Hey! I am did my first reserve weekend last wkend and it was awesome :yeah: I'm at Pope AFB and am training to be a flight nurse I'm going to COT in Feb...just miss ya! Sorry it took me this long to letcha know! Tina

awesome Dane! I hope to hear soon:) nothing yet...sigh...

Will Do and it's good to know I'm not alone!!!

I totally agree!!! We have made it this far and not everyone can. We all deserve a pat on the back... lets keep in touch so perhaps we'll be at COT the same time or share some more experiences about this whole process. Lots of luck to everyone who h...

To my understanding about the last board: if you were not selected as a selectee or an alternate spot then you were a "non-select". Sounds like you and I were in the same boat last fall. Lets cross fingers for this month's board!!!

Oahufish, I would have to consult an active duty recruiter in your area to be sure. I do know the age cut off is 42 for the Air Force. I hope it does work out for you. It's taken me over a year for active duty application/ processing and it's taken ...

IowaRNBSN, I do not remember. I believe I put down asap. available. I submitted last fall so I believe I actually used spring 2011 time-frame as prefered at that time. I had a phone call from the active duty recruiter in May asking if it was OK to re...

Thanks! Will do! I worked last night and off to bed for a bit to go back tonight..It will give me something to do. Yeah, mine would have BEEN done, but it accidently got held for about a month on a desk, awaiting some paperwork from the clinic...dram...

I was told last fall I had a great chance...I was later told I was a non-select most likely due to possitions available. I was told 200 applicants last fall and only 11 spots, plus I imagine the back-up people, too. My recruiter stated she has never ...

Well, I'm hoping for ya! Either way we got a good chance of winding up at COT about the same time! I'm in the exact same possition, except I don't know just yet...any day about the reserves (have been told it will happen likely by the end of this mon...

o...man! thanks . i am on the list for reserves and have been told i will likely get the oath by the end of this month...i believe they are in a race to lock me in as a flight nurse reserve position. i honestly don't think i'll get picked if i wasn't...

You can give it a shot , but I've been told there are only 4 locations with flight nurse units and Pope is the only one close. Let me know what you find out:) You know how recruiters can be...they will promise you anything...to find out it's not quit...

Has anyone heard anything yet from the July boards? I'm just curious as I am looking to go reserves if the active duty does not work out (I'm ICU and was already put on the back burner in the Nov board selection). Thanks!!!

IowaRNBSN, How's it going? Did you make any plans for the reserves? Did you hear back from active duty side? I haven't heard anything from the June board and didn't expect to really. The slots were very few and far in between for ICU RNs. I am now w...

Good luck to you, too! I'm sure I'll love it:) I'm sooo looking forward to getting in/ started. I hope you're right about receiving possitive news soon! I believe you're right! I got an email stating I'm OK to receive the sign on bonus, so looks like...

AndyRN, I live about one hr south of Langly (elizabeth city, NC) and I will have to go to Pope AFB for flight nursing (3 hour drive for me). I'm still waiting for that to start, will hear hopefully this month:) I tried to go in active duty, but did n...

I believe you will never know until you try. I started as a CNA during my first college experience in 1991-1993. I got my ADN RN at that time. It took another 14 years for me to go back for my BSN. There is no more pay for that unless I leave to anot...

I think you will do fine. You will prob. love it...regular hours and nursing!?!? WOW! You will never know unless you try. Good luck!

One other thing...I never did hear how many MICU nurses they picked last fall. I heard they only picked like one ER nurse...so pretty unclear there. Did anyone ever hear better numbers and wonder what the chances are this time as I was a non-select l...

rnpic, we're in the same boat again! I believe we've talked before I was a non-select last fall, too. I got a call mid April from my recruiter and she told me they wanted to know if anything had changed? If I was still working in ICU and such? I sai...

I sent it again...wierd.

I just wrote a private message to you. I gave you my email, too. I do think you're making the right choice to get a way in . From what I've seen it's very tough to get in otherwise. Talk soon

You sound just the same as me. I went for active duty last year and was NOT chosen. As I hear it, they chose about 11 of over 200 applicants in 2010. I was upset but then got a notice from my college looking for flight nurses in the reserves. I am go...

Hi all, I had to take a week off so I could finish my last BSN paper:) I will graduate Dec 18th. I did not get in this time around either. Did anyone think of the Air Force reserves??? I am going to call tomorrow and talk to them. If my package is do...

has anyone mentioned putting a few packets of sugar in juice vs plain old juice for a diabetic with hypoglycemia??? NOW...back in my day...lol...OK, 16 years ago a nurse stuck a couple of packets in OJ and gave it. The sugar was up before ya knew it....
