    Unmotivated recruiter???

    carolinapooh replied to traumaowl's topic in Government, Military

    I went to COT with a single mother with three kids. They're down here at Lackland now. I also know a single mom with FIVE KIDS who just graduated from the last COT class (I know she exists because my...

    US Air Force COT 10-06

    carolinapooh replied to luvbug080688's topic in Government, Military

    PT is literally first thing in the morning at 0500, and you're back inside by 0630. So even with the sun coming up so early you won't be in it for long. As far as I know, every training base has "flag...

    Navy Nurse Candidate Program

    carolinapooh replied to rockytopRN2b's topic in Government, Military

    YOU AREN'T KIDDING!!! I used to pay $300 a month for CRAPPY health care coverage through my employer. That's a good deal and I'm glad to see they offer that now. Thanks for pointing that

    carolinapooh replied to dallet6's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Sometime universities only offer certain classes in certain semesters, or require you to take classes in a certain order. This can slow down the process somewhat. It could be that your chosen school...

    Do Day Nurses Really Feel that Night Nurses Do Nothing All Night?

    carolinapooh replied to Brita01's topic in General Nursing

    I've worked both shifts at two different facilities, and I'll say this - I'd rather have seven patients on a night shift than five on a day shift (and believe me, I've done both - on an oncology and a...

    Interview wear - summer version?

    carolinapooh replied to lei7's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Yes, but if you'd be more likely to wear the pants at some other point, then you're making an investment. A sleeveless dress for someone like me would be a waste of

    Navy Nurse Candidate Program

    carolinapooh replied to rockytopRN2b's topic in Government, Military

    Reservists only get health care when they're actually on paid status. So your one weekend a month/two weeks a year, or on your deployment/whenever you're on orders, you're covered by Tricare - but not...

    Starting BSN program. Navy and Air Force Reserve questions

    carolinapooh replied to tkuypers's topic in Government, Military

    Be sure you talk to a Navy Health Professions Recruiter, not just an officer recruiter. Even when I was thinking about Navy Reserves I had to call a Reservist Health Professions Recruiter

    Nurse Enlisted Commissioning Program USAF

    carolinapooh replied to zx7chelle's topic in Government, Military

    It makes no sense that they're making current enlisteds take the AFOQT when the officers going to COT as direct commissions don't even take an ASVAB-like test. No one takes that - that test has...

    Navy vs Air Force: Does the navy have a NTP?

    carolinapooh replied to jkaylene21's topic in Government, Military

    No, if you go Active Duty you'll be sent to NTP and can get that experience up front. With any employer, not working full time as an RN is going to make it extremely difficult to "get experience". You...

    Entering Army or Air Force as a Nurse Officer

    carolinapooh replied to Jennifer22's topic in Government, Military

    Also, keep in mind there's not really anyone on here (as far as I'm aware) who can actually compare the two branches for you - as nice as that would be - we all belong to one or the other and can...

    None of those are acceptable per reg. The only place I've ever seen the sage green Under Armour socks that are acceptable per AF reg is military clothing sales on base, where they're $6 or $7 a pair...

    Air Force Nurse Corps

    carolinapooh replied to SoldierNurse22's topic in Government, Military

    Then your situation is a bit different - but it STILL makes no sense because the rules for PCSing an LT are different than those for an enlisted member. Maybe our Army folks can help you sort this...

    Instructor won't keep hands to self

    carolinapooh replied to elle27's topic in General Students

    So a woman - a GROWN WOMAN - should TOLERATE letting another GROWN WOMAN pat her on the BEHIND? Give me a break. Patting a woman on the behind ISN'T therapeutic. It's harassment. It's also illegal -...

    I salute the OP for doing it. Letting this instructor continue her harassment - because that's what it is, harassment, pure and simple - feeds the problem. These people in her class are ADULTS, not...
