I'm not sure on this....when I went to MEPS last year, I didn't bring any of that. I remembered dates of important checkups, ER visits, etc but I definitely didn't bring confirmation for anything. I...
That's what I figured. I've only had my license for one week, so it's not like I've been able to work for long. I'm widening my search, trying to find areas that have less people applying. Obviously...
Idk about Army or ROTC. But nurses trying to start in Air Force now (through NTP new grad route) require a 3.5 GPA just to apply...so I agree with above statements, it's getting more and more...
Awesome, I would prefer an ER job if I can find one but in my area there aren't enough preceptors to take new grads. I may end up in a med-surg until I know baout NTP, then I could try to switch and...
Thank you so much!! I'm a POC in my husband's unit FRG (he's army but getting out in July), volunteer in my church, and volunteer on an army base with Red Cross. All of this is new from the past few...
Enova, it's so encouraging to see your perseverance paid off!! Congrats. I'm applying to the NTP this year (I applied last year, didn't make it). I'm really praying and hoping this will be my year....
I have to agree with the other people who already said the NCLEX is set up to make each of us feel horrible coming out. I came out honestly not sure if I passed or failed, so did the 4 other...
Breathe!! As someone else said, you can try other more accurate sources like your state board licensure verification, or quick results if available. I found out yesterday I passed by using the...
For the Air Force, commissioning as a nurse is very competitive at the current time. That could change in four years, we don't know. But right now, new nursing grads can apply in the Air Force with...
Also, not sure if the medical exam is required anymore. My recruiter told me it's not required due to the exorbitant cost of sending sometimes 300 applicants to MEPS, only to need 35....I went to MEPS...
I'm applying this summer to the NTP program as well. I applied last year and was not selected. I graduated in December and take NCLEX this Thursday. As far as numbers, my recruiter told me the numbers...
It seems like a lot of people taking the Hurst Q Reviews are scoring between 80-90 and are passing NCLEX in 75 questions. That sounds promising, since getting cut off at 75 questions and passing shows...
Thank you guys for the posts. I do want to reapply next year, I'll be just able to apply NTP with almost 6 months exp, so hopefully having my BSN and license will help out. Plus working experience....
For those of you who got in, could you post some of your highlighted points for your resumes/applications? I'm not really sure what I could have done better and I'm just
They certainly can't wait too much longer since there are people who would leave for COT in October. With the new fiscal year starting October 1st I'd assume the latest we could possibly know is mid...
Also just a note, if he does apply to join the Air Force he would be competing against other experienced and qualified nurses, not new graduates. The Air Force separate new graduate nurses applying...
For me I chose Air Force instead of Army because Army does not hire fresh graduates. You are required to have working experience, and I don't graduate until December. For the rest of the branches, I...
