  1. Civilian Volunteer aboard Hospital Ships

    I have not personally called this number, but it was a number I saw posted. It is not really what you are asking about, but maybe someone there can point you in the right direction... American Airlines is taking doctors and nurses to Haiti for free....
  2. Alternate List for ADHPLRP

    Yes, my recruiter did tell me that I could be eligible when I got to my duty station. So, how do I re-apply?

    Thank you for that information Raki!
  4. Enlisted Reservists applying to go active as a nurse

    What I can tell you is that I too was a mechanic and gave 5 years reserve time all the while attending nursing school. I applied for the stipend while I was in nursing school and I was still performing my monthly duties with my reserve unit. I init...
  5. Don't worry about the weight issue just yet. They will have to set you up for MEPS which is the military entrance processing system physical and that is when it will matter, but that may be 2 months away. Go ahead and contact a recruiter and they w...
  6. COT dates/assignments update, kind of

    I can only speak for myself, but we are all talking AD. Reserves are vastly different. The reserve unit in which you will be assigned selects a Reserve COT date for you, which is only a two week course. On the AD side the COT date is selected by a...
  7. Alternate List for ADHPLRP

    AF for me as well and I too have already been accepted.
  8. Enlisted Reservists applying to go active as a nurse

    I can tell you all about it. I was AF traditional reservist and went to nursing school and decided to go AD. Are you currently in the reserves now? You can actually apply for a stipend that will guarantee you a slot in NTP once you complete nursin...
  9. Duty Stations

    I didn't get any of my choices, but they had to base everything off of both my ICU experience and my husbands experience since he is AD as well. They will look at what you choose as well as their need and any other factors that may play into the dec...
  10. Alternate List for ADHPLRP

    I was told the same thing by my recruiter just yesterday. I have never heard of this before and I am prior service, so anyone with any information on this will help me out as well.
  11. Can/should I haggle with the recruiter?

    What are you wanting to haggle?
  12. So my heart broke when I saw this patient....

    I work in an LTAC with vent/trach patients that are critically ill and our hospital is the last stop for most of them. We go out of our way to make them as comfortable as possible whether it be with food, holiday decorations or simply companionship....
  13. Sketchers

    I was wondering about these. They look silly but the comments seem to be pretty positive. I will at least go try on a pair. Thanks for the insight!

  16. Lovenox question.

    What was the problem with the patient? Why were they sent to the ER? Lovenox is weight based, so the dosing should have been established based off of weight of the patient and not just some personal preference. Lovenox can also be given in a bolus...
  17. I work in a long term care setting and about 90% of my patients have a PEG tube and the others usually have duotubes or NGT. These patients get a multitude of medications some of which HAVE to be mixed with warm water to somewhat dissolve them befor...
  18. Mar09 COT - Questions PLEASE

    Ok, first let me tell you this is coming from someone that is prior enlisted but the commissioning thing is all new to me. I too will be attending March COT. If there is any way for you to begin the task of purchasing uniforms it is helpful. The ...
  19. Airforce Updates - Boards/Bonus

    The bonus was probably reduced due to the influx of applicants secondary to our lovely economy. Either way, the military is a great gig and will afford you way more opportunities than most civilian jobs! So, whether it is the bonus, loan repayment,...
  20. AF Nov. Board Results for NTP

    mt nurse: Your recruiter passes all your information off to the new recruiter coming into that office, so someone is working for you. If you haven't heard anything yet, it is because they have not considered your package. When they do consider your...
