OTS is Officer Training School, line officers go to OTS. Nurses go to COT. So, that is definitely not the list :) I have yet to hear from my recruiter....this waiting is terrible! Tuesday can not come soon enough!
My recruiter just e-mailed me this!!! "The shutdown has had no effect on AD military so it is still business as usual. The board started on the first and results were estimated to be released on the 21st, but the program manager sent an email yesterd...
I am hoping to go in May, but of course I'll take what I can get. I want my husband to be able to finish up his semester of school. I don't know if you can prepare for the ropes course if you're afraid of heights...Would exposing yourself to similar...
I don't know much about preparing for COT, but there were some things I wish I would have known when I went to Air Force basic training years ago. Knowing the rank system is a definite need to know. For example, a Staff Sergeant is an E-5 and learn t...
That's great Dreaming1007. You'll get good experience there. You're NTP, right?? Will you do that there also or go somewhere else? I always liked Texas! I went to Lackland on a TDY and it was so strange and also funny to see all the BMT squadrons out...
Submitting my base preference list the other day is what actually made this whole process feel real for me. Of course I know I'm applying to be in the Air Force nurse corps, but it was just like wow, I might actually be at one of these places in the ...
Congratulations Dreaming 1007! Wow, and prior service SF. I bet it feels amazing to know you're going back in and getting to wear the uniform again. What a relief to know that you're selected and no longer in limbo :) Did you get a COT date and base ...
Thank you EllTee2B! :) Maybe I'll 'B an Ell Tee' next year! I sure am hopeful. Now I'm just playing the waiting game until October 21st. I believe that's when results will be released for the next fully qualified clinical nurse board. 2 months...ahh....
Did any of you NTP applicants from the July board find out if you've been selected or not? I was told the results came back earlier than anticipated. I believe the recruiters got word earlier this week.
Chief nurse interview went well yesterday. The total interview time was about 1 hour. Here's some background about me. Most of my questions were based off this. I'm applying for FQ clinical nurse. I'm 29 years old and have 4 years med surg experienc...
EllTee2B, I didn't understand your screen name until I typed it out! That's cute. Yeah, I'm curious to see how this selection goes as well. I don't know how big the prior service card is. Were you in the Air Force? What was your job?
I've gotten 1 LOR back so far. I'm kind of in a panic for the other 2. I had fantasic evaluations from an 0-5 Air Force NP and an E-8 Air Force Medic. Now I'm just trying to get them to write an LOR. They're stationed in different areas than I curre...
I'm so frustrated with getting these recommendation letters. I got about 10 evaluations previously and had months to do it. Now I'm rushing to try and get a few of the same people to type a recommendation letter in the next couple weeks. I honestly f...
This seems to be a popular question. I found this answer to be most helpful. The best answer was answered by someone who was a recruiter and also worked at MEPS. Sounds as if some ACL tears make it in. The best thing you can do is speak with a recrui...
I am applying for FQ Clinic nurse. All info I'm giving is in regards to this position. Just met with my recruiter. He said that all alternates must reapply if they wish to, that goes for NTP also. Applications must be completed and submitted by 2 Se...
jfratian, Sorry to hear you have to reapply. There still is that chance you'll go in August. ffemt said that they have called up some alternates already. If you're #3, you may be next on the list. I'm meeting with my recruiter tomorrow. Hopefully he ...

Carolinapooh, Do you have any advice for the chief nurse interview? That's pretty much all I have left to do for my application to be board ready. Also, any advice you have to offer on a dream sheet would be appreciated. So, I'm a FQ clinical nurse ...

I just went to MEPS 2 days ago. We started at 5:45 am, so try to get some sleep the night before. I was put up in a hotel nearby so I could get there on time. We started with the vision test and the hearing test. Bring glasses and contacts with you. ...
Thank you for your reply, jfratian. I'm glad to hear it wasn't a clinical scenerio or a trivia session. I always get nervous over interviews. I hate the ones where they ask you to tell them about a time you "saved the world." I am not quick with resp...
I will be having my chief nurse interview pretty soon. Anyone have an advice for the interview? I was given the "new accession interview packet" which has some sample questions and what they score you on. Is there anything else that you all think mig...

Carolinapooh, Did you go into the AF as fully qualified clinical nurse? I'm applying for the next board coming up in October. I'm hoping that being prior enlisted AF will give me an advantage. Do you think being prior enlisted helped you? I'm 29 year...
