Hello All, I am currently a Clinical Nurse in the Air Force Reserves and yes we are required to work at least 180 hours a year. There is a form that has to be signed by your supervisor/NM verifying this, just as LTinAK stated. It is my understanding...

Hi UCAF, I understand your desire to be an enlisted member first, but I would suggest you go in as an officer. My experience: I was enlisted for 11 years, as a mental health technician, prior to getting my commission. I was an ADN RN (5 years);howe...

Meriwen, Thanks for the input... it's good information to know. When I relocated from MS (compact state) to TX (compact state), MS just change my licence to single state. This whole compact licensure really confuses me... or is that every state doe...

I recently relocated to the Hampton Roads area and I'm having the hardest time getting an interview. I don't know what to think... I have 7 years experience (in a specialty area), I'm certified (in that specialty), and have a BSN. I'm also currently ...

Pacu No I haven't... I recently applied for a VA license and itwas at that time I found out that my Texas license was inactive and has beensince Aug 18. So, I've been without an active license for 1 1/2 months:wideyed:. I'm sure that's why I didn't ...

808Diva, Thanks for the reply. I applied to both of the hospitals you mentioned. Same results; spoke to nurse recruiter and were told it would be forwarded but never got an interview from either. Thanks for the encouragement... I really need it at th...

missnurse, Thanks for replying. Although, I did include my previous pay; I stated"open" for preferred pay. This was only because it required me to putsomething in the space. The area I moved from did indeed pay more (exactly $4more than this facility...

Never mind...I found the thread where you provided detailed information about the VA process. Keep up posted!!!! AndyRn

Wife&mommy, Can you tell me how the interview process works for the VA? How long was the process from start to finish? Thanks, AndyRN

pooshx2, did you appy for and get this job? I'm really curious since I'm interested in doing the same but would like more information. Thanks in advance.

Hello everyone. I will be relocating to Abilene, Tx in a few months with hubby whose active duty Air Force. I've been doing a little research and I see there's two hospitals there. One has a inpatient rehab unit (Hendricks); I'd really be interesting...

I'm also looking to move to the hampton roads area next year. I've looked at all the hospitals websites... Mom_to_4, can you send me a PM to let me know why one should stay away from Maryview. I'm currently working at on a rehab unit but will be will...

Is there an Air Force Reserve Medical Unit at Langley AFB? A few years back, someone told me there was a Medical Unit opening at Langley but I'm unable to find any information on it. I know there has to be quite a few medical people in the Air Force ...

Did a little research last night and there is a Medical Unit at Langley but I'm not sure if they have Flight Nurse positions. I'm going to try and find a number for them and give them a call.

Thanks for responding. I am in the Reserves; have been for 13 1/2 years. I received my commission in May 2010 and just completed RCOT this past April. I love the Hampton Roads area. My husband and I are planning to move out there in a year. I'm just ...

Check out University of South Alabama. It's a traditional university with an online MSN Informatics program. It's seems pretty reasonable.

Tahoe77- The hospital has a policy that any weekend that is missed has to be made up (thus me working on my off weekend). Military time shouldn't have to be made up... in my opinion, that's penalizing me for time I need off for military duty/training...

Tahoe77- I say go for it. Never know... you may be that one to get in. A Critical Care nurse with a CCRN (in my opinion) has a greater chance than one without those qualifications. Consider Flight nursing or CCAT (Critical Care Air Transport) nursin...

Good Luck!!! When my husband and I moved to our current base, I also wanted to work at the bases facility. I was told contracting as well as premanant hire (RNs) were to apply through USAjobs. I applied and was told I qualified HOWEVER... there were ...

SusyQ, yes, I accepted the job at Hendrick Rehab and loving every minute of it. Hendrick is a great place to work and they really care about their people. I hear Abilene Regional is so so, but I can't confirm since I've never worked there. If you ha...

ET CRNA, have you gone to RCOT yet? I'm scheduled for April. If you've gone, can you tell me a little about your experience. Thanks

AMEN...

I, too, have had the experience of relocating to Texas only to find out that my Mississippi license were only good for 30 days. VERY DISAPPOINTING, since I still have another good year to use them. I guess I was one of those few that didn't understan...

Thanks.... I will check them out.

Anisettes, when applying for the position you now hold, did you have to use KSAs (Knowledge, skills, and abilities) in your resume? I'm very interested in working on an Air Force Base (the job was posted on USAjobs); however, I'm just a little confus...
