Hello everyone, I'd like to get some international travel nursing experience under my belt and what a better place to consider than Aus/NZ, right? So besides that, I am wondering the practicality of all of this. I'll have 3 years of ICU and 1 year of...

Hello all, So my original career plan was to make a big move to Australia next year and work there for 1 year, but I just realized I could stay in my own country and do some travel nursing here! My main concern though is if travel nursing has a salar...

I received a phone call for an interview for the ICU/CCU at The Regional Medical Center in Orangeburg, SC. I am not from the area and don't know much about the hospital (besides the pt population and that its a rural hospital). I was wondering if any...

Hi there, An RN with a Bachelor's degree here and I am thinking of moving out of CA to where my brother lives in Virginia Beach. Being a new grad in CA has been absolute hell and I haven't found an acute care position for 2 years... Don't worry, I ha...

Hey SN2013, I turned it down because I was given a job offer in an ICU (my dream!) near my hometown, and some family events happened recently that require me to be nearby. If the AF had placed me at Travis, I would have probably gone the AF route. I ...

Hey all, just wanted to come on here and update you about my news. I got accepted, but unfortunately, I had to turn down the offer. I hope it goes to one of you great nurses instead!!! And I know that some of you are curious about the selection proce...

I didn't include OB, sorry. I don't really think about it. Last year they probably did end up accepting 40 med/surg, but when I was applying I was told they were taking 35. So maybe this year they might take a little more than they say!

Med-surg

SN2013 - I ended up as #9 on the waiting list! We were so close!!! mestrela - My recruiter told me they are accepting 30 this year, a little less than last year (which was 35 I believe). I think about 300 applications get in... Just a guess. My recru...

I volunteer yearly at a children's diabetes camp. We keep all of the medications and supplies in the infirmary (insulin, pump site change items, other meds). As for testing, every counselor has a testing kit and small sharps container (which is actua...

I applied as well. I applied last year and got on the alternate list... I'm hoping this year will be better. I got better and more letters of reference, updated my resume and added more details, and I hope the interview went well. The CN a Travis AFB...

Got mine as well... oh well. Been doin this for a while. Used to it.

Soooo, what did everyone think of the open house event? I went to the 8:30am one. It seemed like there was about 50 people in the morning event. So if it's the same for each, that means about 150 people came all together, but better than having all 2...

I am applying to this NTP board as well... I was an alternate from the last board and this time I hope to actually be a select. I am seriously stressing out over my resume now.

Thanks for the response! Ugh, here in CA I am still a new grad for acute care positions. I do understand that I am a little bit in a gray area... Anyways, some of the job postings say "1 year preferred", which I see that a lot in CA and here they re...

Welp, bad news, and news I thought would happen... they aren't rolling the alternates into NTP positions. We have to reapply. Good luck to everyone!

Just got off the phone with the recruiter... She said they have a tentative number to take 30 nurses for NTP. She hopes to hear back before August 16th (when the board meets), and I hope so too! She said they are still taking new NTP applicants, but...

HBaum, I think it might be best if you contact your recruiter... You're in a different situation than those of us with 0 experience. From what it sounds like is that you might have to wait a bit longer if you get that full 6mo of experience, as the ...

On another thread (Air Force Nursing 2013), another alternate posted this e-mail he got from his recruiter: Seems pretty rock solid... but I am always skeptical when things seem too good. Let's just keep crossing our fingers! I am supposed to hear ...

Hey there alternates! I know it has been a looooong time since anyone has commented on here, but I wanted to bring up the news about there not being a board this year for NTP and they are going to select from the alternates list! Has anyone else hear...

Unfortunately, no. I graduated two years ago in CA and I have been volunteering my license since... still no acute care job. Volunteering looks great on the resume though!

I would say to take the job you have lined up in NY. I currently live in SF and the only job I have been able to land is a school nurse job... and I am not a lazy job searcher. But I don't want to squash your dreams. If it is your absolute dream to b...

With 1 year of experience, you definitely have a leg up on most other applicants. I am one of those poor souls that has no hospital experience and I am trying everywhere. Currently, I am employed by Maxim and they have given me a school nurse job. Ma...

Sooooooo, a very late addition to this thread... My recruiter got a hold of me just to make sure that things are going good and if I've gotten a hospital job yet (still no). I then found out that I am #18 on the waiting list, woo! He said that when t...

My recruiter is apparently out of town... I've been waiting on this alternate number for a while now, ugh.
