Sorry to hear that... Like I posted before I think they look at full RNs before those still in school.Stay strong your last year in. Throughout this whole process I was lucky to be able to read everyone's posts on here as well as have the help of my husband who is a medically retired Navy Corpsman and purple heart recepiant who been deployed 3 times (2 to Iraq) after 9/11. He really helped me realize how important nurses are in the military and also how much they are needed. I recieved entrance to Sigma Theta Tau, Phi Kappa Phi honor society in school as well The National Society of Collegiate Scholars. Not sure if that helped but I was also very active in college(voulenteered over 400 hours to various causes, even habitat for humanity down in New Orleans after Katrina and also was president of my sorority AOII) I'm not sure how your nursing school was but at mine our nursing classes were grouped into 10 - 12 credit hour classes so it really hurt my gpa if I got a B in one of those classes as we were not in the +/- scale.Lol so basically in short what I'm saying is use this last year to get more accomplishments under your belt for next year.

Just heard from my recruiter...I'm an alternate select, but at #31, so he said chances are I won't get picked up this year. If I don't get picked up I'll be applying again next year!! Thank you all for all the support and hopefully we'll all meet in person as Air Force nurses someday!!

It's ok Jessa951! I haven't heard yet, but if I don't get in because I haven't graduated, that just means we will try again. :)
