TnRN43

Actually the cutoff age is 47-from age 48 requires a waiver. Age 42 refers to enlisted, not commissioned. It's understood that you won't qualify for retirement and you won't qualify for AFIT and maybe a couple of smaller things, but yes, the cut of...

Hi! We are in fact Class 16-06. The class and dates are located on the Air Force cot page.

Well I made it! Alternate from October board and just got the call! Headed to COT in august! Totally excited. Does anyone know if we have a Facebook page yet?

Hi. I am about to take my first travel nursing position in Jacksonville Florida. I have one agency looking for something at Memorial Hospital Jacksonville, and another with positions in Baptist Hospital downtown. Looking for any input on these 2 h...

Well. I'm alternate #10, so I guess I just sit back and wait!

Im working too and thought the same thing!!

OMG!!! Morgan I am so happy for you!!! However, I feel sick. Now I will lose my mind before I hear, lol.

Ecjwalker-if I may ask, what number alternate were you? Just curious how far down the alternate list made it in.

Well good luck doktorbird! It has definitely been a long time coming for most of us. Hopefully the next few weeks go pretty fast and we all get some good news!

Actually yes, my recruiter did say that sept 11 was the original date that our packages are due. However, he said we now have until the 29th when the board meets. So I guess Sept 29th?

Hey! I just got back literally 10 minutes ago from Nashville. I had my CNO interview this morning. It was an awesome experience, actually meeting my recruiter (and the recruiter that I started with that got promoted) and interviewing with the CNO....

Hi! I am applying to the Oct AF Nurse board and have a question. Does anyone have any experience with DQ conditions? The only things I have on mine medical history that could cause a problem are hypothyroid (controlled) and headaches. I have chron...

Wow. Well. I am well aware of the draw backs, the unbelievable competition, the strict selection guidelines and all the other discouraging details. Thank you. Very much. I'm well aware that my chances are beyond slim and that most others will ha...

I will be taking my med surge certification exam soon, so I will have that. I also have bls and acls. We don't go to mess now until we are selected so I wouldn't go until October at the soonest.

Actually I don't need an age waiver. The max age is 48.

Well I don't have a thing to worry about when it comes to lying-the recruiter has 15 years worth of my medical records, lol. I did list both conditions on my workbook. I just saw somewhere that someone said migraines/headaches were a DQ. I could s...

I'm not sure. He read off the list of specialties and their numbers and he said 30 for med surge. I know it had been 15 for the previous board. I sure hope he's right!!

Hi! I am applying for the September/October board also. I am so excited as it's right around the corner. I'm coming from a little different angle though. I am a civilian with no prior and I am older-46. I am applying for a FQ med surge position, ...

Thank you! I think my cumulative was 3.58. My BSN was 3.8. We start signing up for classes in November. I decided to mix mine up a bit so I don't spend 2 straight semesters writing papers for 4 classes. Im taking Theoretical Foundations and Adv ...

Hi, I will be starting Spring 2015. My home school is ETSU where I graduated with my BSN in August. I think I was notified in August of my acceptance and received my packet. I am sooo excited and ready to get started.

Hate it. With a passion. 5-6 pts? Nope, 7. We are also supposed to be doing bedside reporting. If we actually did it? In reality it would be almost 8 before night shift left and I got started. We are a med surg floor with alot of high acuity a...

Geographic location: East Tennessee Pay rate: 18.10 In which area / specialty do you work? Med Surge What type of license do you have (RN or LPN)? RN What type of degree and/or certification do you have? ASN, will have BSN this summer How many year...

I work a busy med surge floor and our ratio is 7:1.

I am a new grad in orientation and I am confused. I have run across an issue with IVPB running too fast and it was explained to me that if the primary is set faster than the IVPB then the pump will revert to the primary rate? Or gravity takes over ...

I agree, lol, but I am still confused HOW it happened. I had a second nurse verify the settings after this happend to see if I had it programmed wrong. I didn't. So, if I had it programmed correctly, how could this possibly have happend, that is m...
