  4. Active duty navy fy 2016

    jeckrn replied to abautista88's topic in Government, Military

    You will need to speak with a healthcare recruiter about your questions since they have the latest information. If your end goal is to go active it might be best to wait and then apply for active vs....

  6. Military ***

    jeckrn replied to jessmarih27's topic in Government, Military

    Trying to figure out what you mean. Sounds like you are not a nurse now and do not want to go to college. If this is true you can not be a RN in the military. If you could enlist in the Army and...

  7. VA and Epic EMR

    jeckrn replied to OUxPhys's topic in Government, Military

    Viata II is one of the best I have worked with. Can not say that about Vista which is 1970's programing based on MUMPs which is close to

  8. Question about DQ conditions

    jeckrn replied to TnRN43's topic in Government, Military

    Even if the max age is 48 and you are 46 it will be a big strick against you. Because the nature of the military in general, not just nursing a mid 20 year old vs a mid 40 year old is a better fit....

  9. LPN to RN help!!!!

    jeckrn replied to latyLPN's topic in Government, Military

    I can not speak for the DOD but when I worked at the VA no LPN's had to quit and reapply as a RN. The only thing they had to do was wait for a RN position to open up. I can not see why it would be...

  10. Air Force Nurse/Age/Demand

    jeckrn replied to roscoenurse's topic in Government, Military

    Your enlisted time will count towards retirement. Not all specialty badges from different services can be worn. You will have to review the uniform

  11. Air Force Nurse/Age/Demand

    jeckrn replied to roscoenurse's topic in Government, Military

    The E pay is based on points so you will need 1461 points. The points do not have to come from only active duty. When I was commissioned my points came from my active duty time and reserve time. My...

  12. Air Force Nurse/Age/Demand

    jeckrn replied to roscoenurse's topic in Government, Military

    The recruiter is right, once you are reserves the process is harder to go active. Why, who knows with the military's common sense or lack

  13. Air Force Nurse/Age/Demand

    jeckrn replied to roscoenurse's topic in Government, Military

    The EGSR is a good resource to call if your employer is giving you a hard time. When they explain it to them that they can lose the right to care patients or have payments suspended whos care is paid...

  14. Army Captain promotion rates

    jeckrn posted a topic in Government, Military

    Not to discourage anyone from trying to join the military but just to show how competitive it is right now. The Captain promotion list for the Army Nurse Corp came out today and the overall rate was...

  15. US Air Forece NTP Residency - Pay? / Base location?

    jeckrn replied to TheGoodRN2015's topic in Government, Military

    Yes your base pay is taxed. Federal tax is a given but you might not have to pay state tax depending on what state you live in and where you are stationed. Some states like NY only have you pay state...

  16. Please explain steps/promotion question too

    jeckrn replied to kerbear1969's topic in Government, Military

    What this means is that they are setting your pay grade based on your ADN and experience. Once you have your BSN you should be a nurse II and the step will be the one closest to your salary without...

  17. A few questions about military nursing

    jeckrn replied to Aluben's topic in Government, Military

    You need to speak with a health care recruiter to find out more specific information. By the time you complete your BSN the recruitment picture it will be different then today, could be better or...

  18. Civilian RN job in Army ED vs. Civilian ED

    jeckrn replied to kayburton24's topic in Government, Military

    If your civilian offer is at a level III it's still a small ED without a lot of trauma. The ED you work at now sounds like a level III or a low level

  19. Loan Repayment

    jeckrn replied to OUxPhys's topic in Government, Military

    You will,need to check with your local VA since each one offers different loan repayments based on their needs and

  20. Air Force Nurse/Age/Demand

    jeckrn replied to roscoenurse's topic in Government, Military

    Since you have 4 years of prior service this would make your cut off age as 52 since it can be added to the age limit. With that being said and how competitive it is right now your age could be a...

  21. Wife & Mother Military Nurse?

    jeckrn replied to jlibers's topic in Government, Military

  23. VA Nurse Salary

    jeckrn replied to kclindsay's topic in Government, Military

    Not sure what you mean by 8 hour shifts would give you more PTO then those working 12 hour shifts. If your hours add up to the same you will still be getting the same amount off. All VA nurse's who...

  24. Is it possible to become a RN but work part time from the start. Get Air Force commission?

    jeckrn replied to Chadmasters's topic in Government, Military

    From what I understand what you are asking is, can you joined the AF with your ADN and work part time for them while you complete your BSN. If that is what you are asking the answer is no. If you go...
