    Care&Joy replied to smattles1of2's topic in Government, Military

  2. Medically disqualified

    Care&Joy replied to smattles1of2's topic in Government, Military

    So happy to hear it went great for you!!!! Yeah, they said they couldn't recommend any tests, so now I have to help a new civilian Dr I am seeing tomorrow "guess" what I need that will be good enough...

  3. Medically disqualified

    Care&Joy replied to smattles1of2's topic in Government, Military

    I hear ya'! It's especially frustrating since I had gone through the whole process & actually passed with my first MEPS Dr. & then this new pipsqueak comes in when I have to do my 2nd MEPS...

  4. Medically disqualified

    Care&Joy replied to smattles1of2's topic in Government, Military

    Gennaver, what, if I may ask, were your waivers for??? If it's not too personal, of course :). I'm just wondering because my recruiter's in the middle of getting the paperwork to waive an automatic...

  6. Army Nursing

    Care&Joy replied to ri07093's topic in Government, Military

    Thanks! My recruiter emailed this morning & is going to see if a doctor from another dept (Fort Bliss or the El Paso MEPS...I'm not sure) will be willing to take me for a physical instead &...

  7. Army Nursing

    Care&Joy replied to ri07093's topic in Government, Military

    Did that include having to get references from people all over again? That has always been the biggest pain in the tail for me. Getting people for refs is easy, but it's the actually following...

  8. security clearance interview

    Care&Joy replied to pattyrn376's topic in Government, Military

    Wow, such an example of bored, small-minded people in some of these tiny towns. Busy-bodies that love to get into people's business because they have nothing else to do & pick on the petty...

  9. ASN nursing in military

    Care&Joy replied to lwood336's topic in Government, Military

    Yes, that is EXACTLY what happened on my end AFTER my MEPS & entire packet was already put together.....pretty much sucked, ha. Yes, it has to be nationally accredited....as mine was California...

  10. Army Nursing

    Care&Joy replied to ri07093's topic in Government, Military

    Really? I will have to ask my recruiter about that, as they already know the plan is for me to go active after a year when the slots are open again....Does anybody know, if that's the case, if that is...

  11. Army Nursing

    Care&Joy replied to ri07093's topic in Government, Military

    Thanks! Yep! I was bummed that, once I finally made the decision to do active rather than reserves, I'd have to go Reserves (supposedly, we'll see) for now anyway until I can actually go Active. Whew!...

  12. Army Nursing Board

    Care&Joy replied to BrownBoiRN's topic in Government, Military

    I can't remember from your previous posts, but are you going reserves or active, Renee? I was supposed to go active, but by the time we finally got everything together for the second time (explained...

    Oh, good grief..I just wrote an entire paragraph & then my computer glitched & lost it...grrrrr.... Anyway, long time since I've been here on the forum! I have been waiting for 4+ years...

  14. How will my day and life routines go?

    Care&Joy posted a topic in Government, Military

    I posted in the sticky section, but thought it'd be easier to start a new thread :) Hello all, I'm planning on joining Army nursing after I'm done with my RN-BSN program this month. I've already done...

  15. How will my day and life routines go?

    Care&Joy replied to Care&Joy's topic in Government, Military

    Exactly. I was also wondering myself if we find out what assignment we're to get before OTC? During?

  16. How will my day and life routines go?

    Care&Joy replied to Care&Joy's topic in Government, Military

    Oh yes, I keep forgetting to ask....Once we join & are given our first assignment, how long do us nurses usually get kept there? One year? Two? Three? Months? I was just wondering how long the...

  17. what is army nursing really like?

    Care&Joy replied to 2soldiers44's topic in Government, Military

    You have a great background, 2soldiers44, & I'm jealous you can jump in w/ so much experience. I've only been a nurse since 2002 & still need CC experience. You know, you're always going to...

    Care&Joy posted a topic in Government, Military

    Hello, quick question...I'm hoping to be getting in Army Nursing by next year. I know as a single person, I was told we generally live off base, as families are the ones who generally live on base. So...

  19. Military living...RV or 5th Wheel Anyone?

    Care&Joy replied to Care&Joy's topic in Government, Military

    Yeah, I know it would drive some people nuts. I personally am trying to get rid of a lot of my "stuff" in life so that I can simplify better. I just get tired of moving & I love to travel. I was...

  20. How will my day and life routines go?

    Care&Joy replied to Care&Joy's topic in Government, Military

    So really, no matter what your experience, if it's less than a year, you'll be defaulted to the area you have the most experience in instead? Unless you're just thrown into any area they'll need you...

  21. How will my day and life routines go?

    Care&Joy replied to Care&Joy's topic in Government, Military

    So true, considering I work night shifts & our hospital provides us w/ free soda fountains & coffee/tea....the sodas have been killin' us. Late night eating is even harder during the night! I...
