Does each MOS have its own OML like 66p 66h and so on, or are all 66 MOS on one list? Does one know?

Congrats!!! :) Question: do you mind sharing how many yrs of NP experiece you have and Nurse yrs? Also, how many times you boarded? Just trying to see what my chances are. I feel as if I had pretty strong recommendation letters and many yrs of experience and still not being selected the second time around and being put on the OML was surprising and frustrating. Trying to see what one could do better next time.

Congrats! I'm also a 66P Reserve and frustrated. It's my second run and I'm back on the OML. I started all my paperwork and so on about April of 2016. I guess I'm one of the 22 people on the list. Definitely only have a few yrs left until my age disqualifies me. I have a second recruiter and she knows nothing. My last one was sent to Florida so I lost her. I'm in the DFW area Texas. Always looking for more info. Apparently I can find out more here then from my recruiter.

thank you for that post, I thought it was a little harsh as well, esoecially because I was working in the ER as an Admissions Clerk before I became a GVN. I just didn't want to sound disrespectful and like you said, I also understand her concern in some way. But nobody should be treated like an outsider or differently just because they have epilepsy.

I agree with you, don't take me wrong, that's why I let people know about my condition when I start working, just some heads up for them. I can imagine how hard it had to be having a full ER and then loosing an extra hand pretty much, your're right a unit with more staff would have been much better and less selfish for this nurse.

Hey, I have epilepsy as well. Mine are grandmol seizures, but are totally controlled by meds, I take Depakote, have been taking it since I was 16, before that I was on Tegretol. I am not ashamed at all about it. Actually, I take it to my advantage, becasue I can relate to the patients that have seizures, called empathy. I am still a student finish my RN in May 2007, but I am getting my LVN hopefully in a week (BNE test). Wish me luck. Well, I don't tell during the interviews that I have epilepsy, they don't ask if you have other medical issues as well, as long as you can give 100% at work and have it controlled by medications, there is no need to know at the interview. Now I have told my supervisors afterwards after I establishe a trusting working relationship that I have a history (just in case) but that it is controlled. Nobody ever fired me!!! I would like to hear more. Always open to talk about it. I am glad that the society is looking better at these things because when I grew up (in Germany) and it all started when I was 11 yrs. old, I was ashamed of mentioning it and worried about the reactions. I had even lost some good friends because of my disorder, I guess they were maybe afraid, didn't know much about it? Hell, I didn't know anything about Epilepsy until I got it (still don't know if it was from a car-accident where I hit my head, or what). Can you imagine how hard it was telling a boyfriend ? I have been married for 10yrs, happily (he has a sister w. epilepsy, so he undertood and wasn't afraid), 2 great and healthy kids. Love my Life, and love becoming a NURSE!!!
