  4. First PCS move after COT with family and dogs

    w2cross2blue posted a topic in Government, Military

    Ok, so I know I am probably not going to be going to COT until August 2011 or later but I am a planner and as usual trying to plan ahead! I understand from other posts that you are typically given 3...

  5. First PCS move after COT with family and dogs

    w2cross2blue replied to w2cross2blue's topic in Government, Military

    During your "house hunting days" are you confined to a x # of mile radius to your new base? Would it be possible to move during that time

  6. Air Force journey update!! Info needed about Wright-Patterson Chief Nurse Interview.

    w2cross2blue replied to fitRNpic's topic in Government, Military

    My recruiter "prepped me" with scenerio questions and even asked me if I knew the Joint Commission patient safety goals for the year! Fortunately the chief nurse didn't ask me anything like that....

  8. VA Nursing

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

    Hi NurseLil-lea! I currently work at a VA hospital in the emergency department but I pass meds on the Medical and Surgical floors for overtime. LPNs at our facility generally are the med nurses. We...

    Thanks Mid! I am sure as time goes by, I will have a million

  10. Air Force journey update!! Info needed about Wright-Patterson Chief Nurse Interview.

    w2cross2blue replied to fitRNpic's topic in Government, Military

    Thanks Mid! I finalized my application with my recruiter yesterday. It is going to the November board. I am hoping to hear in December but will try to remain patient. We did change my availability...

  11. Air Force journey update!! Info needed about Wright-Patterson Chief Nurse Interview.

    w2cross2blue replied to fitRNpic's topic in Government, Military

    I am happy to report I think it went well. My chief nurse was professional, kind, and not at all intimidating. She asked about my reasons for joining, explained the process of job selection, new...

    I am interested too in any advice. My interview is

  13. New to VA Nursing

    w2cross2blue replied to Rhonda V's topic in Government, Military

    I was asked during my interview about a few ER scenerios and how I would prioritize the patients. I also was asked to give specific examples of how I had "made a change" or implemented a new...

  14. New to VA Nursing

    w2cross2blue replied to Rhonda V's topic in Government, Military

    I work at VISN 16 and have loved my last 6 years here. I agree with previous posters that any nurse I have known that has left (and I can only think of 2 in the past 6 years!!) have tried to come...

  15. VA Hiring Question

    w2cross2blue replied to chloecatrn's topic in Government, Military

    I currently work at a VA and I feel although they do all the hiring completely legally and "by the books", people that know someone on the inside definitely get hired more quickly than those that do...

  16. Eglin AFB

    w2cross2blue replied to aniko743's topic in Government, Military

    Thanks for sharing your timeline. I had no idea when I started the application process that it would take so long. I am thankful I have a good job in the meantime! Congratulations

  17. Eglin AFB

    w2cross2blue replied to aniko743's topic in Government, Military

    Congratulations! I am happy to see you got your first choice. I am hoping to get one of my top three (Travis, Eglin, Langley). Were you part of the May selection board? Also, how long from the...

  18. AF Nursing, yes or no?

    w2cross2blue replied to JanetSmithRN's topic in Government, Military

    Thanks. I am hoping that I can use my CEU's for my CEN as well as my CCRN. They are definitely more picky with the CCRN about what counts and for which area of critical care nursing. I am hoping...

  19. AF Nursing, yes or no?

    w2cross2blue replied to JanetSmithRN's topic in Government, Military

    I am coming in as Captain (hopefully). My top three choices are Travis, Eglin, and Langley. Emergency department is my specialty but I also have ICU experience and my CCRN. My long term goal is CRNA...

  20. AF Nursing, yes or no?

    w2cross2blue replied to JanetSmithRN's topic in Government, Military

    Mid, Thank you so much for your honest answer. I get the feeling that with joining comes this awesome responsibility that includes feeling guilty about saying or thinking negatively about your...

  21. AF Nursing, yes or no?

    w2cross2blue replied to JanetSmithRN's topic in Government, Military

    As someone who is actively trying to get in, I am curious to know from those of you who have made it through COT and are at your duty stations, any regrets? I know the road is bumpy getting there but...

  22. Question about Boards

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

    1. You first meet face to face with your recruiter and they re fill out most of your application in the format they want it. 2. They then send you with "letters of reference" forms that you have...

  23. Current Bonus/Loan Repayment Information for all branches

    w2cross2blue replied to Gazi's topic in Government, Military

    Doesn't the new fiscal year start in October for all the branches? The online "instant chat" air force recruiter told me the bonuses will not be set in stone for 2011 until

  24. Horror stories- MEPS

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

    My MEPS experience wasn't bad either. There was no yelling. The worst part was the blaring country music on the TV in the waiting area! Do bring a light jacket and do wear conservative undies and...

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

    HI Mommy of 2! Welcome to the LONG process of applying to the Air Force. I think what you may be asking about is the chief nurse interview. This happens after your first meeting with the Healthcare...
