  1. Air Force NTP June/July2015

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

    That's a great attitude to have. I truly feel I belong in the Air Force and that is where I can become the best nurse and person I can be. That being said, I absolutely LOVE my current job and...

  2. Air Force NTP June/July2015

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

    Hey littlemissfit, I remember you from the posts last summer!! I haven't heard of anyone else applying again, I wonder if it's just you and me from this site! How do you feel applying again?! I'm so...

  3. Stuck between going Navy or Air Force for nursing!

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

    Well I'm assuming you're not applying this year, because future December grads aren't allowed to apply for the NTP this year (this is a new policy, I was a December grad and they let me apply last...

  4. Commissioning with prior service ! HELP

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

    Things right now are definitely competitive. GPA requirement for Air Force is 3.5 minimum, last year over 300 people applied for 40 spots across the country. So it is very competitive, you need to be...

  5. Air Force Nurse/Age/Demand

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

    Well, right now the Air Force has plenty of nurses. It's still taking nurses in certain specialties but it can now afford to be very picky because it doesn't need a lot of us. With experience you...

  6. TEAS Freak out (Ivy Tech)...

    Camo-angel replied to AshleytobeRN's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    If you have made straight A's so far, try studying the same way you'd study for any other exam. Take one subject/chapter at a time, look over it, study however it is you study and keep practicing. But...

  7. cover letter help!

    Camo-angel replied to blah_blah_blah's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I'm not sure you need to mention the grocery store position. Yes it shows you held a job for a period of years while having other commitments, but it's so separate from the nursing field. I didn't...

  8. Senior Nursing Student thinking about Air Force

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

    Graduating in May 2016 you will apply for the Board of 2016 which will meet summer 2016. The board for this year is meeting in July, so you won't apply to this board. I'd suggest contacting a...

  9. Senior Nursing Student thinking about Air Force

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

    Welcome to the site! You have a lot of questions, and I'll try to answer the ones I can. Just so you know, I am a new grad nurse (Dec 14) and I applied last year and this year for the Air Force. 1. So...

  10. Any Air Force new grad applicants FY2016?

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

    You would need to contact a healthcare recruiter in your area, make sure they are healthcare not general or enlisted. For the Air Force they change the number of openings each time depending on what...

  11. Any Air Force new grad applicants FY2016?

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

    Oh I forgot about the ADN experience there, I assumed since she was getting her BSN this coming December she'd be eligible. Woops. Listen to Jfratian!

  12. Any Air Force new grad applicants FY2016?

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

    Well you're too late to apply this year, and you wouldn't be allowed since you graduate in December. But you can apply next year for the Air Force NTP, they generally meet in June or July so you work...

  13. When to apply for first job

    Camo-angel replied to nursinglove15's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I agree with the other posts in that unless it's a residency program, you won't likely get any calls or interviews until you pass NCLEX. Unless you have inside connections, such as family/friends in...

  14. Any Air Force new grad applicants FY2016?

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

    Any updates or new people applying for NTP this summer?? I just had my chief nurse interview, and everything is board ready to be sent in a week or so!! I also just found out today that December grads...

  15. How long should my resume be?

    Camo-angel replied to _zoubisoubisou_'s topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I agree, a new grad resume should be short and to the point. A CV is where the 3-4 pages comes in, mine is 3.5 pages and I feel like it's too

  16. LTC experience is worse than no experience? True/false?

    Camo-angel replied to Melody Pond's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    If you want to work in acute care settings, go for an acute care internship if possible. LTC is still better than zero experience, however it can be difficult to transition from LTC to acute care,...

  17. Nurse Corps Question

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

    As the other posts state, it's not as easy as show up and sign, and I don't recommend trying to join any branch simply for the money. Joining the military is not for everyone. Joining the military as...

  18. NAVY nursing

    Camo-angel replied to Kouklitsa27's topic in Government, Military

    Not sure if you consider Navy your only option, but the Air Force takes new grads once a year with 6 months experience or less, the board meets in July this year. You won't have time to complete...

  19. Non military nursing position on base

    Camo-angel replied to RunnerD1987's topic in Government, Military

    A lot of military hospitals will take into consideration you are a military spouse and will hire you for the hospital. It'd kindof like giving special consideration to the fact you have to move,...

  20. Is it possible to become a RN but work part time from the start. Get Air Force commission?

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

    So you're asking if you could get your associates, but only work part time as a nurse or not at all until retiring and getting a bachelors? That seems like a waste of the associates, because you...

  21. Nurse in the Air Force

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

    Are you applying NTP with 6 months experience? That's the cutoff, I'm barely making it, I'll have 6 months exp by the time results are

  22. Joining the military with BSN

    Camo-angel replied to Sam_walsh17's topic in Government, Military

    The Air Force is definitely still taking new grad nurses this year. The current info is 35 med-surg spots, 5 OB spots (same as last year) but this is across the entire country and last year over 300...

  23. Nurse in the Air Force

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

    Just curious maria, what area of nursing are you in currently?

  24. What is Entry-Level Rank for Nurse Airforce, and what are working conditions?

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

    On another note, you say this is partly a backup plan in case the employment world in civilian sector isn't as welcoming? As a brand new grad, landing that first nursing job can be difficult, even...

  25. Help!-Becoming An Air Force Nurce

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

    I agree with Dranger here, there isn't a way to have the AF pay for schooling while you are commissioned/enlisted. It just doesn't happen right now. The AF takes brand new nurses once per year, and we...
