    FarawaySoClose replied to hiddencatRN's topic in Government, Military

    FarawaySoClose replied to Thipp02's topic in Government, Military

    Thanks for the info, UFGrad, which PCSs did you put on your wish list? Good luck, Thipp, fingers crossed. I wonder if packets for NCP and packets for direct commission get reviewed by the same

    FarawaySoClose replied to Delta04RN09's topic in Government, Military

    If they offer me a commision I will be commissioned as a new grad with a sign-on bonus instead of the NCP benefits. I'm in contact with a couple of recruiters and a nice man who helps me through the...

    FarawaySoClose replied to Delta04RN09's topic in Government, Military

    I'm Kelsy; it'd be nice to go in knowing a couple of people already. If you don't mind my asking, what has you worked up about the swimming part? I'm kind of nervous about how cold it's going to be...

  11. Should the H1N1 Vaccine be mandatory for Healthcare Professionals?

    FarawaySoClose replied to Brian's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Tell me about it; a while back I was at a grocery store right down the street from a hospital. I turned the corner of an aisle and the person coming around the other side sneezed right in my face;...

    FarawaySoClose replied to Thipp02's topic in Government, Military

    I'm in the same boat as you; I sent in my packet mid-September and just heard back that I was missing a medical test result. Now I'm waiting to get that from the lab to send in and I still have no...

  13. Navy Nursing?

    FarawaySoClose replied to aglages's topic in Government, Military

    I also spoke with an Air Force recruiter prior to choosing the Navy (I never considered the Army though, it just never appealed to me like the other 2 branches); he gave me some good information but...

  14. Navy Nursing?

    FarawaySoClose replied to aglages's topic in Government, Military

    There are definitely less posts about Navy nursing compared to the other branches on here but if you run a search for "Navy Nurse Corps" you will find some good (and bad) information about Navy...

    FarawaySoClose replied to Quiskeya's topic in Government, Military

  17. Navy Nurse Corps vs AF Nurse Corps

    FarawaySoClose replied to Truth14's topic in Government, Military

    Enter "Air Force Navy" in a search on this site and you'll find several posts on this question that may help clarify some of your questions. Also I suggest you talk to recruiters from both branches...

  18. Air Force Nursing Bonus, Student Loan Repayment

    FarawaySoClose replied to missmiss's topic in Government, Military

    I would assume you could find a new recruiter especially if you haven't already signed anything; if not in your town maybe in a near-by town. Sure, your current recruiter may not be too happy, he has...

  19. Air Force Nursing Bonus, Student Loan Repayment

    FarawaySoClose replied to missmiss's topic in Government, Military

    I was originally applying to the Air Force a few months ago before I decided to go with the Navy; I can tell you that it felt like my Air Force recruiter was kind of pushing for an absolute...

  20. Any psych nurses out there working with our TROOPS

    FarawaySoClose replied to Itshamrtym's topic in Psychiatric

    I'm applying to the Navy Nurse Corps currently and have every intention to work as a psych nurse within the Navy. The military branches are a great route if you're looking to work with current...

  21. Recruiters

    FarawaySoClose replied to SanDgroovy's topic in Government, Military

    I'm in AZ so I don't know of any contacts you can try. Loan repayment is a no go with the Navy too until next fiscal year but if your applying now there's a good chance your application will go in...

  22. Recruiters

    FarawaySoClose replied to SanDgroovy's topic in Government, Military

    I'm currently applying to the Navy Nurse Corps and I can tell you it took about a month to finally get a hold of the HCR I'm working with. I found that leaving a phone message doesn't do you a lick...
