  1. TALKED TO A RECRUITER..is this TRUE???

    The Little Greek replied to KDRUS22's topic in Government, Military

    it seems that the information you have received is a mixture of different things. there is a $25k sign-on for bsns (i believe it's on the navy website too). if you do a nurse candidate program in...

  2. Alaska anyone??

    The Little Greek posted a topic in Government, Military

    Okay, interview is over and it's time to make my choices. A Maj at WHMC who is in charge of perinatal education sat down with me and gave me the rundown on the best locations for OB right now (most...

  3. Alaska anyone??

    The Little Greek replied to The Little Greek's topic in Government, Military

    Yes, Gen, I believe that to be true. No specific date was given, but I was told the WHMC will eventually become clinics. That's going to be one big building of clinics! As for Alaska, I think I'm...

  4. Alaska anyone??

    The Little Greek replied to The Little Greek's topic in Government, Military

    I'm glad to hear that it's a good choice. I've heard the hospital has been recently renovated--maybe it was just the OB unit, can't remember. Nice to know that more money is involved since it seems...

  6. Any Antepartum nurses?

    The Little Greek replied to NikRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

  8. Help!! Joining AF? Need advice asap

    The Little Greek replied to labbott8's topic in Government, Military

    Yep, I'm in Houston--I work at Memorial Hermann in the med center. What a strange coincidence. It came up when we were talking about my interview on Monday. She said I needed to turn in my top 3...

  9. Help!! Joining AF? Need advice asap

    The Little Greek replied to labbott8's topic in Government, Military

    Labott8- Are you by any chance in the Houston area? Just curious because my recruiter and I were talking today and she told me about an OR nurse that asked for Hill, got Mt Home, and would likely...

  10. Some bad news...

    The Little Greek replied to JazzyT's topic in Government, Military

    JazzyT, I too am very sorry to hear about this most disappointing news. I am in the process of preparing my packet for selection right now. My recruiter told me that I am lucky to be applying as an...

  11. loans

    The Little Greek replied to iluvmynavyman's topic in Government, Military

    I know this is an old thread but..... So Gen, did you get both a sign-on and loan repayment? I ask because my recruiter told me today that they may not be doing that anymore. I'm applying to the AF...

  12. Servicemembers civil relief act

    The Little Greek replied to The Little Greek's topic in Government, Military

    It has been my personal experience that things move pretty quickly, but I guess that depends on the recruiter. I started my application process less than one month ago and as of today I have completed...

    The Little Greek posted a topic in Government, Military

    Does anyone know if Servicemembers Civil Relief Act would cover me from having to pay back a moving bonus that was given to me by my employer? I will likely be leaving my current job for the AD prior...

  14. Servicemembers civil relief act

    The Little Greek replied to The Little Greek's topic in Government, Military

    LCDR Dan, Excellent suggestion. It certainly couldn't hurt to mention it to HR. I work for a huge hospital network in Houston so they'll either write off my minute bonus or they'll consult their...

  15. Servicemembers civil relief act

    The Little Greek replied to The Little Greek's topic in Government, Military

    Oh I've got plenty of it thanks to nursing school! I plan on paying it off with my sign-on bonus but it's nice to know I have options. As usual, thanks for the info. I'm off to MEPS tomorrow. Aiming...

  16. Servicemembers civil relief act

    The Little Greek replied to The Little Greek's topic in Government, Military

    Thanks ya'll. I had a feeling that it wouldn't cover it, but I thought it was worth a try. I may follow-up on it later if it becomes an issue, but at this point my objective it to get into the AF and...

  17. sign-on bounus payout

    The Little Greek replied to The Little Greek's topic in Government, Military

    That's a really good question. I'm applying for loan repayment upon entry and I'd love to know the answer too. I'm also wondering, does the gov't just make the monthly payments, or do they simply...

  18. sign-on bounus payout

    The Little Greek posted a topic in Government, Military

    Has anyone recently received one of the big sign-o bonuses? If so, do you mind sharing how much was left after taxes....percentage is fine if you don't want to share a number. I just want to plan for...

    Any info you can find out would be much appreciated. I think he'd be down with any job that offered free beer...in fact I KNOW he

  20. I'm thinking of Joining the Navy as a Nurse... ?

    The Little Greek replied to Wheaties's topic in Government, Military

    He was (or as he would say "IS") a Marine. It's nice to know that his service will earn him some precedence. Although he's not excited about being a stay-at-home dad, I'm sure he'd welcome some extra...

  21. New nursing going USAF

    The Little Greek replied to penasco man's topic in Government, Military

    Here's the list that I received. There is actually more to it than this because it lists all hospitals/clinics and all specialties. I'd be happy to scan it and send it to you as a pdf if you'd like...

  22. New nursing going USAF

    The Little Greek replied to penasco man's topic in Government, Military

    I had read your suggestions re: the USPHS in other threads so I did look into it. There are many positions that were of interest to me, but they didn't seem consistent with my goals right now. As for...

    The Little Greek replied to Wheaties's topic in Government, Military

    The Little Greek replied to penasco man's topic in Government, Military

    Helps quite a bit. At this point I'm still pondering my number 2 and 3 choices; number 1 is Wilford Hall and I'm told it shouldn't really be an issue. More than anything I'm just thinking about future...

    The Little Greek replied to penasco man's topic in Government, Military

    wtbcrna, In addition to hospital assignments, do RNs get assigned to clinics? I've read that most of those positions are contracted to civilians. As an AF RN should I expect to be primarily assigned...
