aferg002 BSN, EMT-P

I appreciate it. And I don't understand why the process has to be like this if it were standardized. Im glad that you were able to get in. I just have a jaded view on things. I remain hopeful but have no expectations. I am going to call my recruiter ...

Hello, I like to say thank you for everyone who helped me on here to where Im at now. I've talked to my healthcare recruiter, got my job AFSC 46N3J Emergency/trauma nurse, and I just passed MEPS. I now have interviews and just getting ready bef...

So.........I’m not going. After completing MEPS in October, and going through 4 healthcare recruiters, somehow I was not able to get an interview with anyone. im pretty pissed off on how it was handled. I did everything they asked...

So, I passed MEPS in end of Oct. My interviews (nursing chief interview and consultant interview) have been pushed back 2x already (from Nov, then Dec, and now the last thing the recruiters told me was that its going to be in January for the Feb boar...

yeah, theres now boards on feb 15 now. I passed MEPS in October, and I have to wait till February now

Thats crazy that you did that. Sounds like you by passed the recruiter to schedule your own interviews. Thats great, it makes me think about being more proactive with all my new recruiters and all. It's been 2 weeks since a recruiter told me anything...

Glad to know that im in good company. I was supposed to get in the October boards too, but I guess my MEPS was too close to it. But now with the changing of my recruiters again, Im not sure where Im at. I heard the clinical interview is pretty in dep...

Youre right, my AFSC is a 46N3J (ER/Trauma). I was told I was going to have a chief nurse interview, then a consultant interview, and then the boards. But Im still waiting on word of getting just one interview at all. It's been already over a month n...

Yeah its pretty frustrating. I haven't heard of any progress or updates for the past 3 weeks. But like you said its most likely because of covid and the holidays which is understandable. But I was supposed to get an interview in mid November, so its ...

Oh wow nice. I had my MEPS at the end of October. Thats great that you had your interview a few weeks afterwards. I am just worried because I have my application all finished (paperwork uploaded and received) but its now December and I have no word a...

How long after MEPS did everyone get an interview? I passed MEPS in October, and I feel that my application has just stalled since then. The last time my recruiter said was that he was going to apply for interviews and all. So I was wondering how lon...

How were the interviews, consultants and board? I passed MEPS almost a month ago, and my recruiter is now saying that he will send some emails to get me scheduled for interviews and consultants. No time frame. Also, he mentioned that the board interv...

As much as we are excited, we do have to give our recruiters a break. They are not just working with us 24/7. Like everyone else, we are just one of the many people the work with and then move on. So its good to stay on top, but lets not hound them t...

Thank you so much for the input, I appreciate the introduction to San Antonio and the warning about Keesler!

sounds like that was an experience none the less. Im sure when you did go to work, it was more meaningful since you are more connected with whats happening

I see, so the luck of the draw I guess. How was that deployment? And yes, my hospital has been getting some nurses from Travis AFB for a time too.

I see. No one told me that. But good to know. Thank you.

Thank you for the SOST information. I looked them up on Youtube and their website, but your insights were much more helpful. That is something definitely to consider if I think about another assignment. And I see about the GST or m-FAST. If tho...

Thank you for the information about CCATT and GST. I tried looking up information about them, and I see a lot more of CCATT than GST. When I asked my recruiter, he never heard of GST, but of SOSTs.

Ah I see. Noted. From their website and Youtube, it looked like a pretty new and nice base, but, I can see how the medical side can be lacking, and take years to improve and update. Thank you for that info and update about it. If you were to do it ag...

Yes, San Antonio, thank you, JB SAMMC, from what is on the list they gave me. One of my mentors mentioned that its a really good place. Im actually in CA, and went to Travis before, I heard it has a great CCAT program there. I was also interested in ...

Good to know. Thank you for that. I had no idea. I guess I just had an over idealist view of things. Would you think Sam Huston would be a great duty station to start out at for their ER trauma nursing? Or does it really not matter? Because as you me...

Im in the process, and the next board they are looking to is January 2021. I was set up for October, but my application and MEPS was pushed passed October. Wish you the best

Hey, I sent off my resume, LOR, transcripts. I'm working on getting myself physically ready for the PFTs. From what you were mentioning with interviewing with the Chief Nursing Officer and all...that is what I got from the recruiter so far as well.

Hello, and thank you for reading. Bio. 29 male graduating in 12/2017 with a BSN RN. Previous history: EMT > Paramedic > nursing school. I'm pretty comfortable with what I know which is trauma and emergency medicine. And I love it. I've always ...
