  2. Army Nursing Question

    shapely replied to newhope2009's topic in Government, Military

    Armyicu-Good point. I knew someone that was unable to obtain a license as well. The school that I went to about halfway through the program requested everyone to have a criminal background check...

  3. Countdown to May COT...

    shapely replied to midinphx's topic in Government, Military

    AFNUR-I would ask the recruiter. We can speculate but I would go with whatever the recruiter says. When I signed papers it did state that I would maintain all of my certifications and licenses...

  4. Countdown to May COT...

    shapely replied to midinphx's topic in Government, Military

    mid-wow, I must be high maintenance. I'm taking 3 weeks off. I need a little extra me time before I fully committ myself. I can't wait to hear from you after

  5. Military Nurse

    shapely replied to keegs13's topic in Government, Military

    I choose AF because I like the bases and their mission. From what I hear your day to day job in the AF is like a civilian job except you are taking care of airmen, their families, and retirees. The...

  6. Countdown to May COT...

    shapely replied to midinphx's topic in Government, Military

    Midinphx-Oh, how I feel your pain :) I can't wait to get to COT and put this behind. I don't think I'll believe it until it happens. Even after the countless times that I've signed and resigned...

  7. New NP in the military

    shapely replied to starla76's topic in Government, Military

    My recruiter made it sound like there were numerous spots for fnp's. We'll probably never know the exact numbers. Start the application process at least 1 year before

  8. Needing some advice and opinions... kinda down:(

    shapely replied to mom2three3's topic in Government, Military

    If you already have a bs, find an accelerated ban program. You can do it in 2 years versus the 3 it will take to do adn then bsn. You're time should count for something. Have you looked at reserves?...

  9. Air Force Nursing Bonus, Student Loan Repayment

    shapely replied to missmiss's topic in Government, Military

    I hope it is still 30,000. When I filled out my application and signed things it was 30,000. The process of confusion continues even after signing my acceptance letter. I was getting ready to...

  11. tricare questions

    shapely replied to midinphx's topic in Government, Military

  12. ROTC vs Cot

    shapely replied to Hungry4Success's topic in Government, Military

    I wish I had done ROTC. You'll probably end up with more money doing ROTC. I think they give a monthly stipend plus pay for your schooling. As for assignments, regardless of when you accept your...

  13. VA CBOC position open - questions

    shapely replied to pooshx2's topic in Government, Military

    See if you can job shadow before applying. It's less acuity than ICU. If it is clinic it will be like family practice. You'll phone triage, call in scripts, pt teaching, and probably checking in the...

  14. Army Nursing Board question

    shapely replied to Iris223's topic in Government, Military

    Your chance for acceptence is as strong as your will to be part of the armed forces. If your heart isn't in this it will shine in your interview and when you speak to your recruiter. The application...

    WTBCRNA-What type of hours do you work as a CRNA? Are you enjoying military APN versus civillian? Do you have extra committees and meetings to go to like floor nurses? Is this going to be a career...

  18. A day in the life. Military Nursing

    shapely replied to midinphx's topic in Government, Military

    What is the ABU? Is it camoflauge? I'm just curious. I've heard the term BDU before but not ABU. Do we have both now? One day I will look back on this question and

    shapely replied to Jams95's topic in Government, Military
