  1. Which branch was right for you?

    Jams95 replied to NYnur2010's topic in Government, Military

    Wow, what a sentiment. You said exactly what I have been thinking and feeling for the past 6-7 years. That's why I am leaving the private sector and going to work at the VA, where I am hoping that...

  2. I got my "Dear First Lieutenant" congrat letter today

    Jams95 replied to pattyrn376's topic in Government, Military

    Question??? Does your time in service count from your commission date, the date your orders are sent or the 1st time you drill??? Seems like it takes a long while to get thru each step and for career...

    Hey Athena, Tried the link, but the "page could not be found". Do you know if you have to be a member of facebook to "see" the

  4. Question regarding schooling for the Navy Nursing Candidate program

    Jams95 replied to blt3535's topic in Government, Military

    Nope, a ADN + BS in another field does not equal a BSN. And for the Navy (Reserve or Active) you need a BSN. This may be too late to suggest, but did you look at an accelerated BSN program (since...

  5. USPHS

    Jams95 replied to jennysong81's topic in Government, Military

    Since you are in a BSN program have you visited the College of Public Health at your University? My University COPH hosted the USPHS for a meet and greet. My husband asked that I look into all areas...

    Jams95 replied to Jams95's topic in Government, Military

    Wow! Ok that's great to know. Thank you. I'm 39, but was reading up on the retirement percentages based on years of service and started to wonder. Will be signing up for the Navy this year, hoping...

  8. Roll Call for all Military and VA Nurses and those considering the Service

    Jams95 replied to RNPATL's topic in Government, Military

    I'm not in the Navy, yet. But I have been doing alot of research and reading MANY of the threads on this web page, which I highly recommend. I think for the age of 42 you may need a waiver. But, to...

    I have seen posts about an individual electing to goto their own MD. Is there a military form that the MD needs to fill out, or is the typical H&P

  11. why is the VA taking so long to hire you?

    Jams95 replied to sushi4breakfast's topic in Government, Military

    I believe that you either must be a citizen or naturalized. Part of the paperwork was filling out of form that asks about citizenship or proof of natrualization. But call a VA recruiter to make...

  12. why is the VA taking so long to hire you?

    Jams95 replied to sushi4breakfast's topic in Government, Military

    No way, go in person. Were you offered a job by the interviewing Director? If so, call that Director or go down in person to see the Director........... Be persistent. If you didn't get that job,...

  13. why is the VA taking so long to hire you?

    Jams95 replied to sushi4breakfast's topic in Government, Military

    Rocknroll I dont' know how old you are or if you'll care about my two cents, but don't give up on the VA. The long term benefits are worth it. Take it from an RN of 15 years at the same hospital and...

    Jams95 replied to BURNRNMOM's topic in Government, Military

    The College you graduate from does not need to be accreditated by the Military, its needs to accreditated by NLN or CCNE(the latest and greatest version), and then the military will recognize it. For...

  16. Managers reaction to reserve duty

    Jams95 replied to Duncan83's topic in Government, Military

    Well I'll tell you, during my interview for the VA I told the manager that I was going to enter the Naval Reserves. I was unsure as to how this would be received and then decided that I should just...

  18. Please Help Me Decide!!!! AirForce Nurse or Navy Nurse

    Jams95 replied to anewchapter's topic in Government, Military

  21. Height and Weight Requirements

    Jams95 posted a topic in Government, Military

    How closely does the Army and/or Navy follow the height and weight requirements for the Nurse Corps? I have seen varied levels of fitness for nurses in the military, and was just wondring if they...

  22. MEPS and Physical

    Jams95 replied to Jams95's topic in Government, Military

    In some respects sounds like you got off on the easy side (except for the anemia that is :chuckle). Didn't go thru MEPS? What other options or course is there?? I just like to know as much as I can...
