  1. FY 2014 Air Force Nursing

    I feel your frustration. It was 18 months for me from the time I contacted a recruiter to the time I went to cot. Worth the wait, though. I didn't request a clinic. I actually requested large medical centers (either overseas or states), but ended up ...
  2. FY 2014 Air Force Nursing

    SG... I am a clinical nurse in the AF. I had 7 years of civilian nursing experience prior to joining (med/surg, tele, outpatient surgery). I predominantly worked 3 12's most of my career so the AF was a big adjustment for me. Since I had so many year...
  3. November 2010 Air Force Board Selections

    Congratulations to all of you who got selected! It's a great feeling! I just finished COT April 8 and have been working about a month now. It's exciting, new, and A LOT to learn!!!
  4. The start of a new journey

    If your ultimate goal is to be a RN in the military then I would bypass the ADN and just go ahead and get the BSN. You have to have it to be an officer.
  5. sign now in Air Force as BSN or wait until DNP

    I leave Tuesday for COT and this whole process has taken me 19 months. I would go ahead with your program. You'll get a lot of it done before you would ever even leave!
  6. Graduated cot on friday!!!

    Carolina-Pooh, Does anything get sewn on the lightweight blues jacket?
  7. Should I go ADAF if my husband is also active duty

    My husband is enlisted and I will be leaving for COT in about 23 days (but who's counting?) My husband originally had orders for Hurlbert Field, but those orders were changed to coincide with mine when I received mine. We are now stationed at the s...
  8. PLEASE HELP...COT specific questions

    Thanks Mid. I'm going tomorrow to get all the uniforms.
  9. PLEASE HELP...COT specific questions

    Thank you!
  10. PLEASE HELP...COT specific questions

    For those of you who have already gone or are at cot now, should I have my rank sewn on all my abu's or just on one pair?
  11. AF alternate list updates

    Who WOULD have thought 14 push ups would be hard??? I started out being able to do 5. Now I can do 9. I have a month to get to that magic number of 14! AHH!
  12. Commissioned RN in Air Force.. what do you do?

    You must have a bachelors of science in nursing.
  13. Air Force October 2010

    Ha! I love it!
  14. How long and which one

    By the time I started the application process to the time that I actually leave for training it will have taken 18 months. If you are serious about it... Start now. The military gives you half credit for your experience as time served. This goes towa...
  15. waiting, Air Force Nurse Corps

    Nothing about the whole process is clear cut. There have been many times I've read about people on this web site whose experiences have been way different from mine. I haven't seen one person who has had the same time frame of events as I have had. (...
  16. waiting, Air Force Nurse Corps

    Well, I commissioned yesterday as a Captain in the USAF! My recruiter said my orders should be here in December and I think I'm going to start buying some uniforms! I really thought the day would never come. It's been a long process (started July 20...
  17. waiting, Air Force Nurse Corps

    Found out today that I have until next Friday to commission! I'm so excited! This day seemed sooo far off, but now things are finally starting to fall into place! Whew... There's a lot to be said for patience and perseverance!
  18. waiting, Air Force Nurse Corps

    Hawkeye, My packet went to the November boards last year, but got pushed back to the January boards of this year because of too many applicants. I found out that I got accepted April 1 and will be leaving for COT March 2011. I'm hoping to commissio...
  19. For those of you currently nursing in the Air Force, do you know if/what bonuses are available to sign up for additional years after your initial commitment is over? At one time I had heard it was $25,000 per year. I'm not sure that is accurate, tho...
  20. Bonuses for signing back up for AF nursing

    Thanks!
  21. Relocating with family questions (AF nurses)

    Thanks for the info. I hope you get your pay straightened out soon. I know that is frustrating. I'm going to check into usaa. Thanks for the advice.
  22. Relocating with family questions (AF nurses)

    Mid- What were you told would be the time frame that you would receive your sign-on bonus since you are now done with COT? Or have you already?
  23. Housing near Keesler

    Future AF Wife: I'm not familiar with those roads. What city are they in? My husband is at Keesler right now for tech school, so next time I'm there I'll drive around and see if I can spot the housing and take some pics.
  24. COT 10-04 nurse to 10-05

    Congrats Mid! Wow! That flew by. Have fun at graduation!
  25. Housing near Keesler

    No, she didn't, but I will be sure and ask about that! Thanks!
