hello everyone, got a question. when applying for the 2012 nurse corp selection boards, are all the applicants all over the country competing with eachother or do you compete with just your region? i was told there were only 22 slots and if we are c...

everyone, just wanted to give everyone a heads up that I was a non select. my recruiter didnt have a reason why. just sucks that this is my second rejection. maybe this just isnt meant in the cards for me and my family. I truly believe that every thi...

hey everyone, I was just getting on here to let you know that results are starting to get posted. I have not heard anything yet but this guy that was in my class at school just got a call and he was a select and will be stationed at lackland in texas...

hey jilly, it is really hard to say what happened. when mine got sent back in november, my recruiter told me that just "a bunch" got sent back because there were too many applicants and to apply them to the next board. I think he told me there were 1...

hey jilly, yeah, hopefully only some were sent back. I texted my recruiter but he hasnt gotten back with me yet. I am really hoping too that just some of your recruiters got sent back like mine then but then again why would they have another board ju...

hey everyone, I tried to contact my recruiter and as soon as I find out something then I will let everyone know what I hear. hopefully it is not the same but if he doesnt say the same thing then I will be really confused. My excitement just went from...

jillyRN, are you freaking serious? I had to go throught this-this past november in regards to my packet being sent back with other packets, now my packet is being sent back again? my recruiter has not contacted me about my packet being sent back agai...

brownjkAF, so, you are prior service and still was a non select before? wow, now I am more confused about what the selection board is looking for!!!

hey mamakellyd, I cant remember, are you applying to be in the guard? I have never heard of doing an interview first and then starting the whole process. I am glad your interview went so well. I hope you have better luck than I did. My interview last...

psycheab, yeah, if I were you, I would contact another recruiter. This may be a dumb question, but are you sure you contacted the right recruiter? either way, someone should have gotten back with you. are you from cincinnati by chance?

brownjkAF, I was fully qualified when I applied last february and had been a nurse for almost 4 years but I was still finishing up my bachelors degree and was scheduled to graduate until that august. my recruiter seems to think I didnt get picked up...

hey everyone, i have thought about contacting my recruiter but havent yet. LOL. I am hoping too that we hear something next friday and not have to wait any longer than that. like others, i have been throught this wait before. for some reason, i am no...

hey mamakellyd, here are some things i was asked. 1. why do you want to join 2. do you know what the air force mission is and what it means to you 3. what are your future goals 4. how do you feel about deployment 5. describe a patient experience that...

hey everyone, I havent heard anything new from my recruiter so i assume the results are still around the 8th. I am applying for a med surg slot as well. when I had applied to the february boards last year, i didnt get a call until about a week after ...

hey jilly, I have not bugged my recruiter either. would they by chance notify us if they did delay the board meeting? hopefully these next few weeks fly by as well. Good luck to everyone waiting:)

hey rayRn87, I am applying for a medsurg slot and waiting results. my recruiter told me from the get go that since I was a nurse for 4 years then i would go in as a 1st lt and I signed up for a 6 year committment so they could pay my college loans of...

hey dreaming1007, I am glad to hear that someone likes the AF. I definitely am not going to base my decision on what someone else says but it is assuring to hear that you have had no regrets. since you have been in the AF before, you should have no p...

hey dreaming1007, hi, were you doing a different job in the AF before becoming a nurse? how has your experience been in the AF? hopefully not like the one that mobostark is having. it really sucks to hear that but I cant imagine that every base is l...

hey mobostark, I am sorry you and your coworkers are having such a hard time where you are. what is a "flagship hospital"? do you think that it is like this at every base hospital or just maybe the one that your at? I am currently waiting on board r...

hey jilly, yeah im not getting my hopes up for early march either. I just had to go to my recruiters office this morning because my packet was already sent down to texas but they found some slip ups where forms said 2012 instead of 2013 so i had to c...

ljv84, this might be silly, but I wonder how hard the academic tests are in cot. i am a horrible test taker. from what i have heard, you cant fail COT nor has anyone failed COT. it seems intimidating. i think the fear of the unknown is what can drive...

ljv84, thanks for all of the great information. that sucks that you didnt get anything on your wish list of places to be stationed. I hope that if I am selected that I at least get one of my picks but as long as I get in thats all that matters. talk ...

hey ljv84, yeah, I too am interested in knowing what COT is like. what kind of exercises do they do, what kinds of class work briefings, presentations etc. overall, is it really hard is pretty easy? thanks for the info.

hey jilly, oh yeah, I forgot to mention PT. LOL. ya know, its so hard to plan and try to think what would be good enough for COT. I have always done a little bit of everything. I HATE running but I do it anyways (with my IPOD especially) cause doing...

hey jilly, thats awesome!!! I have to agree with you on the AF. everythings just seems nicer as far as housing, stations, education etc. ya know, I cannot honestly say that joining the military has always been a dream of mine. I have always had an in...
