  1. NMC - CBT

    Hello all! So I'm currently in the progress of gaining my pin through the NMC. Can anyone please provide tips/guidance on the NMC CBT! I've taken it once and failed. Walked out of the test thinking it was easy, then got the fail notification a couple...
  2. Air Force FY2016

    Hi! This will be my second time applying as a NICU RN for the Air Force. I'm applying to the September boards. It would be great to hear from anyone applying to these boards as well! I posted a different thread a while back about this same thing, but...
  3. Duty stations overseas

    So I have no military experience and have less then 4 years nursing experience and my first duty station is going to be Japan. And I had basically thrown going overseas out the window because I was told chances were slim that overseas would be the fi...

    My recruiter told me there is no bonus and loan repayment. How did you guys get offered both??

  7. Air Force FY2016

    You're not the only one! I want to know so bad! I keep checking my email and have my phone on me at all times lol it's so hard not to text my recruiter every day to see if he knows anything new! Ugh!
  8. Air Force COT May 2016

    Ugh! I'm so jealous that you found out! I keep texting and emailing my recruiter to fnid out and he said nothing is up yet! I'm not so good at being "patient."
  9. Air Force FQ applicants Sept. 2015

    Hey all! I'm applying as a fully qualified applicant in September for the NICU identifier. Anyone else applying next month? I heard from my recruiter that the board meets September 11. The only thing left I have to do is my Chief Nurse Officer interv...
  10. Air Force FQ applicants Sept. 2015

    Thank you! Congratulations to you too!! I can't wait to find out when I'll be going to COT or where my base will be. At least with NICU I only have 4 bases I can go to, but it's still stressful not knowing. But this was my second time applying, so I ...
  11. Air Force FY2016

    THey take your years of experience and half it. And they count that towards your rank.
  12. Air Force FY2016

    My recruiter was briefed yesterday that assignments are being approved in San Antonio and should be out by Wednesday!
  13. Air Force FY2016

    call your recruiter tomorrow! I was SHOCKED that I found out so soon! I wasn't expecting anything until the 19th or later!
  14. Air Force FY2016

    My recruiter called me today and the board results are out! I was selected as a NICU nurse. Didn't get my COT date or my base yet, but he said that should be out next week! Anxious to hear everyone else's results! Good luck!
  15. Air Force FY2016

    I talked to my recruiter today. Just said the board met last week and he hadn't heard anything.
  16. Air Force FY2016

    theflashbang... were you told by your recruiter that we would find out Oct 19? Didn't hear that from mine, but it would be great to know that we would find out that day or sooner! Thanks!
  17. Air Force FY2016

    No, it's just 2 boards that meet for fully qualified. So in September they meet and look over everyone who applied and make selections from that group. I'm pretty sure that you just get put into a COT class based on openings at the base you're assign...
  18. Air Force FY 2015

    Is anyone else on here applying for FY 2015 for Air Force? I'm in the process of applying for the selection board in October 2014 and it would be great to hear from someone else also applying for the end of this year! :)
  19. Air Force FQ applicants Sept. 2015

    I don't think it matters which interview you do first. They both just have to be done prior to your package being submitted. Unless your chief nurse was the specialist for the area you're applying. But I found that both interviews had the same kind o...
  20. Air Force FQ applicants Sept. 2015

    Yeah, my recruiter said your package is due on Sept. 11 and that the board meets end of September. And then they don't release the results until mid-October. I just did my Chief Nurse interview yesterday. It went really well, the woman I interviewed ...
  21. Question about DQ conditions

    I just went to MEPS last week and while there (not sure how true this is) but the Chief Medical Officer there said to not lie about any preexisting condition because if they find out about it while you're in the military, it can mean dishonorable dis...
  22. ETT Tube feedback- Looking for input!

    I have used both Neobar and Neofits. My previous hospital used the Neobar, I felt that sometimes it was hard to change out and didn't stick to the patient's face that well. My new hospital just switched to Neofits, which I really do not like and not...
  23. Air Force FY2016

    Good luck! Even though September/October feels far away, I know that it's going to be here before we know it! I'm waiting on one last letter of recommendation and then doing my interviews in August! I've been through the process before, so I know wha...
  24. Air Force FY 2015

    What specialty are you applying for?
  25. Cleaning Supplies in the NICU

    One hospital i work at got rid of CaviWipes because they're known to cause cancer hence why you always have to wear gloves when wearing them. They switched to hydrogen peroxide wipes by Clorox. We didn't use those to clean isolettes though, housekee...
