  2. Persistence is paying off...

    Oldlove replied to Oldlove's topic in Government, Military

    That's a good idea. Being near family the first tour will ease you in nicely to military life. We're in the same boat, we live in Seattle, so if our options are limited but Seattle area is available...

  5. Considering navy. Pros. Cons? Kids.

    Oldlove replied to ohmg's topic in Government, Military

    Oh to answer your question about days...say for example you work 36 hour weeks in a civilian job, that's great and considered full time. In the military if someone is sick or there's not enough staff...

  6. Considering navy. Pros. Cons? Kids.

    Oldlove replied to ohmg's topic in Government, Military

    Collateral duty could mean different things, what I know it to be is being the PFA/PRT coordinator, BLS/ACLS instructor, MWR rep, so on and so forth. Choosing where you want to go can be pretty...

  7. Military pay? (Navy)

    Oldlove replied to ohmg's topic in Government, Military

    Ohmg, The US Navy will give you 1/2 credit for every one year of professional nursing (BSN not ADN). So say you've been an RN-BSN for 2 years, that would be 1 year credit toward your next rank. So...

    Oldlove replied to allgod's topic in Government, Military

    Oldlove replied to MaleRNstudent21's topic in Government, Military

    Hi there Corey, You asked about the chances of getting into the navy nurse corps. Look at it this way, not trying = zero percent chance. Generally though, the goal of the navy is to make sure they...

  20. Navy NCP August or September 2011 Board

    Oldlove replied to The Tiki's topic in Government, Military

    Quick update from my end. My kit was submitted in August, but was pushed back to October. Their reason was August wasn't for FY12. Same old story though, what you think is good, really isn't, which...

  22. ?s Benefits-Reserve vs Active Duty (BSN)

    Oldlove replied to wildcatRNBSN2010's topic in Government, Military

    As far as meeting recruiters faster that's completely up to you, you have to initiate the call or knock on their door, so to speak. This whole process can take up to two years, avg time is one year....

    You're very welcome. I started the process while I was in the ADN-BSN ladder program (I ended up doing direct commission app) This month marks my two year journey of paperwork and endless reference...

  24. AF recruitment questions

    Oldlove replied to BVFD 333's topic in Government, Military

    Always good to start the process sooner rather than later. This way you know if you're on the right track. Also, paperwork is very burdening, references, background check, etc. The process is a...

  25. Experienced RN ICU looking at Army/Navy. Thoughts?

    Oldlove replied to snowbiggie's topic in Government, Military
