Nursingiscool89, Definitely! Are you part time as well?

I got accepted for NAUs part time FNP Program starting this fall as well. Does anyone else live outside of the Flagstaff area? I am in the Phoenix Metro Area!

By additional duties are you referring to running programs such as..... Infection Control, SABC...that sort of thing? Do you feel like there is a good work-life balance or do you feel like you are constantly working? Just curious :)

I am an experienced ER Nurse (and AF reserve nurse) looking into going on active duty. Are there any AF ER nurses that can tell me what your experiences have been specific to the ER? Differences in active duty versus civilian ER nursing? What type of schedule do you work? Are you allowed to moonlight at all? And lastly...what type of options did you have for assignments? Thanks!

I was (or am) in the same boat as you. I was an Air Force Reservist for 3 yrs when I decided to up and travel. I initially decided to take assignments close to where I was stationed (within a 2 hr plane ride)....but that lasted for all of a yr and a half. I just got tired of constantly flying in for drill weekend. So after attempting to find an IMA position and failing miserably, I decided to go Inactive (IRR) until I got the travel bug out of my system. And my life is so much less stressful :) But I do miss the military...looking forward to the day when I can be in one spot and be a part of it again! Let me know if you have any other questions :)

I can answer questions you have about RCOT...I went 2 yrs ago!

I know it's been a while since you posted this....but I'm curious if you got in and started this program :) I just got accepted for Loyola's Emergency/Family NP Program for January.....and would LOVE your input on their program if you're currently attending :)

I just found out I got into a Family Nurse Practitioner (with Emergency Room Subspecialty) Program at Loyola University Chicago! So excited/nervous...as I start in January!! Curious to see if anyone else is a current NP student there or starting with me :)

Hey I've been with them since September 2010. Prior to that I was a full-time VA staff nurse. The change has been great for me! I've traveled to Fresno, CA and am currently at the San Diego VA. If you have any specific questions, please feel free to send me a message. Eva

Hello! Actually I interviewed and decided against going out there. Instead I am now a traveler for the VA Travel Nurse Corps and currently on my second assignment at the San Diego VA. I'm very happy with my choice, since I wasn't really set on where I wanted to live! Good Luck! Eva

Hello! I am a travel nurse that is currently working in San Diego! I'm here till the beginning of April....and who knows where I'll be after that? I'm 26 and would love to find some people to travel with! Fill me in! Eva

RCOT was definitely a challenging experience...Long days which are usually spent marching, in class (the majority of the time) or doing some sort of field exercises...If you have any specific questions..feel free to PM me!!

I am looking into doing some travel nursing come September! I would love to have a travel buddy as I have never done traveling before!

So I got back from RCOT and managed to survive. It was a grueling experience to say the least. Biggest complaint was probably the lack of sleep....but all in all it was fine. If anyone has any questions on the experience let me know...:)

The day is almost here...I am off to RCOT this Friday. Should be fun :)
