  1. Air Force Nursing 2013

    JillyRN replied to JillyRN's topic in Government, Military

    Hi Mamakellyd! I think it's a great sign that you clicked with the Chief Nurse for that unit. I was told by my recruiter that the CN interview and their recommendation does carry a lot of weight...

  2. Air Force Nursing 2013

    JillyRN replied to JillyRN's topic in Government, Military

    Hi Ray, My recruiter approached it the same way. I wasn't able to meet with him until I filled out the preliminary paper work (questionnaire and resume). After he approved that stuff, I met with...

  3. Navy opportunites

    JillyRN replied to aregoni32's topic in Government, Military

    If you'd like to be a nurse in the military, you'd first have to complete your BSN and then you would apply to commission into the Nurse Corps. There are programs in the Navy, Army, and AF that you...

  4. What are my chances at the Navy or Army Nurse candidate program and question

    JillyRN replied to leslie95's topic in Government, Military

    Hi Leslie, It looks like you have a solid GPA and volunteer experience is really important as they look into your community involvement when they consider you for selection. I recently applied...

  5. Working for the board of nursing

    JillyRN replied to NurseLatteDNP's topic in Government, Military

    I'm a state employee, and our monthly salary is separated between two paychecks a month. The state benefit package we recieve includes 14 hours of vacation/14 hours of sick leave accumulated monthly,...

    JillyRN replied to JillyRN's topic in Government, Military

    Mobostark, I too am curious as to your experiences. I'm assuming you're stationed at Travis since that is the only place I've heard referred to as the AF Flagship Hospital? Have you been to any...

  8. Air Force Nursing 2013

    JillyRN replied to JillyRN's topic in Government, Military

    I know NTP is an orientation program at a larger hospital with an agreement with the USAF. I'm really not sure about incentives for nursing students or anything. I would just call one of the health...

  9. Air Force Nursing 2013

    JillyRN replied to JillyRN's topic in Government, Military

    Oh yes, sorry, mine was online through Liberty University. If you choose to join the fully qualified route, you would have to already have completed your BSN. From my understanding, those who go the...

  10. Air Force Nursing 2013

    JillyRN replied to JillyRN's topic in Government, Military

    The AF has the NTP (Nurse Transition Program) for nurses with less than 6 months of RN experience. I think it's comparable to the NCP program. As far as I know they don't differentiate between RN-BSN...

  11. Army spouse

    JillyRN replied to KaylaNelson07's topic in Government, Military

    I can understand those feelings. I'm sure you will be able to find some sort of experience, it just may not be what you are hoping for. From what I hear from RNs in other locations, the market is...

  12. ADN to BSN?

    JillyRN replied to BigCSN's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Congrats on finishing your ADN! I too started with my ADN and recently finished up my BSN. From my experience, there is no immediate benefit. However, I live somewhere with a very competitive...

    I'm telling myself late March because of the last board's experience. It's going to be a long (LONG) few

  14. Navy airforce or army nurse?! Help

    JillyRN replied to yvettekatt's topic in Government, Military

    I'd say contact them now just to see if you qualify for any of the NTP (nurse transition programs). I know there is a program in each branch that allows you to apply while a student and then go...

  15. Schofield Barracks, HI

    JillyRN replied to KaylaNelson07's topic in Government, Military

    Hi Kayla! Congrats on the orders to Hawaii, we do love it here regardless of the troubles I had trying to find a job. I know I gave you a little bit of background on my experience but I can...

    Just sent it zuman

  17. Military Resume

    JillyRN replied to zuman929's topic in Government, Military

    I remember my recruiter sending me an example resume and just asked me to update it with my information. It was a little more detailed than a typical resume, but not nearly as extensive as a DOD...

  18. Navy airforce or army nurse?! Help

    JillyRN replied to yvettekatt's topic in Government, Military

    It doesn't hurt to try to contact a healthcare recruiter for all 3 branches. However, some may not speak with you without you being at least enrolled in a BSN program. Generally, they all offer a...

  19. How much did the military give you for you loan repayment?

    JillyRN replied to skandy's topic in Government, Military

    I can't speak for the Army, but I've recently put in a packet for the AF and considered using the tuition reimbursement. The sign on bonus was 30K for 4 years, and if I wanted to take tuition...

    JillyRN replied to JillyRN's topic in Government, Military

    Thank you so much ljv for answering all that. Congrats to your wife, she sounds like she'll make an awesome Nurse Corps Officer. Two weeks doesn't sound too bad to wait for orders for COT and your...

  21. Air Force Nursing 2013

    JillyRN replied to JillyRN's topic in Government, Military

    Thanks for all the great information. I too am concerned about the process between orders, COT, and moving if I am selected. Fortunately my husband has been through a few and should be able to...

    JillyRN replied to JillyRN's topic in Government, Military

    Kdazzle, Yeah, the islands are beautiful and there really is never a shortage of things to do. However, I've started to really miss the seasons changing and being able to go on roadtrips, etc....

  23. Military Spouse RN

    JillyRN replied to tortorRN's topic in Government, Military

    Tortor: I really liked the program. I loved the 8 week classes and it was great not having any out of pocket expenses when it comes to books and fees. The other schools I looked at based on cost...

  24. Air Force Nursing 2013

    JillyRN replied to JillyRN's topic in Government, Military

    Yeah, I was told you have to do your first tour on the mainland, but the forms asked for overseas preference too. Even though I noticed two people selected from this past board got Alaska for their...

  25. Air Force Nursing 2013

    JillyRN replied to JillyRN's topic in Government, Military

    Good idea Carlily. I just listed states in my workbook since we aren't familiar with many AF bases. I put North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, Texas and California. We currently live in...
