    Rose3721 replied to sccrn215's topic in Government, Military

    Rose3721 replied to sccrn215's topic in Government, Military

    Rose3721 replied to researchinghusband's topic in Government, Military

    You should get BAH for where your dependents are located, as long as they are under you in DEERS. My husband carries my daughter in DEERS, we're dual military, so I was considered a "single soldier"...

  4. Specializing in the Army

    Rose3721 replied to chul_soo's topic in Government, Military

    Rose3721 replied to hopeful_army_NP's topic in Government, Military

  8. Clueless New Grad RN interested in Miltary Nursing

    Rose3721 replied to falonzo's topic in Government, Military

    For the TNCC question from Lunah, you should be able to be excused from TNCC if you already have it. So you'll get a Saturday and Sunday off. It was taught to us by civilians with no military specific...

    Rose3721 replied to mom2three3's topic in Government, Military

    Just curious, where did you see the information showing a link between shortages in the Army nurse corps and the suicide rate of the Army? I've never seen that material and I would be interested in...

  10. Uniforms

    Rose3721 replied to hopeful_army_NP's topic in Government, Military

    I bought my ASU at the clothing and sales on post in Hawaii, not at Ft Sam. It is much cheaper than Marlow White, think it was $400 for everyhing including all the brass etc. And when you purchase...

    Rose3721 replied to nebnurse's topic in Government, Military

    Rose3721 replied to nebnurse's topic in Government, Military

    Yeah the 6 months of free temporary housing is definitely too good to be true. As previously stated 10 days is allowed. As far as our leadership here you don't have to stay under the radar to survive....

  16. oblc and army residency program: advice please

    Rose3721 replied to nebnurse's topic in Government, Military

    If I remember correctly, you are allotted $100 per day of travel and this is supposed to cover your meals and hotel, which can be quite a stretch, You will file a travel voucher once you get to Ft...

  17. when does the active duty start?

    Rose3721 replied to coco2010's topic in Government, Military

    Your orders will state what day you begin active duty service. New grad RNs are treated well but there are always those nurses who are rude, which is unavoidable and can be seen at every hospital in...

  19. ICU nurse interested in going Army

    Rose3721 replied to Cardiothoracic's topic in Government, Military

    Germany and Hawaii are 2 possible OCONUS assignments. You will probably still come in as a 2nd LT because the Army only gives you time and a half for rank credit so to them you only have 6 months...

    Rose3721 replied to nebnurse's topic in Government, Military

    I'm actually at Ft Hood in the Nurse in Transition program, formerly known as the Army Nurse Residency program. It's been renamed. :) Your info about switching assignments is correct, you can switch...

  21. ICU nurse interested in going Army

    Rose3721 replied to Cardiothoracic's topic in Government, Military

    How long have you worked in the ICU and as an RN in general? This will also play a factor. The Army may assign you constructive credit for your ICU nursing experience. Just keep in mind that the Army...

    Rose3721 replied to hopeful_army_NP's topic in Government, Military

    Rose3721 replied to ri07093's topic in Government, Military

    Rose3721 replied to ksk33's topic in Government, Military

    Just posting what I was told by our Branch Manager at Ft Sam a couple of months ago. Maybe she was overexaggerating on the grades needed to get into the program. Good luck whatever you decide!
