  1. Acceptance Letter

    DrCOVID replied to RNinSCarolina's topic in Government, Military

    I got my acceptance letter (via email) on Jan 5 and I don't think I ever got one in the mail, nor do I care about seeing a second copy of it. If there is anything that nursing has made me appreciate...

  2. Foot Care

    DrCOVID replied to DrCOVID's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    Yea, I know you meant that part about pink for the ladies that might read this

  3. Foot Care

    DrCOVID posted a topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    Attempting to prevent the destruction that occurs to the body when there is misalignment between aspects of the feet, I have a special set of inserts and shoes to prevent over pronation of the foot...

  4. Foot Care

    DrCOVID replied to DrCOVID's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    I don't think avoiding pink will be a problem

  5. Any older nurses joining up?

    DrCOVID replied to mickey1172's topic in Government, Military

    40 is not old by today's

  6. job before May COT

    DrCOVID replied to mt_nurse's topic in Government, Military

    Lol... I was in this position, and was up front about it. I told my boss I was probably leaving in May for military. She was actually very impressed and happy for me and said that she'd let me work...

  7. USAF COT 10-04

    DrCOVID replied to mt_nurse's topic in Government, Military

    I see no light at the end of the tunnel I am in now and realize the best option at this point is to gamble on the greener grass with the military. I am assuming military deferment? I applied for...

  8. Military NPs

    DrCOVID posted a topic in Government, Military

    Anyone near San Antonio doing their NP? I did a search for schools in the area and will attend one soon if I ever make it to Texas. I am leaning toward ACNP, but don't think I will get in immediately...

  9. Military NPs

    DrCOVID replied to DrCOVID's topic in Government, Military

    Cpooh have you checked the UTSA NP programs? I spoke to a counseler (I think) at their college of nursing and said that they do often waive requirements for entry into any of their NP programs (they...

  10. Air Force Loan Repayment

    DrCOVID replied to mt_nurse's topic in Government, Military

    Yea like the others said basically stay on top of them until they have it right. The person I am emailing told me if anything is wrong to just email her with the right stuff. I filled out an...

  11. Military NPs

    DrCOVID replied to DrCOVID's topic in Government, Military

    I'm not important enough to be asked what program I am probably going to enter, but it is in my original post, lol. I haven't completely decided if I'm joining anyway... You know about the tuition...

  12. Air Force Loan Repayment

    DrCOVID replied to mt_nurse's topic in Government, Military

    Which COT class are you in? My recruiter told me there were no funds available a week or so before I got the

  13. Air Force Loan Repayment

    DrCOVID replied to mt_nurse's topic in Government, Military

    I was contacted by the program manager at Wright-Patt AFB for ADHPLRP by email on 2-4 and was told that I have one of the 91 slots that is eligible for loan repayment (I am May 24 COT if I go). The...

  14. Military NPs

    DrCOVID replied to DrCOVID's topic in Government, Military

    Looks like after June 1st this year I won't have to worry about it, and I won't be out of NTP until after June anyway... Hmm... I really don't want to waste my time and

  15. Military NPs

    DrCOVID replied to DrCOVID's topic in Government, Military

    That's what I thought :/ By compact I am guessing you mean what I have heard of as "reciprocal license agreement." Anyone know who I should contact to find out if a MO license is valid in TX without...

  16. Military NPs

    DrCOVID replied to DrCOVID's topic in Government, Military

    Ok. The reason I am asking is because the woman I spoke with at UTSA's graduate nursing admissions said that I must have a valid Texas license, even though I said I would be active duty Air Force....

  17. Military NPs

    DrCOVID replied to DrCOVID's topic in Government, Military

    Ok, that sounds good. Sorry I don't know if I made myself clear about schooling. Are you certain that if one wants to obtain a degree at UTSA for example they don't need a Texas

  18. Military NPs

    DrCOVID replied to DrCOVID's topic in Government, Military

    Did you look at the site? Their programs are on there. What is the likelihood of me getting into an ER or ICU when I start? Will begging my commander or telling them I want ACNP or CRNA get me...

  19. AF bases that offer NTP

    DrCOVID replied to bds165's topic in Government, Military

    Usually you stay in dorms at COT and I think you will be able to stay on base for NTP as well since it is not the same place as your PDS. Don't know what to do with spouse and kids cause I don't have...

  20. Military NPs

    DrCOVID replied to DrCOVID's topic in Government, Military

    If I choose to join, I will go to Wilford Hall for NTP/PDS. I know that there is a generally agreed upon increased level of skill needed for "acute care" however one defines it, but by the time I...

  21. USAF COT 10-04

    DrCOVID replied to mt_nurse's topic in Government, Military

    The beginning of your posts sound's like I should make it all about the benefits instead of the base pay though I can never get pregnant and don't want children anytime soon. I have many ideas of...

  22. USAF COT 10-04

    DrCOVID replied to mt_nurse's topic in Government, Military

    Sorry, that time calculation was for CRNA, I know you can do the majority for the NP schooling concurrently while AD. I don't care for drama, but if I am the DON, then I decide if there is drama or...

  23. USAF COT 10-04

    DrCOVID replied to mt_nurse's topic in Government, Military

    It's not the wait that has changed my mind... It's the headache caused by all government. Everyday I learn new things that influence my decision. Remember this is my opinion and nothing more: A lot...

  24. USAF COT 10-04

    DrCOVID replied to mt_nurse's topic in Government, Military

    I have officially given up all hope trying to understand what goes on in the Air Force now that I know there is someone holding an August COT spot without having a license yet. I signed nothing with...

  25. Paying for School.

    DrCOVID replied to GCTMT's topic in Government, Military

    Don't think you can commit 20 years up front on a contract. It's usually 36 - 72 months dependent on if you get loan repayment or a bonus. You can get your BSN paid for but it is first come first...
