    Probably swearing in tomorrow ... but are there any National Guard nurses on here?

    Enthused RN posted a topic in Government, Military

    I go to MEPS tomorrow for my physical/security interview and if it all checks out (which it should), I am expecting to swear in. I understand I will be an E-4 with a MOS of 09S (officer candidate). I...

    Enthused RN replied to Enthused RN's topic in Government, Military

    So I didn't swear in yesterday because I need to clear something up with my credit history. Hopefully that gets resolved soon but I would like to hear from any Guard nurses on their experiences. Thank...

    Potential Military Nurse

    Enthused RN replied to KV12's topic in Government, Military

    I can answer #9 for you since I passed my medical yesterday. Poor vision is fine. I wear glasses and have 20/400 vision without them; they were ok with that. No waiver was needed for me. You will...

    The inactivated Flu shot only prevents the flu in just 1.5% of the population

    Enthused RN replied to Garethaus's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Going along with your 1.5% math .... 1.5% of 300 million people is 4.5 million sick people. I think that's a pretty significant number. In any case, I agree with the approximate 55% increase in...

    CNN article on nurses and job growth

    Enthused RN replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    James, you bring up a great point but just recently the Army Nurse corp just changed their requirements so they don't accept new grads either. In addition to a BSN and license, they want you to have 6...

    Everyone goes through it. You won't be alone; just talk to your classmates when you start and you will see how everyone makes sacrifices. It will help you a little bit, I promise. Congrats and good...

    New Grad Nurses struggling to find jobs - CNN Reporter wants to hear from you

    I'll take a stab at this one ... all over the media for years they have been advertising how there is a nursing shortage. They encourage people to go into nursing because you can supposedly makes lots...

    Nursing uniforms for military nurses

    Enthused RN posted a topic in Government, Military

    I have a somewhat dumb, logistical question - if you are a military nurse (any branch really) and you are working, say, in med/surg, do you wear scrubs or do you wear the fatigues? I imagine the OR...

    Reserve RN

    Enthused RN replied to StillsmilingRN's topic in Government, Military

    I don't think the age will be a barrier. The USAF website says they take people between 18-48 (Joining the Air Force: Commissioned Officer Overview - airforce.com) depending on the field so you have...

    Reserve RN

    Enthused RN replied to StillsmilingRN's topic in Government, Military

    I should have added - it might be worth it to still talk to a recruiter. There are programs for students that you repay any money/benefits received through a certain number of years of active duty...

    Reserve RN

    Enthused RN replied to StillsmilingRN's topic in Government, Military

    Per my research on the Army, Navy, and USAF websites, the Nurse Corps will only take BSNs. BSN is required for both Active Duty and Reserve nurse officers. A few years ago the Army Reserve used to...
