    Learned this the hard way in a patient's room after I had been told in nsg school by an older nurse to dilute everything!! So glad the valium crystalized on me right away and I was like uhhh that...

  2. Air Force NTP Boards July 2013

    AFhopeful replied to Blackhawks's topic in Government, Military

    That also depends on when you will be taking the NCLEX. I graduated Dec 2012, took NCLEX Jan 15, comissioned Jan 31 and went to COT in march. I had to commission before Feb 1st or they were going to...

  3. Newly commissioned Air Force officer- should I take Med-Surg Certification now?

    AFhopeful replied to air4z's topic in Government, Military

    It probably won't hurt you and will definitely help in the long run. Promotions to Major/Lt. Col rely heavily on advancing education and gaining certifications. I don't believe you have to take the...

    AFhopeful replied to air4z's topic in Government, Military

    You get something called an Incentive Specialty Pay, it binds you into the specialty for a certain amount of time though. Say you wanted to join the Air Force and then transfer into the ER. You...

    AFhopeful replied to futureafnurse2013's topic in Government, Military

    The Air Force has the nurse transition program for new graduate nurses, and when searched on this board, there is a lot of good information that comes up. I am not sure for MEPS, but you are...

    AFhopeful replied to miniemt27's topic in Government, Military

    You can but it would take 2-4 years to be eligible apply for the fellowship, and they are apparently very competitive right

  7. Thinking about joining the Air Force

    AFhopeful replied to miniemt27's topic in Government, Military

    There are two ways of joining the Nurse Corps as a direct accession. You can join Fully Qualified (1 year+ experience) or as a New Graduate. If you join as a new graduate you will be placed in the...

  8. Experienced ICU RN in level 1 trauma hospital. Thinking about joining the Airforce

    AFhopeful replied to kandace168's topic in Government, Military

    You'll need a health professions recruiter, not an enlisted recruiter. Health profession recruiters will know what the Air Force needs, when the boards will be, and how to put together your...

  9. Air Force ROTC nursing student

    AFhopeful replied to brawneyez's topic in Government, Military

    It could be. I know they weren't going to send anyone stationed at lackland to the Sammc location anymore, but maybe they aren't running a course there due to the decreased number of new graduates...

  10. Air Force ROTC nursing student

    AFhopeful replied to brawneyez's topic in Government, Military

    I'm sorry I don't know that. I would guess you would know well enough ahead of time to make arrangements though. She knew her first duty station when she found out her NTP date. I'd say keep working...

    AFhopeful replied to brawneyez's topic in Government, Military

    From what I know is you commission as soon as you have fulfilled all the requirements to (graduated/licensed/ROTC obligations). The ROTC nurses here in NTP graduated in December and commissioned in...

    AFhopeful replied to brawneyez's topic in Government, Military

    I found out the duty station I would be at when I was accepted into the Air Force. At NTP We do 12 hour shifts and shorter shifts depending on the area we are in. As a new grad you are limited to...

    AFhopeful replied to brawneyez's topic in Government, Military

    Hi! I'm currently in the Cincinnati NTP and it's a lot of fun. We have a few ROTC grads here and from what I've been told none of them received the bonus, but they were on scholarship. They send new...

  16. Airforce or Navy

    AFhopeful replied to NoKoward's topic in Government, Military

    I am currently in NTP and at the cincinnati location. It's great! They train CCATT (critical care air transport team) here and we were able to actually go up in a C130 with them a few weeks ago....

  17. FY 2014 Air Force Nursing

    AFhopeful replied to SG219's topic in Government, Military

    I wouldn't make too many big changes yet. I don't know how they do it for fully qualified nurses, but the alternates (even alt #1) haven't been selected from the July 2012 NTP

  21. Air Force Nursing 2013

    AFhopeful replied to JillyRN's topic in Government, Military

    I was actually picked up for the NTP boards they held in July. I'm from Arizona, but I'll most likely be commissioning in South Carolina. I've heard I can't commission until after I graduate in...

    AFhopeful replied to JillyRN's topic in Government, Military

    I can attest for what Kdazzle stated. I did the exact same thing for my interview. I wore a nice skirt with a white blouse and hose. I think a lot of women forget to wear hose to interviews, and for...
