  1. Air Force Nursing Bonus, Student Loan Repayment

    shapely replied to missmiss's topic in Government, Military

    I went back and forth with the long wait. Keep in mind that a few months is nothing compared to your time in service. That was the only thing I had. If you have a job now, be happy. Wait or no wait,...

  2. interviewing with NP and Chief Nurse (air force)

    shapely replied to mt_nurse's topic in Government, Military

    My application went to same board as rn's with experience. I wish I could tell you their secrets to how they pick dates and assignments. There have been people who found out after me leaving before...

  3. Prior nursing exp applies to higher rank?

    shapely replied to ksk33's topic in Government, Military

    ADN time doesn't count only

  4. FOR COT CLASS 10-03 - last minute unsolicited advice

    shapely replied to carolinapooh's topic in Government, Military

    This is great advice. I just wanted to move it back up to page

  5. interviewing with NP and Chief Nurse (air force)

    shapely replied to mt_nurse's topic in Government, Military

    Thanks Kato, that sounds about like what I heard in my interviews, but was curious from someone first hand. It is good to know that the same message is going around. I'll be leaving in August. If...

  6. New NP in the military

    shapely replied to starla76's topic in Government, Military

    They have a form which determines rank. Half time for nursing experience and full time while in school. I got 2 years credit for my masters then 2.5years for my experience. Total 4 years = captain and...

  7. New NP in the military

    shapely replied to starla76's topic in Government, Military

    I just realized what you are saying. If you are going in without the fnp identifier you will work medsurg for two years. I wouldn't trust the automatic transfer. But you will go to ntp. Are you going...

  8. New NP in the military

    shapely replied to starla76's topic in Government, Military

    I just thought about something else. When we deploy it will be as a fnp or medsurg nurse so maybe they will send you to ntp to train. When you sign your contract it has your identifier on it but you...

  9. New NP in the military

    shapely replied to starla76's topic in Government, Military

    If you don't see it on your acceptance letter or orders you won't go. The role of RN is not the same as FNP so I'm not sure if NTP would help much. NTP prepares you for acute care hospital work...

  10. More Military Schooling Qs

    shapely replied to DrCOVID's topic in Government, Military

    Carolina definately go to a school that will let you do both concurrently. If you look at the programs they usually only differ by 2-3 courses. If you wait, you'll have to repeat courses. I knew alot...

  11. I know searching stinks, so if you have a COT question for 10-04....

    shapely replied to carolinapooh's topic in Government, Military

    Are there tests and presentations from book

  12. interviewing with NP and Chief Nurse (air force)

    shapely replied to mt_nurse's topic in Government, Military

    Kato I see you're a fnp. Are you already serving? I'm curious about orientation, continuing Ed conferences, and additional military duties. Oh and patient loads, hours

  13. New NP in the military

    shapely replied to starla76's topic in Government, Military

    Carolina I'll be @ Nellis outside Vegas. Should be interesting. As for mentorship--fnp's don't have a program like new nurses. I'm not a new nurse but I am a new fnp and I was told orientation would...

  14. Canadian Forces - Nursing ??

    shapely replied to zerophyte's topic in Government, Military

    I don't know much about Canada, but in the US when the military pays to train you, the training is at accredited institutions (civilian or military) which then allow you to be licensed by the state....

  15. Air Force Reserves RN

    shapely replied to GaylordBSNRN's topic in Government, Military

    CarolinaPooh-I'm getting the impression that you are the AF cheerleader. I love the enthusiasm. It's part of my desire to

  16. More Military Schooling Qs

    shapely replied to DrCOVID's topic in Government, Military

    Carolinapooh-what are you planning on getting a post masters certificate in? Depending on what you get your masters in, that's all you need to sit for the exam. I have a MSN. My actual degree only...

  17. AF COT

    shapely replied to AF42's topic in Government, Military

    WOW...the new standards are pretty tough. I'd hate to be the one out of shape when I got there. Even though I can pass it now, I'm not a fitness buff and I am wondering are most people who go in...

  18. New NP in the military

    shapely replied to starla76's topic in Government, Military

    I got my 3rd choice. It's starting to sink in

  19. waiting, Air Force Nurse Corps

    shapely replied to Wac44's topic in Government, Military

    The acceptance letter is the only quick part about this. It is sent via email the next day. I think for the rest of our military careers, we should expect the old sayin "hurry up and wait."

  20. Married on active duty

    shapely replied to Schuur451's topic in Government, Military

    I'm going AF, but will try to shed some light. From what I'm hearing the application process is very lengthy for all branches~about a year. There are a lot of applicants who want this way of life....

  21. Countdown to May COT...

    shapely replied to midinphx's topic in Government, Military

    I wish I were going in May. I'm in August. But all things happen for a reason and this will be a summer to enjoy and improve my run time. Can't wait to hear from you when it's all done. Good

  23. waiting, Air Force Nurse Corps

    shapely replied to Wac44's topic in Government, Military

    This is funny :) I'm amazed that we all share the same common problems with the application process. I'll share my timeline too. I wish I would have known that what I was experiencing was the norm...
