  1. USAF COT 10-04

    midinphx replied to mt_nurse's topic in Government, Military

    RElax SpookyCat. You're in! You have your confirmation. Just graduate and pass your NCLEX! I think they have everyone wait until the month before departure date to get the actual hand raise...

  2. Prior nursing exp applies to higher rank?

    midinphx replied to ksk33's topic in Government, Military

    Nope... I NEED to get in!

  3. MEPS

    midinphx replied to aniko743's topic in Government, Military

    Don't give up Hnella. It is a long and frustrating process. But the result is worth it. So we endure a few months of frustration. I have tried to just put it out of my head (difficult) and march...

  4. Prior nursing exp applies to higher rank?

    midinphx replied to ksk33's topic in Government, Military

    During my interview, the colonel discussed promotions (like I cared... I just want in! lol). But he said I can make major in less than 2 years. Just need 3 things: a specialty cert, master's degree,...

  5. Prior nursing exp applies to higher rank?

    midinphx replied to ksk33's topic in Government, Military

    I don't think your 2 years will get you a higher rank initially, but you will make rank that much faster. I think they count years of nursing as half. I've been a nurse for 14 years, so that makes 7...

  6. Navy hopefuls waiting for ODS date/Station

    midinphx replied to FarawaySoClose's topic in Government, Military

    I was a 55B, ammunition specialist. AKA: beebee stacker or ammo humper. Some nice recruiter tried to tell me that that wasn't a job for a girl, so I said yes! I would love to find that guy and...

  8. A day in the life. Military Nursing

    midinphx replied to midinphx's topic in Government, Military

    AFN! lol. I remember my first day in Germany. Everyone was crowded into our crumby day room around an old tv avidly watching a military newscaster. I thought something really bad must have...

  9. Navy hopefuls waiting for ODS date/Station

    midinphx replied to FarawaySoClose's topic in Government, Military

    I'm prior service Army. I did my 3 years, and used my college fund... BSN. I did what I had set out to do. I had signed up just for that. But I've wanted to go back for years. I spent alot of...

  10. In AF nursing, no differential pay in hospital, right?

    midinphx replied to ksk33's topic in Government, Military

    The pay is across all service branches. It has nothing to do with time in service, only rank. Go to military.com under benefits. You can even see the BHA based on location on that site. It makes...

  11. Navy hopefuls waiting for ODS date/Station

    midinphx replied to FarawaySoClose's topic in Government, Military

    Yep, that's my recruiter. Why'd you choose Navy over

  12. Graduated cot on friday!!!

    midinphx replied to carolinapooh's topic in Government, Military

    I'm in Phoenix. If you are coming to NTP in Scottsdale in the summer, be aware it is HOT. lol. After 20 years I'm used to it. There is a ton of great stuff to do in Scottsdale. And if you have...

  13. Navy hopefuls waiting for ODS date/Station

    midinphx replied to FarawaySoClose's topic in Government, Military

    You navy hopefuls aren't the only ones in the dark. Air Force wait is just as bad. I'm in your boat.... or plane, whatever it may be. lol. I told my friends and family not to ask, I would...

  14. Some more questions about joining ANC

    midinphx replied to burnoutward's topic in Government, Military

    Start time is NOW. The process for nurses to enter any service seems to be equally frustrating and long. Ensure you see a nurse recruiter, as the guy at the storefront is not the recruiter for you....

  15. USAF COT 10-04

    midinphx replied to mt_nurse's topic in Government, Military

    That's a good thought process HNella. I was told from the beginning I would go in January if I got my paperwork in. Packet was done in October. I'm still waiting. I have had no word, though my...

  16. Update on "demotion"

    midinphx replied to 2shihtzus's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with Caliotter. Don't leave. Actually, they have basically already admitted they were wrong to demote you by using you as charge again. Keep doing a great job and enjoy knowing you were...

  17. ? re unlabeled meds

    midinphx replied to OklaLPN's topic in General Nursing

    Any place I've worked, the policy has been to go through pharmacy. Even if it is labeled properly. And you still need an order from the doctor that the patient may take home meds with the...

  18. AF Nov Board Notifications

    midinphx replied to ladyviola's topic in Government, Military

    Still hanging... lol Thanks for the support. My recruiter said he hasn't heard on any of his. He and his superiors are persuing it. There's nothing to do but wait. At least this anxiety of not...

  23. Graduated cot on friday!!!

    midinphx replied to carolinapooh's topic in Government, Military

    I know what you mean about the month thing! When I first started, my recruiter asked if I wanted to aim for October,09. But i said no. I had already committed to walking the Susan G. Komen Breast...

  24. Graduated cot on friday!!!

    midinphx replied to carolinapooh's topic in Government, Military

    I did call. Nothing. No news. Since the start of this process in June, I had expected to go in January. This is a hard day with seeing people finally get told their future. And my future is...

    midinphx replied to carolinapooh's topic in Government, Military
