    MCHnurse replied to Gennaver's topic in Government, Military

  3. how long is too long??

    MCHnurse replied to drew9319's topic in Government, Military

    Gen's probably right; if they "lost" it for awhile, it will probably make the next board. I was in your situation back in December. My packet was submitted in November and I did'nt hear until...

  4. Physical requirements to be a Navy nurse

    MCHnurse replied to NavyCheerGirl's topic in Government, Military

    I remember when I was pregnant I got those HAs too. It was so torturous that my MD told me to continue with one cup per day to save myself the pain. Weaning is good! Thanks NavyNurse06! The...

  5. Physical requirements to be a Navy nurse

    MCHnurse replied to NavyCheerGirl's topic in Government, Military

    MCHnurse replied to Allemse's topic in Government, Military

  9. NICU Nurses Questions,

    MCHnurse replied to CaringT's topic in Government, Military

    That is crazy! Well we know where she could request to go if she wants to work NICU. Apparently the detailer I spoke to was *not* talking about Germany. Thanks for sharing...that means good...

  10. NICU Nurses Questions,

    MCHnurse replied to CaringT's topic in Government, Military

    I certainly won't disagree here since I'm not yet in the military and I have no first-hand knowledge. I think the point my detailer was trying to get across is that there are many overseas sites that...

  11. NICU Nurses Questions,

    MCHnurse replied to CaringT's topic in Government, Military

    I'm no expert on this but ironically I had a conversation with my detailer today and we talked about this exact subject. As navynurse06 said, the Navy does have NICUs and they do utilize Navy nurses....

    MCHnurse replied to drew9319's topic in Government, Military

  15. Physical requirements to be a Navy nurse

    MCHnurse replied to NavyCheerGirl's topic in Government, Military

    It's funny that you say that because that's what I thought when I was asked to submit over 15 pictures of myself in different poses wearing a t-shirt, a scrub top, and a dress shirt. If they had...

  16. Physical requirements to be a Navy nurse

    MCHnurse replied to NavyCheerGirl's topic in Government, Military

  19. Questions for new Navy nurses

    MCHnurse replied to MCHnurse's topic in Government, Military

    Okay, you are going to have to pardon my stupid question here. I was looking at a calendar trying to figure this out, and if what I'm doing is correct, then there are weeks that you might work 5 12s...

    MCHnurse replied to NavyCheerGirl's topic in Government, Military

    MCHnurse replied to btsteven's topic in Government, Military

    Hi Steven, Gen makes a very good point about the monetary aspects of going in as a student versus commissioning after graduation. I never looked into going in as a student, but if Gen's figure is...
