Thanks for the advice guys I passed my CFRN !!!

Thanks for sharing, How often and how long did you deploy? How was your experience?

That's awesome you're applying. Hope you get selected looks like you got some great certs! I got selected in October but I think they do selections again in January. Good luck!

I plan on ordering all my stuff before I go... Hoping to get all of it from a base? I know I won't have access until I have my military ID card though. Are the boots from a military base store uncomfortable or are you just wanting to break some in early?

Any Air Force flight nurses pm me please? :)

Did you get the slot? I'm trying to find other Air Force Fns

Did you find out if an accession bonus is okay with the ISP?

I'm so glad you're posting. Thank you. What about bringing personal vehicles versus taking a flight? Do they pay for the flight

Oh and btw I grew up 45 minutes from Tampa. You will love the Gulf!!!

What did you wish you knew before you went? What did you wish you brought, didn't really need, or know is necessary to bring? How was the training?

Xibalba, What advice do you have for COT? I'm sure it's way different than basic but a lot might be similar? Also any input about Scott? Thanks!

I know that some of us will have to take a course as part of specialty training before they start their nurse work.

What I learned about the ISP is you have to be certified in the same specialty that you are working in. Also it only applies to certain specialties. It is something that is applied for once you get to your duty station. There is fine print about not qualifying depending on what type of bonuses and loan repayment that you are already getting. I am inquiring more into it myself. Either way, I think it's great that we even get an accession bonus this year. It was a nice surprise. :)

I pm'd you about Facebook. If you search me I'm sure you can add me on. I searched your name and there are a lot of Samantha Lynns. :) I wonder if there are other pages we can search to invite them to our Facebook page! I'm sure there are so many more attending COT in May that don't visit this forum.

That's a great idea. Anyone wanna make one? :)
