  1. Before you join...

    iToniai replied to TripleM33's topic in Government, Military

    Took you hours to do that shows how pathetic you really are, you must not have a life and that's why you go around patrolling the board? So what I quit a civilian job to join the military? Did I not...

  2. Before you join...

    iToniai replied to TripleM33's topic in Government, Military

    Again, PT is not an issue. You can keep overlooking the issue if you choose to but that's to be expected with military people. The last time I checked, you can't be promoted if you haven't passed the...

  3. Before you join...

    iToniai replied to TripleM33's topic in Government, Military

    Hi! Everyone experience will be different. I know a few people who love it and I know a lot who hate it. One thing about this forum is there are die hard military fans here, who they don't like anyone...

  4. Before you join...

    iToniai replied to TripleM33's topic in Government, Military

    Sorry but your wrong. So keep your sarcasm, I see after all these years your still patrolling the board with that nonsense. Just stating

  5. Before you join...

    iToniai replied to TripleM33's topic in Government, Military

    Like i said in my original post; it was MY experience as a active duty nurse in the army. I'm not asking anyone for their opinion on whether or not nursing is for me. It's funny because it's like some...

  6. Before you join...

    iToniai replied to TripleM33's topic in Government, Military

    I agree, I haven't checked this forum in a long time but I happen to stumble here today. For those who remember my posting before joining the army. Here is just a brief description of how I feel about...

  7. Army PFT ???

    iToniai replied to hopeful_army_NP's topic in Government, Military

    I've never seen any RN's out there as graders. Matter of fact, other than OBLC I've never seen any officers out there as graders. Anyhow, since your telling me to go volunteer in order to boast...

  8. Why am I not happy with military nursing?

    iToniai replied to Ricky1980's topic in Government, Military

    I agree completely. I've been in for about a year now and I've never seen so many unhappy new nurses (2LT's). I can list a million reason why so many of us are so unhappy but I will just say this for...

  9. Army PFT ???

    iToniai replied to hopeful_army_NP's topic in Government, Military

    The APFT is a joke...IMO. Trust me when I say they could care less about walking, skipping, jogging, etc....I've seen it all. That said, I'm obviously only around Medical/Nurse corps soldiers so that...

  10. OBLC ht/wt/body fat% questions

    iToniai replied to LZRN's topic in Government, Military

    You'll do fine. Your close enough to get it down, just keep putting in the work. Like I said PT helped a lot of people who were close enough. When I went I was almost 12 minutes off my run time (I'm...

  11. Lost and in the Army!

    iToniai replied to AuburnArmy's topic in Government, Military

    Hi, I wasn't in ROTC but I am a direct commission. 1) Nurses go to OBLC, not BOLC. From what I know BOLC is more geared towards 70 Bravos 2) Nurse residency program is apparently going through...

  12. OBLC ht/wt/body fat% questions

    iToniai replied to LZRN's topic in Government, Military

    They will not send you home if you don't meet tape or can't pass the APFT. Within about a week after arriving you will be weighed, from what I saw a lot of us had to be taped. For our class we took...

  13. March 2009 OBLC???

    iToniai posted a topic in Government, Military

    Still a little nervous about the whole thing but I'm excited to finally be

  14. January OBLC Army Nurse Corps

    iToniai replied to forwaters's topic in Government, Military

    Any of you all who attended the January OBLC care to share your experience with the rest of

  15. March 2009 OBLC???

    iToniai replied to iToniai's topic in Government, Military

    Hey all, Safe travels you

  16. March 2009 OBLC???

    iToniai replied to iToniai's topic in Government, Military

    Anyone???

  17. the long, drawn out, aggravating and frustrating wait for orders

    iToniai replied to Staczse7's topic in Government, Military

    runninmomof7, I know the feeling. I've been commissioned for almost six months now and I just received my orders a few days ago. Granted I did change my oblc once but I didn't know that would've...

  18. Physical

    iToniai replied to gizarnmedic's topic in Government, Military

    I also went to a private doctor and it was much easier than going to meps ( I thought about enlisting before nursing school). Anyhow, I went to see the optometrist first and he checked my vision,...

  19. Medically Disqualified

    iToniai replied to Finalapproach's topic in Government, Military

    Sorry to hear about that. Kidney stones seems like such a minute thing to be disqualified for, while I know someone who was enlisted even with having been treated for depression in the past. Was that...

  20. January OBLC Army Nurse Corps

    iToniai replied to forwaters's topic in Government, Military

    Maybe the army should be blamed. If they commissioned someone who didn't meet the requirement to begin with, the army should not then expect the person to become the most physically fit person after...

  21. New Army RN Residency Program

    iToniai replied to Sobi's topic in Government, Military

    I'm glad I was able to share the information with you all. I'm really not trying to deter anyone from joining but as someone who has been lied to time after time before and after commissioning, I just...

  22. New Army RN Residency Program

    iToniai replied to Sobi's topic in Government, Military

    For those who are thinking about this nurse residency program, let me just tell you that I just recently found out that it's not something that a recruiter can promise you, it's something that's...

  23. Army OBLC packing list question

    iToniai replied to forwaters's topic in Government, Military

    GetnPhD, Thanks for letting us know what to pack. How are the living conditions there? I was reading a blog by a nurse who stated that she had a roommate. I thought it was single dorm style rooms? I...

  24. January OBLC Army Nurse Corps

    iToniai replied to forwaters's topic in Government, Military

    I found out I'll be in the January class too unless something changes :). I'm excited but still nervous as my running is still my downfall, I just can't seem to condition myself enough to do a full 2...

  25. Height and Weight Requirements

    iToniai replied to Jams95's topic in Government, Military

    Back in about March or so, I contacted an army recruiter and a navy recruiter. I knew I didn't met the weight requirement for either branch, I was 20 pounds from the army requirement and 10 pounds...
