Selection board 2012 for air force

Published

hello everyone,

got a question. when applying for the 2012 nurse corp selection boards, are all the applicants all over the country competing with eachother or do you compete with just your region? i was told there were only 22 slots and if we are competing with the whole country-OMG! waiting on an answer sucks. my recruiter has a back up plan for me if i dont get picked the first time for the med/surg but hopefully I do, and good luck to everyone else as well. talk to you all soon.

ATLRN0828, I just wanted to tell you good luck, and I really hope you hear from your recruiter soon! I imagine it is not any fun not knowing yet when everyone else seems to know already. If I were you I would try calling the recruiter today if it is not too late in the day....

Thanks for the well wishes, UCAFblue. My recruiter usually works half a day so if i don't get a chance to catch her by 1pm then I probably won't hear from her. I will try tomorrow.

hey everyone,

just wanted to let everyone know that i wasnt selected. my recruiter seems to think that since it was so competitive and so few slots, the fact that i am not done with school yet until june/july then that was the reason i wasnt selected. its better this way, that way i can concentrate on finishing up school and not be distracted. i am definitely gonna try again in september, that way it is a new fiscal year and my recruiter said there will be about 170 slots as opposed to 20 that were left over from this past selection. good luck to everyone waiting for results still.

To kdazzle.......I am so sorry to hear this and I hope that you succeed on your next try. I agree with both you and your recruiter, that you should definitelly try again; and it is also possible that you were non-select because you are still in school. But I am so glad to hear you say that you will try again because that is the best thing. Good lock to every thing you do and God bless.

ATLRN, I completely understand your position. I would drop a friendly inquiry anytime, considering it is the end of the week.

LOL...I know I got an email about it. I just deleted the messages so it's empty now. I'm so bad about that. Yeah, I want to put him in K3 starting in August if I wasn't selected.
