  4. Too Green or Too Old?

    just_cause replied to bramwell1's topic in Government, Military

    I would contact your districts health care recruiter and prep a pack to potentially submit this OCT for new fiscal year. Aside from the direct commission to navy nurse you could look at trying to...

  5. Will Officer Accession Pilot Program (OAPP) be available for FY 2011?

    just_cause replied to RN2ndLTTB's topic in Government, Military

    I have only anecdotal comment on this... it was a limited program aimed to have a short term fix on low numbers of junior grade officers in critical positions... since the recent turn of the economy...

  6. Navy or Army nursing

    just_cause replied to xxhoops7609's topic in Government, Military

    Majority of nurses are not deployed, of those most are in hard stands and not 'in the front lines'. There is always a small risk... just as in the AF there are flight nurses which has an inherent...

  7. Air Force Student Loan Repayment (or lack thereof??)

    just_cause replied to SpookyCat's topic in Government, Military

    I'm not familiar with the AF bonuses but I 'feel' like 3 years is incorrect. The loan repayment for both the Army and AF occurs over a 3 years period... each end of the year they pay of 1/3 of the...

  8. advice for a future nurse

    just_cause replied to sarahm24's topic in Washington Nursing

    With your timeline of starting school soon (congrats!) I would look at doing CNA course over the summer OR looking at when your assessment class is conducted because you can call WA DOH and with your...

  9. Interested in joining military while taking nursing classes - need advice

    just_cause replied to nursetobe67's topic in Government, Military

    hwcats, I can't tell if you are starting in an ADN or BSN program. BSN is ideal and a must if you want active duty position as a nurse, a commissioned officer. Getting acceptance letter to BSN is the...

  10. Military ADN

    Are you planning on obtaining BSN to commission as a nurse or ? Best of luck!

  11. how to strengthen application packet for reserves?

    just_cause replied to NSJodi's topic in Government, Military

    it really will depend on what is in your geographic area.. if there is one unit - or 3 units but 1 with open slots of 3 units but one has a mission or specialty that you can bring exp to the table or...

  12. how to strengthen application packet for reserves?

    just_cause replied to NSJodi's topic in Government, Military

    That is all great experience and more then many who will choose to join with a fresh ADN (in Army Reserve) or BSN. I would recommend looking up the units in the vicinity you plan on joining in order...

  13. Military ADN

    just_cause replied to luftjagerCLPN's topic in Government, Military

    I'd like to clarify in the first sentence I'm referring to AF

  14. New Running Plan, etc.

    just_cause replied to Lunah's topic in Government, Military

    ...I'd really look into this because my understanding is your first duty station as a nurse will be at a medcenter... which you haven't listed any. If this isn't the case they might have a general...

  15. Anyone switching from Reserves to Active Army?

    just_cause replied to New1LT's topic in Government, Military

    Its probably listed on your contract... X amount of days/years for every Y days/years using STRAP... Going reserves to active is not always quicker and can be frustrating where the incentives and...

  16. New Running Plan, etc.

    just_cause replied to Lunah's topic in Government, Military

    My understanding is you will likely get one of 7 MEDCENTER locations... carson and hauchuca are not medcenter locations.. perhaps I'm incorrect but that means the number of nursing billets at those...

  17. Military ADN

    just_cause replied to luftjagerCLPN's topic in Government, Military

    All of the above is correct... I've found that the AF will accept ADN with a Bachelors on a case by case basis... I would recommend NOT joining with an ADN as an E3... it would be well worth your...

  18. Weight Requirements

    just_cause replied to chanelle924's topic in Government, Military

    The weight limit is a 'hard' limit... if over then you get tape

  19. Is there any real difference between military and non-military?

    just_cause replied to Raven713's topic in Government, Military

    carolina, great point. Lots of people think the structure and discipline is a burden but in reality it creates a situation where people know what is required of them, it creates a team and it really...

    just_cause replied to xxhoops7609's topic in Government, Military

    Nurses are not with the infantry. Combat Medics and Physician assistant roll with the infantry.... other then that we police our own through CLS and EMT training... stabilize and evac. Nurses are 99%...

  21. Is there any real difference between military and non-military?

    just_cause replied to Raven713's topic in Government, Military

    It's hard to have an idea of what life in the mil is like if you've never been in and only seen movies/tv etc. Usually health care recruiters will offer to give you a day of tour at a local facility -...

  22. Military Nurse

    just_cause replied to keegs13's topic in Government, Military

    keegs, I will toss in that it should be very important early on to look at your primary goal is it to be a nurse or a commissioned AF officer? If you get your BSN you could always transition into the...

    For those who want to be a commissioned officer serving as a nurse the best route is BSN - best as in quickest and most direct. If being an active duty nurse is your goal you could do your 2 yr wait...
