    COT 10-04 nurse to 10-05

    carolinapooh replied to midinphx's topic in Government, Military

    Oh, yeah - and I forgot about THIRTY SECONDS OVER TOKYO, about the Doolittle raid - the part where they show how they worked out (and attempted and re-attempted MULTIPLE times) how to get B25s (called...

    COT 10-04 nurse to 10-05

    carolinapooh replied to midinphx's topic in Government, Military

    Thanks! If you're a military newbie get your paws on that AF Officer's Handbook. It's a bit more concrete than the OIs they want you to read in COT and it's very well

    Workplace violence

    Plus in the end it will only give her ammunition to twist and use against you. Tell her very politely you're not at liberty to discuss the situation and refer her to your

    Workplace violence

    carolinapooh replied to CNL2B's topic in General Nursing

    Bullying = form of violence, IMH ex-cop O. "Workplace violence" doesn't always mean someone who walks in and shoots the place up. It's like the term "lateral violence", used a lot to describe the...

    Have anyone ever attended two colleges at once?

    carolinapooh replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    Just BE SURE your degree-granting institution will accept the transfer credit, and get it in writing that they will - because if you take the class, and then your degree school doesn't accept it,...

    Taking an unpaid vacation, is it possible?

    carolinapooh replied to Wheaties's topic in General Nursing

    Join the military - manning permitting I can take 30 days straight - I've done it in the past. You earn 30 days (2.5 days for every 30 days served) a year, you earn leave while you're on leave, and...

    Long term care to active duty?

    carolinapooh replied to GFzalez's topic in Government, Military

    I would imagine that's true enough! While recruiters have a reputation for being a nightmare, I do wonder sometimes if it's not borne out of a need to

    Tattoos and the Military

    carolinapooh replied to stardogdaisy's topic in Government, Military

    I was actually picturing a big one across the back - because I've seen one Lt in Wilford Hall with a small one on her neck - AND YOU CAN SEE IT with her hair up, which annoyed

    Long term care to active duty?

    carolinapooh replied to GFzalez's topic in Government, Military

    You're right - I know he is - but when most folks think "recruiter" they're thinking you can just walk into any of the military recruiter's offices and find what you're looking for, and with the HP...

    COT 10-04 nurse to 10-05

    carolinapooh replied to midinphx's topic in Government, Military

    There's also an Air Force Officer's handbook and an Air Force Wives handbook, which you can find on Amazon as well. Some of these books are also available for Kindle. Wanted to add: Billy Mitchell...

    COT 10-04 nurse to 10-05

    carolinapooh replied to midinphx's topic in Government, Military

    I've completed COT and unless you're desperate for something to do to kill time, I wouldn't bother. As a prior enlisted member of the USAF, I personally have a couple I'd recommend: Amazon.com: Beyond...

    Long term care to active duty?

    carolinapooh replied to GFzalez's topic in Government, Military

    What they mean by "constructive credit" is that it won't count towards credit towards advanced rank. The educated guess here seems to be that regardless of your experiences in LTC you'd probably be...

    I don't understand the diff between ADN & BSN????? Help!!!

    carolinapooh replied to Misslady113's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Day in the life of an army nurse

    carolinapooh replied to mstrawn2's topic in Government, Military

    You'd more likely be sent back to be an NP, not a PA, although you could always apply for PA school and funding through the Army and see what happens. Just curious - why not do the PA straight

    New RN thinking about a military career. Navy or Air force?

    carolinapooh replied to southernguy4469's topic in Government, Military

    I think most nursing officers across the services are deploying for six months, with certain positions and ranks deploying for a year regardless of the branch. Anyone else know/hear anything different...

    Tattoos and the Military

    carolinapooh replied to stardogdaisy's topic in Government, Military

    The recruiter's right about the tattoo per AF reg (I'm an Active Duty Air Force RN), and the services are becoming tighter on tattoos across the board. I think the second waiver has something more to...

    How do you wash your scrubs?

    carolinapooh replied to gumby1411's topic in General Students

    I put almost none of my personal clothes in the dryer; a dryer will DESTROY your clothes - they break fibers, melt synthetics (like Lycra) and fade colors - in many cases worse than your washing...

    I was sort of glad last year when my August slot fell through and I went in October (COT class 10-01). Class 09-06 was apparently over three hundred and fifty people....my COT class was 106

    Not to pee in your Corn Flakes (couldn't resist!) but I wouldn't be surprised if you don't leave until next year. Then again - you could get very lucky and wiggle into someone's dropped spot. I'd let...
