  1. Needing some advice and opinions... kinda down:(

    just_cause replied to mom2three3's topic in Government, Military

    That is a tough decision and I recently was in a somewhat similar dilemma. I'd say some things that are important are: How long will you and husband be at current duty station. This might drive what...

  3. Navy or Army nursing

    just_cause replied to xxhoops7609's topic in Government, Military

    .... I always am in culture shock when people refer to 'front lines' as simply being in Iraq or Afg... I accept that as part of the job or an expectation. Nurses are 99.9% not on what is considered...

  4. Complicated situation, is this possible?

    just_cause replied to Vanillanut's topic in Government, Military

    I'd recommend a bit more searching on your own before purely relying on a civilian operated cyber recruiter that likely is not within a health recruiting capacity and probably does have as much as a...

  5. Navy Nurse Candidate Program

    just_cause replied to rockytopRN2b's topic in Government, Military

    ...or you can look up the reg yourself. It specifically talks about the online.. the accred requirements along with few provision specifics. That is what I did on the army side of the house - all the...

    just_cause replied to Vanillanut's topic in Government, Military

    Incorrect "absolute" comment above. Recent years health care initiatives in the Army have afforded X slots to NON-citizens to serve as Commissioned officers. With the navy... unk if they have a...

  8. Submitting packets to multiple services

    just_cause replied to BentleyJazzie's topic in Government, Military

    I would not recommend it. when each recruiter has to acquire your physical from MEPS they will probably wonder why it was taken for a different service. I'd select the service you want - focus on...

  9. Navy Nurse Candidate Program Interview

    just_cause replied to DSchulte99's topic in Government, Military

    I haven't done that particular interview.. BUT would remember this - you can be their ideal candidate. Present confidence, your potential based on past experience and goals. Common questions: what is...

    just_cause replied to midinphx's topic in Government, Military

    That being said... you can look at organization of nurses, you can then see the number that are MTOE units vs TDA. I think you will find a very % of nursing billets that by design unable to deploy. I...

    just_cause replied to OlyNP2b's topic in Washington Nursing

    They recently did a fall and winter admission date... the school campus is really nice and all nursing classes are in one building... don't worry on the cumulative gpa - just their pre-req grading...

  12. Accepted! South Puget Sound Community College

    just_cause replied to OlyNP2b's topic in Washington Nursing

    On SPSCC's website they have an info packet that lists how they create a ranking list by a computed score, and then you can then call the advisor to see what the cutoff score was previously so you can...

  13. COT and running

    just_cause replied to shayT!'s topic in Government, Military

    Bear in mid that other things beside PT regs happen.. most army posts (for example) running or walking or biking or moving with headphones is unauthorized unless in a gym or inside in order to prevent...

  14. More Military Schooling Qs

    just_cause replied to DrCOVID's topic in Government, Military

  16. UW BSN vs. SU BSN

    just_cause replied to sarahm24's topic in Washington Nursing

    I am. I've been quite happy with everything. That being said there are always areas that can be improved - but I'm not critical of what I see as 'details' and have not felt my learning is impaired by...

  17. Army Nurse Corp and experience requirement

    just_cause replied to Mydreamjob's topic in Government, Military

    That is correct because gaining specialty identifiers is based on hours of experience... 2000 hours. However, four specialties (OB, CritCar, Psch, OR) can gain a future course guarantee into their...

  18. Army Nurse Corp and experience requirement

    just_cause replied to Mydreamjob's topic in Government, Military

    MBARN08. No nursing experience is required to be commissioned in the nurse corp - if this was this case 1) board would be populated with it, 2) MILPER or AR change or official Memo to HRC would be...

  19. Married on active duty

    just_cause replied to Schuur451's topic in Government, Military

    I've been married to spouse while both were active duty and then while I was just active duty. Granted this was combat arms branch which, IMHO, was more time demanding and less predictable then...

  20. A day in the life. Military Nursing

    just_cause replied to midinphx's topic in Government, Military

    Actually when previous poster referred to PAs receiving trauma - I think it is important to make sure people know the distinction... PAs positions vary but they are the ones on the front line... often...

  21. Army Nurse Corp and experience requirement

    just_cause replied to Mydreamjob's topic in Government, Military

    Its also having to do with when the course is scheduled, slots available in school - slots available at your unit - # of peeps ahead of you... that being said there are a lot of positives to having...

  23. UW BSN vs. SU BSN

    just_cause replied to sarahm24's topic in Washington Nursing
