  1. kiddos

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

    LCDR Dan, This is refreshing to hear as I have two children myself, ages 4 and 5. In fact, my choice to join the Air Force was in part because I wanted my children to have experiences I didn't have....

  2. Active Duty Assignment

    The Little Greek replied to Dr.Nurse2b's topic in Government, Military

    This was my case as well. My MSN automatically got me O2 and then my nursing exp, although limited, did get me time toward O3. I would highly suggest that anyone with exp and/or an MSN make sure that...

  3. Random ?s for the Active Duty experts

    The Little Greek posted a topic in Government, Military

    1. I plan on remaining a Texas resident when I move to my first duty station. For tax reasons it makes sense to do so since Texas doesn't have states taxes. I realize that I won't be paying state...

  4. Random ?s for the Active Duty experts

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

    Not really. I'm pretty much a dedicated OB nurse. I know you have to have several years of critical care exp for that program. I find critical care quite interesting, but I'd prefer to have a critical...

  5. Random ?s for the Active Duty experts

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

    Congrats on your commission! I must say that I am extremely jealous that you got Elmendorf! It was my top choice but no such luck. I'm going to scenic Langley after COT. Sounds like you have already...

  6. Air Force Nursing

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

    I was in the same position as you. I am classified as prn but have worked part-time/full-time depending on my childcare availability. No one even asked about my working status when I applied. I was...

  7. Houston doesn't like me!!!

    The Little Greek replied to twilight3's topic in Texas Nursing

    When you call are you talking to the receptionist? If so, ask for a specific recruiter (i.e. Can I speak to the recruiter in charge of med-surg?) When you do, be sure to ask them for a name and direct...

  8. Houston doesn't like me!!!

    The Little Greek replied to twilight3's topic in Texas Nursing

    I got my job at Hermann by being persistent. I called HR, talked to a recruiter, and got an interview right away. I do have experience, but I'm sure if you called and spoke to someone to follow up on...

  9. ACC Nursing Student-Do I need to keep my prereq books?

    The Little Greek replied to taffy48's topic in Texas Nursing

    When I entered nursing school I got rid of all my prereq books. I wasn't sorry either because anything that you need to learn re: A&P, micro, etc is almost always covered in your nursing texts and...

  10. Unemployement office pays you to go to school

    The Little Greek replied to NurseBettyICU's topic in Texas Nursing

    In Austin there was a program called WorkSource that assisted people with school and childcare. There were very strict income guidelines though, so spots were reserved for those who were either...

  11. Army Nurse- Loan Repayment Plan

    The Little Greek replied to jmet1020's topic in Government, Military

    I'm sorry that you are getting frustrated. I got frustrated at times too (and still do a little) but you'll make it through just fine. As for loan interest, I can definitively say that for the AF, the...

  12. Navy Nursing?

    The Little Greek replied to lmacks4's topic in Government, Military

    Hello and welcome! My 2 cents..... The application process can take awhile so I would recommend that you start at the beginning of your last semester if not sooner. I think it took about 4 months to...

  13. Army Nurse- Loan Repayment Plan

    The Little Greek replied to jmet1020's topic in Government, Military

    Good call on the interest. I hadn't even thought about

  14. Buying a house in Houston, Texas

    The Little Greek replied to nurse_in_me's topic in Texas Nursing

    I don't think that 77031 is the zip code for Bellaire. Bellaire is a very nice area (77401 I believe). I'm getting ready to join the Air Force and my recruiter's office is over there. On my way from...

  15. Army Nurse- Loan Repayment Plan

    The Little Greek replied to jmet1020's topic in Government, Military

    The way I understand it is that no money will come out of your pocket. Essentially the Army says "here, we are giving you $80K, but before we do we are going to tax it like income". They then take out...

  16. Dept of Health/Human paying RN loans

    The Little Greek replied to foxyhill21's topic in Texas Nursing

    I agree--the chances of getting it are pretty low. Nonetheless I've applied for three years now just hoping that I'll get it. Just like the lottery, you have to play to win! Unfortunately I've never...

  17. Spousal clearance for passport/overseas assignmt.

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

    I think what EvaLuna's problem is not actually applying, but obtaining the passport. If a person has *any* past-due child support that is reported to the Attorney General in any state, the Department...

  18. Spousal clearance for passport/overseas assignmt.

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

    Hey there, I'm pretty sure that as your first assignment that they will not send you overseas. I wanted to go to Alaska (considered overseas) and was told that I could put it down but doing so would...

  19. Tell me about COT please!

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

    A triathlete I am not! :nuke: I think aiming for perfection is the only thing that keeps me going at this point. I've never run before in my life so the fact that I can actually run 1.5 miles is a...

  20. Tell me about COT please!

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

    Last night I was testing myself for the PT test and I saw that about the waist measurement. That is NUTS! According to my "waist" I won't get full points because I measure 30". What's even funnier...

  21. Tell me about COT please!

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

    Hey, I'm going to COT at the end of the month too! We need to keep in contact. Visit this site: http://www.airforceots.com/portal/index.php There is so much info you won't know what to do with...

  22. LCDR Dan - I'm back

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

    DITTO! Hope the vacation proved relaxing. You'll need one again when she comes home I'm

  23. Random ?s for the Active Duty experts

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

    WTB--you should be paid to frequent this site :nuke: Once again, my sincerest thanks. I'm going to do this immediately. midwestern--thank you as well. I'll have to look into that. I know that there...

  24. Random ?s for the Active Duty experts

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

    abby, Thank you for your honest reply. I thought that my recruiter's statement was a little too good to be true. She sometimes says things that make me wonder "are you listening to yourself?" I agree...

  25. Army Nurse- Loan Repayment Plan

    The Little Greek replied to jmet1020's topic in Government, Military

    I was told that they must be federal loans but on the paperwork there was an area to check "government" or "private" next to the loan listed. They may do that to weed out the private loans that people...
