Hello LT, Your clinical background sounds strong to me. I am also a June 2011 start applicant and have been on a med/surg floor for two years. Thankfully though my command is supportive and are going to float/precept me in the ICUs for 10 months prio...

Hello, It isn't clear why it is that you want to waive the GRE, (cost, time to schedule, the intimidation factor of a computer generated test that measures vocab and basic math, basic geometry and writing.) To me, the GRE seemed to test just the basi...

Hello, I am posting to this thread because after answering the poll we are requested to post a reply and well...here is my reply. I do not discount the potential for someone to feel like this forum may make them a better nurse, however I am not nor h...

Hello, I truly hope and encourage you to take our advice all with a grain of salt and to seek recommendations from several medical school admissions advisors about what they seem to be currently interested in AND to persist with what you want in the ...

HEllo Law-Deezie, I am also applying for the June 2011 program, (as an AD military.) When I went to the NEU website to apply online the only option to select for start is still listed as June 2010. So, it appears that we are both premature. However ...

Hi, I'm in Texas now as an Army nurse and am from Chicago. I left Chicago in summer of 2007 as a new grad who was hired pre-NCLEX by West Suburban hospital and also by UIC hospitals, (let that one go, it was first as a student intern but, midnights &...

Hello, Have you resubmitted your packet? I've heard of people re-submitting and eventually going through? I would also suggest trying both AF and Navy too, it might seem futile but, I'm a three time submitter. :) Gen p.s. and an Army nurse...on the t...

Hello, You are the first new graduate new nurse, new Army officer that I've heard of that got an overseas assignment right out of school. Congratulations. I commissioned in along two ROTC nurses who did an internship in Germany and from what I heard ...

Hi, I see this is an older post but, no replies yet, so here is one. Bones are the structure and frame for our muscles. They have the origin and insertion site where our muscles attach as an anchor to work as pullies. When the bone is broken then it...

Hi there, That is a great deal. Twenty bucks!! Its time for me to go to slick deals for service members. I miss so much because I am not online at work to check my outlook and don't get all those "today" emails because of not being at work 9-5.' Than...

Hi, This is news to me. AT OBLC, (fall of 2007) my class was comprised of about half who were prior service. We were instructed that all who where new officers to AMEDD needed to go through OBLC together especially seeing as we were all going to be w...

Hi, I am Military and work with plenty of GS and contract civilians who are Military spouses. Have you looked at the jobs.gov site? Have you contacted the local military healthcare facility, (hospital or clinic?) I've worked in two clinics in my pas...

Hello, Hold on, wait, don't forget, the Army will want their time from you first. Before you sign, make sure that your contract states exactly what you want, that is your only opportunity, (aside from re-upping) that I know of where you can negotiat...

Hi, If your are considering choosing the ADN because of the cost and that you will "still become an RN" rather than really want to have a MS degree then you might want to consider very strongly if you should or shouldn't even apply to DePaul. It not...

Hello, There are two routes to volunteering that I know, (and have utilized both, yet, after discussing it with my COC...ah hem, after the fact...was corrected into 'un' volunteering from the second larger system which you can pick a CSH or IMA). Rou...

Hi there to another over 30 year old working out with 19 year old college athletes! they were so good! I was so glad to have had that opportunity myself. :) Gen

oops, edit, not allowed but needed: [paste with edit] OH and remember, if you feel like you cannot do it then just SLOW down. Biggest hurdle I think is that-new to running- folks do not realize-yet- that a mile run is not the same as a 100 meter spr...

Hello, As a former "runner" and current "jogger" I suggest you start by walking/hiking first in order to get your legs, (ligaments, tendons, muscles and bones) ready for the activity. Whenever I go for longer periods of NON running and want to start...

Hello, I am over in Illinios, the land where it takes approximately six weeks to receive your license post successful NCLEX-RN. Based on my tentative Army training date of early August and the fact that I cannot ship without my license in my hand I c...

Hello Cajun, The Army changed my life and I would commission in again in a HEARTBEAT. :) Coming in as a 2LT we naturally will have to pay our dues as having no seniority and no preferences or say in much at all. I'm going through some growing pains ...

Hello Gottgo, Well...then do not give up until you have been denied several times, (they denied me more than twice due to oversight and error and paper mistakes on the part of others beyond my control). Had I taken the first or second denial then I ...

Hello Destination1, Nice to read you. I am posting to neutralize any possible scare factor seeing as most all of the prior enlisted-now RN officers that I have met think that the PT for newly commissioned nurses, (up to CPT) is really nothing AT all ...

This wouldn't prevent you from trying to go in as a GS employee, (http://www.usajobs.gov) Dont' give up until you are denied several times over, right? Gen

Hi, I'd heard recently that even for reservists the training would merge, (may not have happened yet) with the AD. When I went through last fall it was more than 7 weeks total. When it came time for my own health professions loan repayment time, the ...
