I've spent a lot of time trying to locate books specifically regarding military nursing careers, deployments, history, etc. I just thought it might be a nice time saver to have a thread specifically dedicated to this topic that folks can update with ...

I don't know anything about Peachford, but GA Regional was needing nurses when I did my clinical rotation there a while back. They really encouraged all students to apply if interested in psych nursing and I think you would get a very well-rounded ex...

Yes, I just spoke to someone that was just hired at CHOA with an ADN (new grad). If any of your nursing school instructors work there, maybe they can put in a good word? The nurse that was just hired did have an inside networking connection, so knowi...

I started applying 1-2 months before I had my license as I recall.. but I didn't get even one call until a few weeks after my license was posted. In hindsight I wish I would have waited because I was stressing out thinking no one was interested when ...

I used this article when preparing for interviews: https://allnurses.com/nursing-interview-help/how-answer-most-748905.html That said, I haven't been asked that many questions in my job search so far. I think the big ones were "Tell me about yourse...

I totally agree with RockabillyMommy. GPC has a GREAT nursing program! I have been trying to catch up in this thread, but as a recent graduate, I can say with complete confidence that not only is it do-able, but it is an excellent school and I am ver...
If everything is showing complete on your application except your ATT, then you might need to contact them if it has been a few weeks with no update. That happened to me and I realized that only mine was delayed when other students from my class had ...

This was sent to me via e-mail for Independence Day. I don't know who wrote it, but wanted to share it in this thread: I watched the flag pass by one day, It fluttered in the breeze. A young soldier saluted it, And then he stood at ease. I looked at ...
I talked to an enrollment counselor several times this week and she assured me that although the costs are changing as they transition into the semester program that they should overall balance out to the same or very close to what they were before. ...
Thank you both so much! Your experiences make me feel a lot less concerned about the whole process. I was going to apply to UTA as well, but I have read and spoken with people that all said they are very reluctant (or won't do it altogether) to accep...
Thanks so much for your feedback Mtsteelhorse! I will stick around this forum for sure and hopefully the DARS will come quicker. My only big concern is that they might not accept my credits for whatever reason and I wouldn't know it until I already s...
Thanks so much! I applied to OU a couple of days ago, so fingers crossed that it all goes smoothly! I also read something like 35 pages of the main thread, so I am trying to catch up. :) I really appreciate the info- I'd be lost without this informat...
Sorry you are having to deal with this Chuckster. I do not have any advice except that maybe you can find an academic outreach class that will work if there is one you haven't already taken? I wish I could offer more, but I actually just applied to ...
JustADream replied to AirForceNursingCorps's topic in Government
Hi Heirn13, I was just told by my recruiter this month that they are looking for NICU nurses now. I am not sure about career advancement for that specialty as I am not in NICU myself, but I understand that the Corps offers exceptional advanced train...

Thanks so much and congrats on your commission!!!!! Also, you hit the nail on the head with your communication description.. at, not with. I did talk to someone yesterday with the Navy again yesterday afternoon and it was a little bit better, but not...
JustADream replied to JustADream's topic in Government
Sorry, me again. I just wanted to ask if there is a go-around to someone else if the local health profession recruiter isn't working out? Air Force has been great.. unfortunately I haven't had the same experience with the Navy so far. Three or four d...
Welcome to ATL! I can't really recommend anywhere in the city to live because I am out away from it, but I do know that it isn't a great area around Clarkston. The campus is fine, but Clarkston itself has a lot of crime and drama. I took some requir...
