  2. Personal References - HELP!

  13. NO bonus and NO student loan repayment to join USAF?

    I'm wondering, is it possible that they give out bonuses by region? Just a thought I wanted to throw out there. That could explain why some people are getting them and others

    LCDR Dan, Could you explain to me how the GI bill works? I know when I get to OTS (AF) I have to choose whether or not I wish to participate but I'm not sure exactly what it will do for me and how...
  21. USAF nursing corps application process

    Hi meshell, I went the apply-after-becoming-an-RN route so I can't be of help in the step-by-step area. It sounds like you are wanting a program that will give you money for school while you are in...
  22. St. David's Health care, Austin, Texas

    I can't speak to the med-surg units specifically, but I have worked for both hospitals. Hands down Seton treats their nurses better. They also pay a bit more than St. Davids too. If I were to go back...
