MSNtobe

Hi everyone, I am new to this website and would like to ask if anybody here in this board is NP in military. My aunt who is same age with me (32) currently just graduate from NP program (MSN) from local university here in state and currently licensed as RN in state. She didn't had any experience working as RN in USA since she unable to get a job, so she decide to further her education in graduate program and now she just graduate and waiting to take a test to become FNP. She considerate to joint millitary as NP. We trying to call recruiter and they never return call back. I wonder if anybody here can give us an idea how long the process is to apply as NP in millitary (she want to joint airforce). What is the application process?, I heard that they require working references and personal references also?, how about her case that she never work in US?, can we use references from another country? How is difficult the basic trainning is? Can RN experience from another country count toward her experience as a nurse? Please anybody share with us , we will be appreciate it.

Hi, Thank you so much for reply. Can I have your e-mail address?, I am not sure if I can do that since I am not premium member.

Hi everybody, I am new to this board, actually I just become member yesterday (12/06/2009). I wonder if anybody in this board currently attend University of South Alabama nursing program (MSN-NP track)?. I got accept in Psy-NP track for spring, 2010. I have 10+ years experience as ICU RN in USA. Last years I change my nursing field from ICU to Psy nurse due to burn out and want to try something new and I absolutely love it. I was original from another country where English is not first language. I am kind of nervous because I heard that graduate program need extensive writing skills. I would like to know that which subject (courses) are require extensive writing assignment. Do this subjects require extensive writing assignment? Advanced Nursing Research, Theoretical Foundations of Advanced Nursing, Advanced Nursing leadership Roles and Concepts, Health Care Policy and Economics, Advanced Nursing Assessment. Can anybody who used to attend this class in USA, please share their experiences about these class with me? And how hard it to get a pass grade (B). Thank you so much in advance. Pam
