DaniO'Regan--- Congrats on finishing your WHNP! I just graduated from Nursing school in May and am entering this NTP program through the OB route. I hope to eventually get my WHNP :)

Welcome Harmony! I, too, will be heading to Tampa for NTP and then orders to SAMMC! Congrats :)

akracht--- Would you mind shooting me an e-mail? ([email protected]) I wanted to ask you a few questions related to your OB spot at Langley!

Welcome to the thread, Alicia! I am from Maine and will be doing NTP in Tampa and then San Antonio for my first duty station!

akracht--- Congrats! Langley was my first choice!! I have heard amazing things about their OB unit. Best of luck and see you in January! bb5698-- I have not decided what I want to do for my commissioning ceremony yet!

Good to see another OB selectee! See you at COT, laddy :)

Owen--- I grew up in Waterville. Worked this summer as a camp nurse. Will be working per diem until January in the Augusta area. bb569 & kc0823 & Kelsie: Where are you guys from? Do you have any information about NTP at Tampa. I know we will be traveling to Tampa General from base (MacDill AFB). Will any of you be bringing a car? I am planning on flying from Maine-->AL for COT and then buying a car once in Tampa. I will be heading to San Antonio after Tampa. ..my name is Sylvia by the way!

Owen-- Are you working as a nurse anywhere in Maine until COT?

See you all at COT in January! kc0823--- I am also doing NTP in Tampa! Are you Med-Surg or OB?

Anyone doing NTP in Tampa?? Or first duty station in San Antonio? Also....who were the Jan 19 COT people?

Camo-angel: My package was not nearly as impressive as johnro's.... -3.9 GPA, Graduated in May, passed my boards in June. -Brand new nurse and college graduate, only 22 years old. Have worked as a CNA throughout nursing school. -Spent my final semester of nursing school on a high risk OB/ L&D unit (I applied OB) -Letter of rec from OB nurses and a retired OB AF Nurse I do believe some of my stronger points of my application were my letters of recommendation and I think I interviewed really well with the Chief Nurse.

Congrats to those selected! I was an OB select. COT Jan 19---> NTP in Tampa --> first duty assignment is San Antonio!!! Way to go MAINE!!!

Any day now! Patience patience patience! (Easier said, I know...) 35 Medsurg and 5 OB!! Hoping for one of those 5 OB spots considering I've passed up 2 Labor & Delivery job offers since graduating in May. Good luck to all candidates :)

jerryp--- Great news! I am assuming that since FY '15 begins October 1st, the budget should be close to being figured out at this point? (I know I shouldn't assume). It seems that they might want to have everything finalized within a month of when the deadline is....fingers crossed we hear something by September 1st.

The FY '15 begins in October....I am assuming that the numbers will be figured out before the FY even starts. I don't think we will be waiting until October!
