    shapely replied to WildcatFanRN's topic in Government, Military

    Drive to Louisville and work for Norton. I worked there too and it's a great place to work and only about 45 minutes up the road. You'll get really good

    shapely replied to coptoarnyrn's topic in Government, Military

    shapely replied to starla76's topic in Government, Military

    Hi all, I wanted to update as I promised. The AF has been good to me. I've had a very reduced schedule, a physician preceptor, and am slowly building to 90pts/week but I still work 45-50 hours a...

    shapely replied to PNP4KIDZ's topic in Government, Military

    The process took me about a year from application to commission. I posted my timeline in the past, you can review my previous posts to find it. I'm AD FNP and a brand new one at that. The process...

    shapely replied to coptoarnyrn's topic in Government, Military

    a. Yes b. I wouldn't worry because it could change by time you get there. c. Use NCLEX study books when studying for exams, they have good questions for the actual NCLEX and a lot of teachers use...

    shapely replied to WildcatFanRN's topic in Government, Military

    I worked at Ireland (Ft. Knox) in L&D a few years ago as a GS employee. It's a nice hospital. Most GS jobs won't even look at your application if you don't have one year of experience in the...

    shapely replied to npduckie's topic in Government, Military

    NPDuckie--I have heard what wtbcrna is talking about before. There was an Adult NP on this forum who went army and they didn't have a MOS for adult NP and she went in as med surg with the hopes that...

    shapely replied to hollyhockstorm's topic in Government, Military

    shapely replied to T-Dasha's topic in Government, Military

    The MSN would be sufficient but I've heard that they are taking less NP's without floor nursing experience. Not none but

    shapely replied to Z A C H's topic in Government, Military

    Mbarn08--sorry if i upset u. Didn't mean to put you on the defense. That's just what some of the crna's I talk to have mentioned because I've asked why pacu doesn't count when we too hold for icu...

    shapely replied to Z A C H's topic in Government, Military

    Sorry for the long vent. I'm not really a complainer. I'll keep you posted. Maybe my sponsor will contact me before I

  17. New Grad FNP, no RN exp., going to USAF?

    shapely replied to FNPdude74's topic in Government, Military

    Thanks wtbcrna. You've got me thinking. NP's can quickly lose their skill set being in a different role for an entire pcs change. That's disappointing that a commander could be unprofessional and...

    shapely replied to FNPdude74's topic in Government, Military

    wtbcrna--what is afit. what do you mean most nps don't work as nps for the majority of the time? that will be very disappointing for me. i was told the opposite, only minimum time would be spent...

    shapely replied to FNPdude74's topic in Government, Military

    Don't get out of the msn program. You can always do bedside nursing with your master's degree. Us nurses sometimes eat our young. When I interviewed with air force fnp, she said she didn't like...

    shapely replied to FNPdude74's topic in Government, Military

    You don't have to have rn experience but when you deployed if they don't need a np you may work as a med surg rn. I've never worked med surg so that would be interesting. My recruiter mentioned that...

    shapely replied to futurern123's topic in Government, Military

    If your civilian doctor said you have asthma and you don't agree...get another doctor (can be another civillian). You can always see a pulmonologist. One visit doesn't make a diagnosis of asthma....

    I noticed you mentioned air force reserves. I was under the impression that reservists had to have experience. I would double check with recruiter because reservists typically work part time and ntp...
