    I am so sorry to all of you out there. I had no idea that it would be this difficult. My recruiter also told me that this is the first time he has not had a 100% selection rate. He told me I was...

    w2cross2blue replied to Mommy of 2's topic in Government, Military

    I feel your pain. This "not knowing" is difficult! I put in for an emergency nurse position. I had thoughts of joining the military early in my 20's but ended up married and raising 2 kids instead!...

    w2cross2blue replied to Mommy of 2's topic in Government, Military

    Thanks Tina73RN. That gives us all hope! I called my recruiter and he told me he would let me know as soon as he knew. He did say that this is the toughest board he has ever seen in all his years of...

    w2cross2blue replied to Mommy of 2's topic in Government, Military

    That is so disappointing, especially after being told you would be selected by so many people. I am still waiting to hear. I am not sure how long I am willing to wait to get in. My recruiter...

    akellyrn, That is very disappointing. What is your next step? Is is more waiting? What advice did your recruiter give? I haven't heard from my recruiter since Monday. He told me he would call me...

    w2cross2blue replied to IowaRNBSN's topic in Government, Military

    IowaRNBSN, my recruiter seemed to like varied specialized work experience like ICU, ER, any teaching or supervising experience, or preceptoring experience. He also encouraged volunteer and community...

    w2cross2blue replied to Mommy of 2's topic in Government, Military

    Katarific.. My guess, and this is just a guess, is that they are waiting to see if they fill all their positions with the current board that is now in session. They started November 2 and finish...

    Sounds like you are right on track. I am hoping for July 2011 or August 2011 COT date. I am contractually bound to my current job until July. You might try for a certification while you are...

    w2cross2blue replied to Mommy of 2's topic in Government, Military

    I have been "in the process" since March of this year. It is a good feeling, but also a little scary. It has felt like such a pipe dream for the past several months, now the reality is setting in....

    w2cross2blue replied to Mommy of 2's topic in Government, Military

    Thanks for sharing Danegerous. It helps to know what the odds are. It is hard to believe that with a war going on they are not needing more nurses. It may be that they just can't afford to pay more...

    w2cross2blue replied to NurseLil-lea's topic in Government, Military

    Nurse Lil-lea, I would say that is a GREAT sign! I don't think most people get through the application process! I think this means that your application is now going to the people in the department...
