So this is wrong. I have a year left and have been getting paid full O3 pay, which is my current rank. The O1 thing is for the baby docs.

Really? I would think they for sure would pick up a mental health RN!

I did! I figured.

Dang this thread dried up fast. Updates people! Lol I'm waiting for my scroll.

Just requested Wow, oath already complete? That means you've already been scrolled. That was fast. I found out I made it on 10/7 and nothing yet

Fellow HPSP selects, any word on the next step? I was told scrolling by my recruiter who's actually pretty awesome. I'm a reserve officer and remember scrolling taking a couple of months. Congrats to everyone that got good news, I know the dual application process was brutal! To those that didn't make it this round, keep your head up, there's always another chance!

I was also told by my recruiter pay grade is 0-1 for the 3 years of school. TIG/TIS still accrues.

Hello, I can't help you with your original question although in a pinch I have a full basement apartment in MD available for short term stay until you find something permanent. I was actually interested because this is a recent post and you're asking about housing near usuhs. Did you recently get accepted? I did. Just patiently waiting for the next step.

Welp, this is was forever ago, but I just received my commission as a 1st LT in the USAF reserve! It was a 2yr long process and no, didn't get any dough, but the extra cash will help my pay my $1000/mo student loan payment!

First of all, congrats! I just commissioned as well, but won't know my RCOT/COT date until I start drilling. Personally I'm preparing to fully pass my PT test and stay under weight standards because I anticipate ht/wt and testing as soon as I get there (I'm thinking in November). In fact, the COT website says a baseline test will be administered within 3 days of arrival. As a prior service Army reserve member and spouse of an active duty Navy member, I know "weigh-ins" are part of the testing process. Active duty it's usually the week before. In my Army days, I always had to get taped b/c I didn't meet weight. In the Air Force, the body fat % is 32 for my category (34F). Just practice your push ups (my nemesis), sit ups and run and you'll be fine!

Wha?!

google "ej insertion competency" the first result will return Pomona hospitals p&p posted by ena

Only Dr. in our er

Yep, boob iv. It was literally the only access on one of my pts.

In the beginning i threw 18's in everybody! In the words of my preceptor, "no need to be mean and inflict unnecessary pain. We can give blood with a 22 of we had to." 20 is my go to for reg peripheral unless my PT is unstable, then the 18's.

Amen. Nurseonamotorcycle

I'm a new grad starting in the ER I precepted in too! Coband, lots of coband...and tape.

Wow petalicious, a respectable amount of very busy ER nurses took time out of their day to help you by writing very detailed responses to your very lengthy survey and and you didn't even bother to acknowledge their effort. Shame on you . To all of those that did contribute, Thank You and your participation was appreciated at least by me! :yelclap:

Yes, I did read the whole way through . Wonderful message, thank you!

I haven't heard anything,but I got accepted into USD and already put my deposit down there, so....

how's ucla?

wowwwwww, ewwwwww!

Oh wow, Thanks!

I'm a prior service Army reserve enlistee, currently an active duty Navy spouse that just got accepted into the Master's entry program at Universtiy of San Diego! My program is going to be expensive, and I always assumed I'd just "sell my soul" to Uncle Sam again to help pay my student loans because it wasn't so bad the first time around. Now I'm hearing it's hard to even go into the military now and I'm thinking maybe I'll just wait to see if I can just work at an "underserved" hospital on the civilian side for 2 years instead of committing myself to 6 years as two active duty parents (we have a 7 & 4 year old). Two questions: 1) How long does the NCP programs process take? Should I start applying now or closer to graduation (May 2013)? 2) Should I just forget the military altogether and just let my hubby finish up his 20? P.S. This program is the CNL track and I do plan on going back for my NP post masters certificate (two semesters) I know the military will help me with this schooling. Agghhhhhh, decisions, decisions...

Wish I could give a bizillion kudos on your handling of that situation. I've got to remember that!
