Well, I did take a little bit of a pay cut, but I am still so excited about the move! I think the cost of living is low, so it will all even out. What part of the country are you coming from?

I will send you a PM tomorrow. Just got off work and I am exhausted. But I can tell you one thing...go for it! I can't wait to get back to Abilene, and to spend the rest of my career at Hendrick Medical Center. :redpinkhe

Can anyone give some information on Hendrick Medical Center in Abilene, Texas. I am considering relocating to the area, and could use some helpful tips. It appears that this is a nice place to work, but most hospital websites will only share their ...

OK...What is so bad about this hospital? Is it the attitudes of the other nurses? Is it the nurse to patient ratio? Is it the fact that Tenet has such a bad reputation? I have an interview there and have considered relocating, and I need to know ...

The Board was unable to make their decision based on my GPA for the RN to BSN program because final grades are not posted until December. There were a ton of applicants, so I am sure they had to keep the rules very stringent with who they would sele...

Thanks, Emv I didn't realize it was that tight. Wow! Who would have ever guessed? I am starting to feel better already. I will just continue to live my life and be the best mom, wife and nurse that I possibly can.

My recruiter stated that there were more applicants than slots for active duty, but that the results for those have not been released yet. Reserve Duty slots have not been filled yet, but ANCP and active are filled for fiscal year 11. Maybe next ye...

Not Selected....GPA wasn't high enough from when I completed my ADN in 1997. GPA from this semester of the RN to BSN do not get posted until Decmeber, so they couldn't look at that. There were more applicants than slots and even with all of my year...

What an awesome weekend! After being able to complete two term papers, and still have time to breathe before I get ready for work tonight, I know now that anything is possible. Hopefully we will all get the news we have been waiting for this week! ...

Well, my packet was boarded. Can anyone tell me if that is a good thing. There was an article that came out yesterday in a travel nurse magazine about recruiting nurses in the Army. The chief nurse of the US Army made the comment that "We need cri...

As hopeful as I am, I am trying to preparing myself for a possible, "No." Of course I will be crushed...this is something that I have wanted to do since I was eight years old. I don't know if any of you remember the Cherry Ames Army Nurse book ser...

What does it mean when you say your packet has been boarded? What are the final results? I am assuming that "final results" means the final selections. I am trying to prepare myself for the possibility of a ,"NO," but it's really difficult. I am ...

Elumine, I am an ADN with fourteen years of experience. I am in an RN to BSN program. That's why I have applied for ANCP.

I applied for ANCP for fiscal year 11. Is anyone else waiting to hear if they have been selected for ANCP, or is most everyone hoping to go directly into OBC? The only info that my recruiter gave me, was that there are only a certain amount of scho...

I also have not heard anything from my recruiter. I have learned from past experience though, that if you don't hear anything, that is usually a good thing. Think about it. How often do you all get positive feed back from your nurse managers? I th...

Thank you. I spoke with my recruiter today. He told me that this is a four day board. If we don't hear anything by Thanksgiving, then it won't be too much longer after that. I feel a certain peace about the whole thing, though. I know that I will ...

My prayers are with you all :heartbeat I do have a question, though. How can the Accession Board look at every packet from every applicant in the country in one day? Is there a board that meets in each state? Do they do their selecting in one day ...

Please, if anyone can tell me, is November 16, 2010 really the "magic" day? Does the Accession Board make their selections all within the day or that week? Have any of your recruiters given you an estimated time frame when you will know a decision? ...

I supposed that I too need to stop worrying and take one day at a time. If I don't get selected, then there was probably a reason, and my life is supposed to go in a different direction than what I had planned. Happy Thanksgiving to you also, and t...

Have any of your recruiters given you an estimated number of applicants that are in your area? Would anyone know the amount of slots that are going to be filled? I have tried to do some research on my own, to get some kind of reassurance, but I kee...

Just a question. Would there be any reason why the board would not select us? Is really that tight as far as openings for ANCP or ANC? We are in the middle of a war, and we obviously ache to serve. Don't you think that a lot more nurses want to a...

Please tell me that I am not the only one with their stomach doing somersaults now that my packet has been submitted! I bring fifteen years of nursing experience, four of which have been in a very busy ED. I have all of the certifications that are r...

There is a board that meets on September 7th to discuss the current year. The board meets in November to discuss fiscall year 2011. Hope this helps.

It has been my experience that when you are dealing with the government, you will have a lot of the run around and confusion. There is a lot of red tape and a lot of "hurry up and wait."
