Frustration

Woke up this morning to an email from Peace Corps regarding a new “Application Toolkit Update”:


ANOTHER Medical Hold was placed on my account.


Lest to say I’m very frustrated at this, especially since the hold was lifted last week.


Edit: I talked to someone from the OMS. I have to REDO my urinalysis AGAIN. They’re sending a letter explaining what needs to be done. I’m going to try and get this all done for good before I go out of town for the Labor Day weekend.

Application Toolkit Update!

Medical hold was taken off of my account, so that’s awesome!



However, there isn’t a check mark next to the Medical Evaluation part of the checklist…so now what?

App Process Update

So my “Medical Hold” was put on because I had to redo some of the original information:


  • Polio Booster Immunization

  • Urinalysis

  • Hepatitis B Surface Antibody results

  • Questionaire about TB test results

I got that all taken care of last week and sent it to my RN at the OMS. She said they were moving offices on Monday, so I’m crossing my fingers that I should hear from her that everything is right the second time around and I can continue on with the process.


Send good thoughts my way!

Application Toolkit Update!

Good things always happen after Peace Corps does their website maintenance!


First, I got the Dental Clearance and after the most recent maintenance, I received a “Medical Hold”, meaning my paperwork is in the hands of a nurse now and I continue to patiently wait to hear something good!


Fingers crossed the only call I get is saying, “Everything seems to be in order and we’re handing your file off to a Placement Officer who will conduct your final interview.”


…or something like that :)
