Medical News

I decided I should start writing about this whole process just so I can get it off my chest. I have found this whole application process to be quite stressful. I was nominated at the end of November, I received my medical packet in the middle of December. My medical packet was received by the Peace Corps in  the beginning of February. The middle of February Dental sent back my packet saying that I needed another x-ray. I was away at school so I had to wait a month until I was back home to get the x-ray. Sent dental back, a few days later I was cleared for dental. I have also been legally cleared. For the past 3 months I have been waiting for medical. Last Monday I finally gave in and emailed my medical assistant. She was very kind, and prompt and said that my medical had just been given to the nurses. On Saturday I got a letter saying that I needed a polio booster, and some extra signatures, because Minnesota isn't a state that allows Nurse Practitioners practice on their own. I took care of all the medical today, and will me faxing the information to them tomorrow. Hopefully I will be cleared for medical soon.
