  2. Foreign trained MD

    BSN317 replied to mlcastaneda's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Hey...I just came in again with the canceling of the orders. I am not sure I am understanding correctly. I did hear about the new health care bill, etc etc but I really didnt think it was going to...

    BSN317 replied to jennysong81's topic in Government, Military

  6. When you go for USPHS - when do you get your physical?

    BSN317 replied to NursePamela's topic in Government, Military

    Definitely EXPENSIVE, and the 250 uniform allowance barely scratches the surface for all the uniforms youll need. BTW, if any one needs BDUs, I have about 3-4 sets BRAND NEW but theyre too big. Theyre...

    BSN317 replied to NursePamela's topic in Government, Military

  10. When you go for USPHS - when do you get your physical?

    BSN317 replied to NursePamela's topic in Government, Military

    BSN317 replied to NursePamela's topic in Government, Military

    @charming46, yes, about 6 months before my tour is done (3 years) they are going to review my file again and then make a decision based on that. If everything is fine, then Im good to go, to serve...

  16. USPHS Pay Rates/Scales

    BSN317 replied to AWanderingMinstral's topic in Government, Military
