  1. AF April/May 2012 FQ Board

    rndiver82 replied to ERMags's topic in Government, Military

    I think any form of communication should at this point. I'm going to see my recruiter in the morning to give him my updated TNCC card with CEU certificate to see if we can get that faxed to the board...

  4. AF April/May 2012 FQ Board

    rndiver82 replied to ERMags's topic in Government, Military

    The way I understand the alternate process is, if selected as an alternate, should someone not be able to go to COT, you get their spot. Otherwise, it's like a glorified waiting list for FY2013. As an...

  5. Selection board 2012 for air force

    rndiver82 replied to kdazzle's topic in Government, Military

    Once the packets are submitted, the last board I was considered for we found out about 3 weeks later, depending on your recruiter. Now as far as only one board, there are different boards for the...

  6. Scrubs in the Emergency Department

    rndiver82 replied to Krystall's topic in Emergency

    I work peds trauma and we get to wear "kid friendly" t-shirts and solid colored scrub pants in any style we like. So yes, I rock a Fraggle Rock, old school McDonalds or any other tshirt I can. We even...

  7. AF April/May 2012 FQ Board

    rndiver82 replied to ERMags's topic in Government, Military

    I hear you on the distance vs speed running. I did a half-marathon on April 15th and finished at 3:09:34. I didn't care about the time, I was just thankful I finished because I got horrific bilateral...

  8. Navy Nursing?

    rndiver82 replied to danil133's topic in Government, Military

    rndiver82 replied to ERMags's topic in Government, Military

    Yeah, I didn't get any guidance, but at least now I know that I'm not the only one scratching my head! I wasn't asked to interview again, the when the CNO heard I hadn't been selected she was a little...

    rndiver82 replied to Laurenslovely's topic in Emergency

    I can't answer the NYC question, however I have been an ER nurse for the last 7 years and started right out of nursing school. Back then, you couldn't take ACLS/PALS until you actually passed your...

  11. AF April/May 2012 FQ Board

    rndiver82 replied to ERMags's topic in Government, Military

    You know, it is so nice hearing that someone else's recruiter was just as confused by out last board as mine was. Confused and really ticked off because of the seemingly random nature of it. I was...

    rndiver82 replied to rndiver82's topic in Government, Military

    rndiver82 replied to rndiver82's topic in Government, Military

    Thanks guys. The hubby and I are praying I get it. I still really want to come in, not just because of the benefits (the likes of which I will never see in the civilian world), but because I want to...

    rndiver82 replied to LFTBICU's topic in Burn

    rndiver82 replied to srhancock's topic in Government, Military

  22. Giving narcotics to patients with no ride

    rndiver82 replied to alimill's topic in Emergency

    If the patient had no ride, we would not give narcotics. The liability is just too high. We would give the patient anti-emetics and make sure those were working then give them a script for pain meds...

  24. Air Force Waivers

    rndiver82 replied to docteri's topic in Government, Military

    I had a financial waiver but that was approved. I'm not worried about the GPA, but I wouldn't be surprised about that restriction. Like others have mentioned, with the downsizing they are getting...
