SweettartRN can you PM me with more information about Kaplan. I tried contacted you but it's states your PMs are full

Don't worry I won't be passing mine either. I'm enroute from Indianapolis currently. The fear and excitement is starting hit me! Safe travels everyone

So we have to report on the 23-march but what time? I'm confused?!?!

Got my orders last night in the mail. Felt relieved to know I have them but reality is starting to sink in. Report date in 15 days...yikes!

So yesterday i received an email from an AMEDD recruiter in my area that my actually recruiter has been using as a liason because i am currently on a travel assignment. The email had a file attached to it from the HRC entitled assignment instructions...

a) yes your enlisted time gets counted towards retirement and if greater than 4yrs it will put you at an O-1e when you commission...puts a lil extra jingle in your pockets than just straight O-1 b) There is a website that states everything you would ...

Is anyone else getting frustrated by the lack of orders 3wks out?

BTW....it say 2010 but it was posted like Dec2010/Jan2011 i believe

I found this on the Army HRC website: NEW: SORT Team Opportunity: Please contact MAJ Richardson for application process. Located at Fort Bragg Applications must be received NLT 15 JAN 2010 COB Must have Chief Nurse endorsement Must be physically eli...

I will jump on that offer too. My motivation is low when I'm flying solo.

AshleyOT...thanks i will try that. Lunah...im envious! I will turn 27 while there which will put me in a different bracket...you think they will round up my age;-)

Does anyone even have orders yet?....im still waiting. And i have been bugging the snot out of my recruiter so i think he is ignoring me. PT question random thought...so i tested myself and i pass all areas except for the situps. I need to do minimu...

Don't totally write off nursing. You may have to move somewhere else that has a lower surplus of new grad nurses. Be very persistent. You may need to revise your resume. You may even have to take jobs that dont appeal to you like long term care, nigh...

lunah...did that include your blues too?

sooo....my blankie and teddy bear are cool though right? So anyone else out there who wears contact lenses and how are they going to deal with field training? I hear we cant wear them to the field. I am a constant contact wearer and dont know how i ...

Im sorry experienced 66H are limited to these areas

I actually never asked for a prime place. All my request were MEDDACS. I have been in contact MAJ Villacorta. Apparently experienced nurses are being limited to ft Irwin, ft sill, ft Leonard wood, Korea, and Alaska. If you choose Alaska it's consider...

So it looks like i will be going to ft irwin...im going to save the tears for later:-(

Possibly...but it is only a 1 year assignment. My contract is for 3 years. I am hoping this fact negates that rule. To my understanding the reason behind this is because it is not cost effective to have a nurse in an OCONUS assignment come back state...

I really wouldnt mind living in Alaska i hear it is very pretty there during the summer you just have to muscle through the winters. But Alaska isnt a viable option for me because it would mean i forfeit my gauranteed course selection...something i R...

Email message from Major Villacorta today... Presently, the locations available for Medsurg nurses with experience are the following: - Fort Leonardwood, MO (2 year assignment) - Fort Fort Sill, OK. (2 year assignment) - Fort Irwin, CA (2 year assign...

Did you get orders! If so do you mind telling your duty station?

i think there is a couple of folks who want ft carson...its a smaller facility though and its a MEDDAC. The mountains and colorado springs are very pretty though and all the horseback riding, white water rafting and hiking a person can handle 8-D

Has anyone heard/received orders yet? I need to sign another contract to stay at my current travel assignment. The contract would take me through March into April and I am concerned of the legal ramifications if I get orders for BOLC in march. Commen...

I have been calling my recruiter for 2 weeks now with no answer. The recruiter that assisted me signing my contract 2 states over, because I am on a travel assignment, has talked to me more than he has. I am getting a little antsy. I need to keep wor...
