  1. Anyone else still waiting for scroll?

    ArmyMedicRN replied to Spring624's topic in Government, Military

    Not yet, I'm doing the Oath of Office tomorrow. I heard from my recruiter that the delay this year is because this one guy who essentially takes care of all the AMEDD officers retired and left a...

  2. More dangerous: Navy or Army

    ArmyMedicRN replied to Chuckleface's topic in Government, Military

    The Army is the branch to join if you want to fight in a war. They are the branch that fights on land. Know that nurses aren't a combat arms job, but they do still have units that are deployed with...

    ArmyMedicRN replied to aj111991's topic in Government, Military

    Make sure you bring EVERY single medical document if you have anything in your medical history. If you wear glasses only sometimes, bring them. You will be weighed, be sure you don't exceed the Air...

    ArmyMedicRN replied to AntM24's topic in Government, Military

    Definitely get into shape now if you're seriously considering it. Make sure you don't have any medical disqualifications... If you do, get a doctor to clear you. If you have any medical diagnoses on...

  12. Army Active Duty FY18

    ArmyMedicRN replied to Traumasaurus's topic in Government, Military

    Pixie.RN, about what time at BOLC did you receive your PCS orders for your permanent duty station? I have a house and family to get ready for move, so I'm trying to plan everything

  13. Navy Nurse Depression Waiver

    ArmyMedicRN replied to guestjuly10's topic in Government, Military

    I see now that you said you have a letter of recommendation from your doctor, I must've missed that bullet earlier. Anyway, that is a good starting point and should suffice at least for now. As long...

  14. Navy Nurse Depression Waiver

    ArmyMedicRN replied to guestjuly10's topic in Government, Military

    Hello. Glad to hear you want to serve your country! Your circumstances are indeed an uphill battle, that's for sure. Before you even delve into the process of applying for Officership and this and...

  15. Army Active Duty FY18

    ArmyMedicRN replied to Traumasaurus's topic in Government, Military

    It's through the Congress.gov website, but I wouldn't be surprised if they don't upload the forms that timely. Your recruiter will probably get the status much quicker than that, but you can always...

  16. Army Active Duty FY18

    ArmyMedicRN replied to Traumasaurus's topic in Government, Military

    I heard the OPAT is a joke, and the standards and grading sheet are available online for anyone to see. Almost every single Officer position requires a score just barely above failing, otherwise...

  17. Army Active Duty FY18

    ArmyMedicRN replied to Traumasaurus's topic in Government, Military

    Ok, I'll try to answer the best I can. I may not be the best source for Officer specific questions as my experience is from years previous as Enlisted, but I have a fairly good idea of how the Army...

  18. Which reserves branch is least likely to go active?

    ArmyMedicRN replied to icejog's topic in Government, Military

    There's this inherent flaw in the thinking of the "part time" Soldier. The problem is that there is no such thing as a part time Soldier! I know that may be what you thought of when you joined the...

  19. Nurse Corps Options

    ArmyMedicRN replied to RnRnurse's topic in Government, Military

    Don't automatically disregard Army, they have the largest force and the most posts of any service, so if you're trying to play the odds, you have the greatest chance in the Army. With that being said,...

  20. Army Active Duty FY18

    ArmyMedicRN replied to Traumasaurus's topic in Government, Military

    As far as BOLC is concerned, it will be in San Antonio, TX for all of AMEDD. The classes start at specific dates and must align with your Oath date, orders for DCC, which you will take before BOLC,...

    ArmyMedicRN replied to Traumasaurus's topic in Government, Military

    I was selected for 66T back in the Oct boards, only 1 of 2 selected, and I am also still waiting to be scrolled. That term basically means that you have to be sent through the SECDEF to be approved,...

  22. Nurses Condemn Illinois Governor’s Anti-Worker Executive Order

    ArmyMedicRN replied to herring_RN's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    No respect for unions. "We know how to win"??? What kind of crap is that. Always know how to manipulate an argument.."patient safety." Go away and good riddance. Our patients are way more safe than...

  23. New RN here

    ArmyMedicRN posted a topic in Men in Nursing

    Greetings, Just recently graduated with a BSN and even more recently passed the NCLEX. Previous Army medic (name gives it away I suppose)--and just recently finished my eight years with them. Now, job...

    ArmyMedicRN posted a topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Have any tall males, over 6'5", had any luck with any off-the rack scrubs? Or maybe found somewhere to buy custom scrubs that are quality? I found Aviator scrubs, but their website seems to only have...
