Mommy of 2

HAHAHA I guess I should have known better than to ask that.... Im just curious what are the most common meds but I understand now it's a silly question. Wanted to know what meds to brush up on for job at LTC....

Quick question that you might be able to answer.... what if you had 6 months nursing experience from late 2008-early 2009 and have not been working since then... Are you still considered "qualified"?

I read in previous posts about not to wear a sports bra.... can someone tell me what is the big deal? And what are some other things to watch out for? People said they got yelled at all day.... want to try and avoid that if possible. lol :)

Just wanted to know the common medications you deal with on a neuro floor?

when you do the push ups for COT do they make you go all the way to the ground and can you cheat by resting your knees on ground? push ups are what i am worried about. lol

After you turn in your application and other paperwork to the AF healthcare recruiter, do you have to complete physical and then they turn in application? Also, when they turn in application do you have to wait to see if your accepted in, or is that ...

Does everyone have to have copies of their pap smears, etc??? or only if you have something abnormal.

I completely agree. When I see the previous nurse just let it hang there. I throw it away and use a new one.

Thanks for the advice.

U can just answer on blog if you like. I am very curious about the app date and boards. I keep hearing things from other peoples posts that makes me think it will be forever to get in AF....

what are the chances..... i sent you a private message.

I live in Greenville county. I have been speaking with the recruiter over the phone and through emails. My experience has been good also. She responds to my email quickly. I plan to meet with her in Charlotte, NC in two weeks. I would love to make i...

If I have less than 1 year experience will I be required to do the NTP?

Thanks for the info. My recruiter actually sent me the application via email for me to fill out myself.... Also, she told me to get letters of recommendation and didn't mention forms that need to be filled out for that.... I tell ya, I get confused s...

I was told the next board is november and the next one is january. But I am not a new grad. I have less than a years experience though. Not sure if I will need to do NTP....

thanks for the info!

I read in many posts people talking about meeting with the chief nurse. When do you meet with the chief nurse? I was curious the order that things happen. For example, you meet with healthcare recruiter, do you then fill out application; then what? S...

Also, should I talk with my recruiter that I heard from others that there IS a board in November or will I be stepping on toes? Don't want her to think I am rude or pushy. I am just very excited to join AF!

Thanks for the info. I just talked with the healthcare recruiter today. She first said that the application was due on Sept 28 and said board was in January but later in the conversation she said hopefully she could get my application in by november ...

thanks for the info!

I read posts saying to be prepared when I speak with the recruiter and I wanted to know what specific things I should ask about. (I have my BSN and I want to commission into the AF. I am also married with children.) Also, is it a waste of time to go ...

How did you know to put lackland on your list? Is there a way to know which bases over what openings as a nurse? And what positions will guarantee deployment? I don't know much about this. Considering going into AF and all this info is extremely help...

I understand why you would check if mother is Rh- but why for O blood?

A little hint.... Decreased H/H, blood loss.
