Hello, I have found that a good place to ask military and basic training type questions is Military.com. There's a specific forum for basic military training http://forums.military.com/1/OpenTopic?a=cfrm&s=78919038&f=65919558. I hope you fi...

Hi! I am wondering if there's anyone here who will be starting the BSN program at UTMB in Fall 2004. If so, perhaps we can correspond before we get there. Thanks, Tara

Hello, I would like to know the opinions of those who have been employed in nursing both in the Air Force and as a civilian. Which did you prefer and why? Please feel free to emphasize things such as the attitudes of those with whom you have worke...

Hi! Has anyone applied to the BSN program at Texas Tech in the last year or two? I am hoping to get some information about this program and what type of experience others have had with them. You may either respond here or just send me a PM. Thanks! ...

I'm in the same sort of relationship and I have not had any problems whatsoever. I haven't noticed anyone looking or otherwise...Should be fine for you here. By the way, I'm in Austin. Good luck with your move!

thanks debbie, i'll be dropping her a line shortly!

I lived in San Antonio a couple years ago. I can't vouch for kirby, but there are many nice locations if you look into the North Central area and even the North East. If you want to know about any specific areas in those locations, feel free to PM ...

If you want to get a head start at finding out what type of civilian jobs are open overseas, or Germany in your case, the Army Civilian Personnel webpage is a good place to start. There are also details there on how to apply for those jobs and eligi...

Thanks for the information Calfax. That's the sort of comparison I was hoping for.

Thanks for your concern. I am completely serious about the idea and that's exactly why I contacted a recruiter already...so that I'm completely informed by the time I'm nearing graduation. It does not hurt anyone to get information ahead of time an...

We use the Marieb A&P text and lab manual here at the college I'm attending in Texas...small world I guess :) .

I purchased the NET study guide directly from this site: http://secure.mycart.net/catalogs/catalog.asp?prodid=257819 Good luck!

Hi, In response to your post, the best thing may be to sit down with a financial aid advisor at your school to see what other options are there. They should also be able to point you in the direction of some scholarships and how to apply. There are...

I found the NCLEX pass rates for all of the programs in Texas on the Board of Nurse Examiners webpage. Perhaps it's the same in other sites. Example Site from Texas: ftp://www.bne.state.tx.us/nclex10.pdf Update: Just found the one for Oklahoma also:...

If nursing school is something that you really want to do now and have the opportunity, go for it. Don't feel like the only time you have to bond with your baby is when it is an infant. I was a single mom when I gave birth to my son and only had si...

Congrats and welcome to the class!

I've spoken with an AF recruiter and they do not offer a program like then Navy's NCP. They only offer a couple different sign on bonus' or the option to have student loans paid up to a certain amount.

I searched the site of the school that I've been accepted into and they have something called Institutional Analysis which gives all sorts of enrollment statistics. For Fall 2003 180 were accepted/enrolled. Based on information from a open house I ...

Omegaqueen112, I will definately try to contact some current AF nurses between now and the time I decide. I did know two AF nurses, but that was about 3-4 years ago and we've all since gone our own way. I'll stay in touch and let you know how it go...

I applied there for Fall 2004, but they said they will send out letters at the beginning of April. If you don't find out anything before then, I'll try to let you know what I find out in April.

Thanks for your post Omegaqueen112. I have looked into the Navy as well as the Air force. I've talked to an Air Force recruiter already about nursing and their entrance requirements. I liked the Navy's NCP, but I'm more partial to the AF in genera...

Yes, definately hang in there, that's only the response from one school. I also applied to about 4 different schools just in case one or some didn't work out. Just think that your chances of getting in are better since you applied to more than one ...

I'm also at ACC right now finishing prereqs so that I can transfer to a BSN program in the fall. I considered ACC's nursing program at one time, but once I saw all of the criteria needed just to apply, I was like "forget that". I figured with the t...
