  1. Hi, I am quick replying to myself to share here an email I just sent to my recruiter. Sigh, yesterday he insisted that they could not change my bonus to drop it but told me that I "had" to increase it...

    Joint Commission?

    Two hospitals that I worked at required this. One was where it was "re-instated" called them walking rounds or walking report of shift or something. I think they did claim it was Joint commission but,...

    would you be a RN for $11.00/hr?

    I would rather be a "volunteer" for no pay than to be offered that. Last year as an CNA I earned $14.00 an hour. The entry level degree has no license, no malpractice and deferrs all responsibility...
  5. Pasting my own post Hello, I have another question regarding this "Active Duty on Reserve commission" that I have. I am four months away from my MS entry to nursing graduation and due to the timeline...

    army nurse training

    Hi, I found most of my information on ROTC Army nurse sites and the Army Nurse Branch orientation sites. http://www.rotc.usaac.army.mil/Scholarship_HPD2/Nurse%20Program/nurse%20staff%20dir%20page.htm...
  8. Hi, Yeah, it is an "eventful" application process for sure! If I were not beyond the maximum age requirements for the Navy I would apply and would have applied. My father was a Marine and my first ex...
  9. I am trying. Thankfully someone at the AMEDD recruitment website is requesting to look into it. Sigh, I was really hoping to be set to go yet, if he would have been honest then I would have changed my...

    how long is too long??

    Hi, My guess is that if they misplaced your application then it didn't go before the last board and will probably go before the "next" board. Fwiw, my Army package took three boards to pass, I think...
  11. The employee who makes others suspect a personality disorder! Yikes, not fun to be around and "no one" can be happy around them. Almost like living in a stuck record of a psych rotation inpatient....

    Run out of nursing school - what to do?

    Hi, Oh, I would bet that direct entry programs are indeed just as tough as associate ones. We lost three men in the last two quarters of my program. Our program concludes this june. So, yeah, the...
  13. Thanks JaxiaKiley and Caliotter, Its just that my recruiter, new to AMEDD, is really clueless I think. I am not sure why he has done things or had me do things and I suspect it is why my application...

    OB Spanish

    A word of caution. I have come across some pages of "translated into Spanish" information from babel fish and it has been absurdly off mark. I highly recommend to avoid it due to the lack of...

    Join the Military?

    Hello, I am a fellow direct entry student myself, nice to read you and I empathize with the particulars of financing. I am attending a private institution and if I would've been accepted to a state...
  18. Hi, I also have alternative loans from my last year undergraduate as well as an alternative/private loan for each of my MS years. The contracts for them was pretty explicit that payments start upon...
  19. Ha, ha Caliotter, It was an attempt but, the Navy has already said they are not interested. :)
  20. Hello, Yes, I will definately pursue work and just in one day have two hospitals in mind to apply for. Although I did try to go the Navy route, (my father was a Marine) and the Navy has different...
  21. Thank you very much for the reply Caliotter3, I have indeed sent and email to my recruiter and I am pretty sure that he will try to work with me on this. I requested my OBLC date, (which he told me...

  23. Hi, edit to say: thank you TraumaRUs for reading and asking. License must be in hand. I registered today to add the FNP program class to my spring schedule. If the Army allows me to extend my OBLC...

    again, You would probably find better responses if this were posted in the "current events" forum. This is were your information of concern properly belongs, not in military nursing, (while it is...
