nurses saying the ANC board was in October. My healthcare recruiter is doing my packet for the November 5th board. I was told that is the only board available for Army Nurse Corps positions. Is m...

hmm I head a week ago that the number would be 42 selected. see how all this chitter chatter mixes things up. Oh well When it happens it happens right?

though I have yet to go to the board, Just from reading here and talking with others you will receive your orders anywhere from 2 weeks to around a month after finding out you are commissioned. That will have your date for bolc, though some have gott...

This would obviously have to be a total opinion piece, but I know there are many nurses on this forum that have already been through the process, and have read stories of other nurses. What do you think my chances are of getting selected for active d...

Hello all, I have a question that could hopefully be simple. I am on track right now for the Army Nurse Corps boards this november 5th 2012. My husband and I would love Rep. of Korea to be my first duty assignment. By that I mean accompanied husband ...

Thanks you MaumauMom, I hope so much that I do, and thanks for your suggestions also. Talking with my hsband we decided, it wasnt worth an unaccompanied tour, to put Korea ont he list. Would rather not risk it. Gonna cross fingers for Ft. Lewis/Ft. S...

240zRN thanks for your reply, I know I stand a chance against some graduating nurses, But, I am just worried about the sheer numbers. From what I have heard so far they are selecting 42 out of 400+. That part scares me. I hope you get it good luck. I...

what are you talking about lady? I too have been in a military family. The post that you claim I was boasting, was literally there for someone to tell me if I stood a fighting chance. BTW a know it all? Nothing I stated at all had to do with my nursi...

I was going to just let this go but decided not to. kcmylorn, to preface this incoming post I want you to know a few things. this thread was for constructive criticism and some pointers which I have already received from a few people in the community...

My standardized score was 111, I do not show any percentage score. Just a " Standard score(*): 111 This is your total score expressed as a standardized scale. Nice to hear you have been in so long, you must be looking forward to retirement now. cong...

LunahRN I would love to ask you a few things, not sure how to PM on this forum but I have just a few questions for you.

Thanks Lunah, I have that certification but I would love to get the CC specialty course in my orders. One of the reasons I would chose Ft Lewis or Ft Sam as my first duty station for that training. I hope they select me I would love to give them ever...

Thank your for your post. Just from personal experience I can tell you alot has changed. The surrounding communites are awesome, we loved them aboslutely. There used to be protesting and rioting in the early 90's and around 2001-2002, the latter was ...

Italy is such a small presence I think it would be pretty hard to get there, and I wouldnt want to go to germany.

My husband and myself loved it also. We were both small town types, until we went to Korea. We would love our children to experience a culture so different from our own, and see the world.

lol, So when I said yes they have hospitals, and yes there are accompanied tours, and that i thought you may be misinformed I was right. Alot of text there. Basically my question still stands. What are the chances of getting an accompanied tour to Ko...

Not sure when that was that you are speaking of. There are hardship tours in Korea. Where you go for 12 months unaccompanied. But, there are 2 and 3 year tours, there is a large hospital, I actually got a cast on a broken ankle at it. right now there...

Thank you kcmylorn, but that is incorrect. There are accompanied tours as well as on post housing most on Yongsan. I am shighsmith's husband. I spent over a year there. And there isa very nice hospital. Just hope I can get a chance to accompany my w...

I live in jacksonville my husband was born here and this is where we moved when he left the Army in 2004. Jacksonville is a beautiful city, as is Orange Park. There are bad parts of town on the westside of the city but for the most part it is so awes...

Actually When I said I would hope I got selected I meant forthe Nurse boards to get a commission. I know you couldnt tell me that or not. I hear so much there are only around 40 slots for this november 2012 board kinda makes me scared, that I wont ge...

I am actually looking to go in next year as well. I am due to graduate in June. I am unsure about going in the summer though, lol. It sounds very hot. I do live in Florida which might help and I am very cold natured so I think I might be ok, but I kn...
