  1. FY 2018 Air Force NTP

    Camo-angel replied to UTcat05's topic in Government, Military

    You can go to the Oct COT date even if NTP. I did back in 2015 and was medsurg

  2. AF COT/NTP Questions/Answers

    Camo-angel posted a topic in Government, Military

    Hey guys, been a bit since I was on here. I'm about done with COT, then off to NTP at Tampa, FL. I'll be stationed at SAMMC afterwards. I thought I'd start a new thread for people to ask questions...

  3. St Thomas New Grad Program

    Camo-angel posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    Hello, So I have an interview coming up at St Thomas West in Nashville for their new nurse residency program. I was wondering if anyone on here knew anything about the program? I tried calling but...

  4. Air Force NTP Applicant FY17

    Camo-angel replied to lasarazen's topic in Government, Military

    Officer Training was difficult, but not nearly as difficult as basic is for enlisted. It's 5 weeks total, and you go through phases. Each time you phase up, you get more privileges as a group. The...

  5. Nursing student wanting to join military.

    Camo-angel replied to Cheymo21's topic in Government, Military

    Jfratian is correct, the AF and Navy take a very small number of new graduate nurses without experience each year. By very small, think 35 medsurg and 5 OB for the AF. ROTC is always an option, no...

  6. Nursing student wanting to join military.

    Camo-angel replied to Cheymo21's topic in Government, Military

    You could also look into ROTC and the Air Force. AF takes new grad nurses through the NTP program, I just finished it in January. It's competitive, everything is right now. But you could look into it...

  7. Air Force NTP Applicant FY17

    Camo-angel replied to lasarazen's topic in Government, Military

    I commissioned and started COT in October, then started NTP in November. Originally I wasn't going to commission until January, but I specifically requested to go sooner if possible and they found an...

  8. Air Force NTP Applicant FY17

    Camo-angel replied to lasarazen's topic in Government, Military

    I think somewhere a month ago someone asked about GPAs for people who were accepted? I had a 3.74 GPA. When I applied the minimum required GPA was 3.4 I think. If anyone has other questions about the...

  9. AF COT/NTP Questions/Answers

    Camo-angel replied to Camo-angel's topic in Government, Military

    Yes they'll cover the flight if you fly. I drove my own vehicle, so I was able to pack more items and on weekends when you do have base privileges, you can use your own car to drive

  10. Air Force NTP Applicant FY17

    Camo-angel replied to lasarazen's topic in Government, Military

    Oh, and my first duty station is SAMMC on Fort Sam Houston, in San Antonio

  11. Air Force NTP Applicant FY17

    Camo-angel replied to lasarazen's topic in Government, Military

    I'm already in COT, I arrived Oct 5th and graduate Nov 6. My NTP is in Tampa, FL at MacDill so I'll be there in a few weeks. There's lots of great forums on here about how to apply and be competitive....

  12. AF COT/NTP Questions/Answers

    Camo-angel replied to Camo-angel's topic in Government, Military

    I wish I'd brought food items like granola bars, energy gummies, and beef jerky. You don't get phased up for the first two weeks, so you aren't allowed to just go buy food whenever. I just bought...

  13. Air Force NTP Applicant FY17

    Camo-angel replied to lasarazen's topic in Government, Military

    Those numbers sound about right, maybe on the low side but they changed the standards so less people were able to apply. I applied first in summer 2014, when there were over 300 applicants but only 35...

  14. AF Nurse Corp

    Camo-angel replied to dream031224's topic in Government, Military

    From first day I talked with a recruiter till this Sunday (my leave day) the process took 1 year 10 months. I applied twice for the NTP program, for new nurses without experience. If I were accepted...

  15. Any Air Force new grad applicants FY2016?

    Camo-angel replied to Ashdx21's topic in Government, Military

    Sweet, I'm joining then. My name is

  16. Any Air Force new grad applicants FY2016?

    Camo-angel replied to Ashdx21's topic in Government, Military

    JoJo, would that page be for any NTPers or just your specific COT class? As in, I'm COT class 16-01, but I haven't found anyone going to this one

  17. New Grad Interested in Becoming an Officer

    Camo-angel replied to babyrnhlw's topic in Government, Military

    The Air Force and Navy take new graduate nurses with little experience, however the Air Force only meets once a year to take new nurses without experience, and they just met in July and picked their...

  18. Any Air Force new grad applicants FY2016?

    Camo-angel replied to Ashdx21's topic in Government, Military

    I swore in August 17th, leave October 5th. I'm also not sure what is meant by scroll. I know congress has to approve us for commissioning, so I guess my scroll was approved if I already swore in? I...

  19. Air Force FY2016

    Camo-angel replied to morgan_porgan's topic in Government, Military

    Yes, you are at least looking at next year for boards. If you have enough experience by March you can apply for that one, otherwise it's apply to NTP in July or the FQ board next September...just...

  20. Air Force FY 2015

    Camo-angel replied to morgan_porgan's topic in Government, Military

    _zoubisoubisou_, there are a couple different boards meeting. The one that's happening now/soon is for FQ, the fully qualified experienced nurses. Now I don't remember if you need 6 months or 1 year...

  21. New grad or FQ?

    Camo-angel replied to _zoubisoubisou_'s topic in Government, Military

    Agreed, there are plenty of past posts that will answer your questions, as well as meeting with a healthcare recruiter. I'll quickly address some of your questions. If you're applying for next year...

  22. Air Force Nursing Corps

    Camo-angel replied to AirForceNursingCorps's topic in Government, Military

    Being prior enlisted may give you a small advantage, but not in a way that makes you more likely to be selected as a nurse. It's more like, you understand the military and system already. They do...

  23. Any Air Force new grad applicants FY2016?

    Camo-angel replied to Ashdx21's topic in Government, Military

    You will swear in before COT, I swore in at my recruiter's office with a Captain last week. But until we start training, we're considered reserve, not active duty. As far as getting weighed, I know we...

  24. How to improve AF new grad application

    Camo-angel replied to chloejean104's topic in Government, Military

    That's awesome!! That will definitely help with the interview part of it. If you happen to meet/know other nurses/officers that have military background they would be excellent for Letters of...

  25. Any Air Force new grad applicants FY2016?

    Camo-angel replied to Ashdx21's topic in Government, Military

    What my recruiter explained was the accession bonus was not a thing for the NTP program. It IS still alive for the specialty nurses, so ICU and the others that are not doing NTP. I even signed a legal...
