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...

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...

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? ...

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...

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...

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...

Thanks pamelarn06. I know i have been told several different things. I was told that they start looking at packets during september and would possibly meet at the end of last week of september. But again, i also heard numbers come out october 1 an...

To Sailorwifey, Did they happen to mention to you when exactly the first board is? Or does anyone out there know? I was told end of september? What type of unit are you working on? Are you applying for a med/surg nurse or some other specialty? Ho...

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 ...

Hey staugnurse, I'm 38 and this is second time applying due to it filling up so quick last year and packet didn't make it in in time. What extra stuff did you have done since you are 40. Have you recently started nursing or have been doing for a lo...

Hello BabyRN05, Hope all is well. Thanks for your post . I am a potential and have been an RN for quite some time. I would like to get more info from you and your experience. I was trying to PM you but for some reason It won't let me. Thank you...

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...

I know apparently after you are cleared and scrolled and they get "the call' then I think they have seven days to do it. Which i didn't realize. But yeah you just got told so. Looks like Kadena is a nice place. I think it's just a clinic though!!...

I have been in a step down type unit. Well, just saying i need to be commissioned soon? What about you? Are you going to a clinic or a hospital? Do you know what you will be doing? Have you been commissioned already? I was surprised about tryin...

oaktown thanks for the info. i have been thru this once and will be keeping on top of it. I missed the boards last year and it was full within the first month, uuugghhh... Needless to say i'm not getting any younger soooo.... thank you

Oaktown, so does that mean you are still in school? Oh wow, congrats to you. Thank you so much. I'm really trying hard to get into critical care someplace as that's what their needs are. They said i need to get experience in that and then i can ap...

Hey Oaktown, thanks for answering. Naaahh....i just saw something on here about 38 and i wanted to clarify because I was told 42 as well. Thank you. Yes and it was for nurse corps that i was answering about. Thanks again. Are you in the Nurse C...

Hi ATL, I am coming in as a clinical nurse as well, i'm not sure designated as med/surg though? I need to ask about that. I have been a nurse over 14 years. Were you working in med/surg or what dept were you in? I'm not sure why i was told not t...

Hey, I thought the navy's cut off age is 42 as is for all the other branches???

Hello, Has anyone on here for Aug COT been commissioned yet?? Did your recruiter say you had to do it right away? Did everyone get at least one of the places they chose?

Hey MsRN2You, I live near Langley AFB. Pretty nice base. The people there are nice as well. It's not a big hospital. They have been doing some renovations but its fairly nice inside. Did you have this one on your list? I didn't get anything tha...

Hey everyone, Just found these postings. I was told to not even put down any overseas assignments. Trust me i wanted to!! I got picked up. Is everyone on here new nurses or have been practicing nurses? To ATLRN, are you a new nurse or you have ...

Hi navyman7, thanks for all the help you post on here. It takes time and a lot of thought with the many questions put forth. I really appreciate your diligent efforts. I spoke with a recruiter who says that the ECCO is not so important necessaril...
