Congrats JillyRN!!!!!! Just now seeing this! Wonderful news....very excited for you :-)

Sg219, Roger that. Did your recruiter say anything about when more info might be released for us alternates??? Good to know of others in my position. Are going in as med/surg FQ or NTP?? Thanks for getting back to the thread :-)

I guess I am confused. I am an alternate for crit care and have never heard anything about not being selected as an alternate.?.?.. I have talked at length with my recruiter, never once did she mention not getting in as an alternate, on the contrary ...

Has anyone heard any updates??? :-)

Jillyrn, you are still pretty young with lots of options, I would say contact another recruiter, it didn't sound like a super positive experence! Hoping that whatever you decide it all works out Is anyone else on this board a Crit Care alternate?? J...

I am pretty sure it's Oct 2013, they will release the dates for COT for the new fiscal year mid summer. I would say for us alternates, we should plan on heading to COT in the begining to mid Oct. It only makes sense that those already selected, those...

Hey Kdazzle, I am sorry to hear that, chin up though, you're right everything does happen for a reason! This may not be your time but I bet something awesome is in the cards :-) JillyRN, That just seems so weird?!? Doesn't make any sense...Are you s...

Hey ffemt, I too am a CTICU nurse, but with only a little over a year experience. Pretty much same credentials and a 3.5 Overall gpa. Not sure how long the alternate list waits but hoping not that long ugh haha good luck to you and congrats :-) maybe...

Congrats!! You Must feel relieved :-) Jillyrn...let us know tomorrow what you find out. I feel like we are all hearing some different things. Hoping we get some more good news :-)

Hi guys, I guess so. I'm not sure how long ill have to wait but I'm really hoping not to long, I'm so impatient haha My recruiter said hope for some time soon but expect some time after September. Since I'm in the guard I'm gonna try to head to COT s...

Hi guys, I just heard from my recruiter...they took 1 crit care nurse, and I'm alternate #4!! So I'm in but now I just wait. It's not a non-select!! Hoping you guys hear soon big hugs to you all!!

I too am applying for a crit care spot, and no one has contacted my references either. I wasn't under the impression they would though....good luck to you!!!

oh what a bummer but you are right, it's not a non-select so that is great...another month does stink but it's just a couple of weeks away...my fingers are double crossed for all the clinical nurses applying...I am freaking out more now...nothing se...

JillyRN, I would just call them! It stinks they didn't let you know. I have been the one bugging my recruiter though, poor thing is probably hoping I get in so I leave her alone haha I'm just so darn anxious!!

Great article! Thanks for sharing :-)

Mammkellyd, So happy the interview went well! I would just get in touch the with the recruiter and get the ball rolling. The guard is different than active in the the sense that once you meet with the unit and they want you, you are all set. There is...

I spoke with my recruiter yesterday...got some info and we should most likely hear right around if not on March 8th...I think they have made thier decisions...Pretty much just sitting here freaking out haha :-) Hope you guys are staying busy, this ne...

Well that's good to hear! :)

Not till after March 8th I think :-( This waiting is horrible!! I think most are med/surg and I am crit care. Good luck to you!!

I haven't bugged mine either. No news is good news right?!?!? Well until March :-) hoping and praying. Fingers crossed!!!

Mamakellyd, The interview process for Air Guard and Active duty can be very different. For example, I did not have to complete the 9 questions, my interview was very laid back with the Cheif Nurse and my recruiter. I brought my husband along to meet ...

I feel like this is worse than the NCLEX :-)

Results in a month...ugggghhhh.....

Anyone aware of how many critical care slots are open for this board???

MBRN74, You can go active duty from guard, it's a process, but it can be done. Switching from ANG to Active isn't easier. I am a critical care nurse in the Guard as well, so that had no bearing. Getting into the Guard can be harder than active in th...
