   hey psycheab, Just curious, are you currently in a hospital over there as a nurse. I wanted to go work overseas but didn't want that to affect applying to the military. Your case is a bit different as you have an active duty husband. Please l...

   MBRN74 replied to JillyRN's topic in Government

   Hey Zacheus81, I'm curious to know as to why you weren't gettiing anywhere with the active duty side? I say if you want active to keep pressing forward. Especially if you are younger and have time. As far as reserve time it depends on what sort of...

   MBRN74 replied to JillyRN's topic in Government

   Hey, I had been in acutes as well. From my experience they like to have more bedside experience. Although, if you show on your resume how you use all your nursing skills while in acutes it's a benefit to you. If you have further questions feel fr...

   Hello zacheus81, Are you currently in ICU or CCU? For flight nurse they like for you to have at least 6 months in that field. It could be different now but the last time i checked that's what they were looking for. Have you spoken to a recruiter? ...

   MBRN74 replied to JillyRN's topic in Government

   Hello, I'm not sure why your recruiter wouldn't be able to tell you about time in grade. If i'm not mistaken they take your time and do some calculation (generally split your tiime in half or something like you get 6 months for every one year) and t...

   MBRN74 replied to JillyRN's topic in Government

   Hey Carlily, I didn't know you could go from the ANG to active duty AF? Is it because you switched over to a CCU specialty and that is one of their needs? Let me know about that? If it's easier to get picked up by ANG and then switch over, well, t...

   MBRN74 replied to mz_tonep's topic in LPN/LVN

   Just a little input. If you aren't sure of nursing then trying a job as a cna or patient care partner will be good for you. That's what i did. I started very young as a patient care tech in dialysis. They will hire you without experience. I also...

    To Stephers85, If you aren't getting a response in your area then call another state to start working with someone and explain that you aren't getting anyone where you are. But keep calling, be persistent. It would be helpful to start applying for ...

    PolarBear, I have heard of the Nurse Candidate program but I really dont know much about it. It's a good thing you are applying already. How far along are you in school? That may make a difference. I'm pretty sure slots fill up fast. I encourage...

    Hi PolarBear, I will try to answer some of your questions. I commend you for seeking information. I would say the best thing to do is talk to a recruiter. A lot of nurses are trying to enter into the military these days. One thing you want to de...
