  4. Considering Becoming an RN

    JillyRN replied to JimboWalls's topic in Nursing Career

    Just a personal experience: I was one of the lucky ones who was drawn to nursing from a young age. As I got serious about looking into programs and the specifics of the career, I was even more...

    JillyRN replied to JillyRN's topic in Government, Military

    Hi ffemt, I'm applying for a fully qualified clinical nurse (M/S) slot. This is so frustrating. His exact words were, "The board members sent back all the clinical nurse applications for the...

    JillyRN replied to JillyRN's topic in Government, Military

    I completely understand your frustration Kdazzle. This process is an emotional rollercoaster. I hope you are able to hear back from your recruiter soon and that it is better news than I got. Maybe...

  7. Air Force Nursing 2013

    JillyRN replied to JillyRN's topic in Government, Military

    The email from my recruiter did say all the clinical nurse packets were sent back and will be in a separate board held next month. I too was under the impression we would be given the results this...

    JillyRN replied to JillyRN's topic in Government, Military

    I just heard back from my recruiter. The update I got was that all the clinical nurse applicants were sent back and they will be holding a board next month specifically for those. All I need to do...

    JillyRN replied to JillyRN's topic in Government, Military

    Yeah, I think I'm going to call him on my lunch break today. Even if he thinks I'm being annoying, at least they only have to deal with us a little while longer! Haha. The last time I have felt this...

    JillyRN replied to JillyRN's topic in Government, Military

    Haha Carlily, I love that little emoji. That's exactly how I feel right now. I'm also nervous that I haven't heard back from my recruiter. If by chance he has PCS'ed or is on leave, someone else...

  11. Join Air Force nursing without nursing background.

    JillyRN replied to wazup8523257's topic in Government, Military

    Congrats on being almost done with your first degree :) You have a lot of options right now considering your situation. Nurses in the Air Force have BSN's. From there, they can specialize into...

  12. military wife, pre-nursing student

    JillyRN replied to RHill9919's topic in Government, Military

    I totally understand your feelings. It's much harder to choose to be separated versus when they deploy and the choice is made for you. When my husband was stationed in California (Barstow area), I...

    JillyRN replied to JillyRN's topic in Government, Military

    Glad you were able to hear something! This is getting so nerve wrecking. Only one more week hopefully. I emailed my recruiter last week just to check in, but he hasn't responded. Hope everyone has...

  14. Mod I and Mod A what does it mean?

    JillyRN replied to NursingBro's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    What GrnTea said. We used Mod I and Mod A in PM&R (Physical medicine and rehabilitation) to describe the patients ADL status. If they were allowed to move around their room without assistance...

  15. Army or Airforce RN

    JillyRN replied to finallyRN7's topic in Government, Military

    It doesn't hurt to try to contact a recruiter now, since it can take a while just to reach someone. They will let you know if you qualify for one of the nurse training programs for those without...

  16. Air Force Nursing 2013

    JillyRN replied to JillyRN's topic in Government, Military

    Yeah, I heard the same as Carlily, March 8th. I'm trying for Med/Surg. Has anyone heard anything? I've gone through previous board's threads and it seems like results are usually a few days late....

    JillyRN replied to RHill9919's topic in Government, Military

    Becca, I think we're dopplegangers... Hahah My husband was also stationed in California (Ft. Irwin) during that time. I have him to thank for my surplus of frequent flier miles. It was a trying...

    JillyRN replied to JillyRN's topic in Government, Military

    Hi Mlrnurse, Welcome to the forum! I can only give you information based on my experiences as an applicant and what my recruiter told me. 1. You will likely move every 2-3 years depending on...

    JillyRN replied to JillyRN's topic in Government, Military

    Hi Psych, It took me about a week to get an email back after initially contacting a recruiter. I did call too, but never received a call back. Same goes for Navy and Army. The Navy recruiter...

    JillyRN replied to JillyRN's topic in Government, Military

    To my other hopefuls from the Feb board: How's everyone doing?? These last couple weeks flew by, I'm hoping the next few do as well. I haven't checked in with my recruiter for a while but I...

  21. Hawaiian advice needed!

    JillyRN replied to hailmoy1's topic in General Nursing

    I've had the same experiences as previous posters. Moved here as a new grad in 2010. Put out hundreds of applications with not a single lead. Finally found a position on CL in a family medicine...

  22. Moving to Hawaii - new grad

    JillyRN replied to obrn13's topic in General Nursing

    Hi rnkc13, I also moved here as a new grad RN in 2010. Unfortunately, the market is not very good for new grads. As Jenniecubbies said, almost every CNA and clerk in the hospitals are RNs...

    JillyRN replied to RHill9919's topic in Government, Military

    I was in a little different situation because I stayed behind to finish school while my husband PCS'ed around the country. But I agree with the above post, maybe apply to all three when you're about...

  25. Looking to Begin My Career as a Military Nurse

    JillyRN replied to tori1's topic in Government, Military

    The sooner you get in touch with a healthcare recruiter the better! It took me weeks just to get a call back and another week to actually meet with someone. The selection boards meet at various times...
