   young33 posted a topic in General Nursing

   I am just curious what other jobs do some of you nurses have? Currently I am still in school for my BSN, but I plan on nursing not being my only job. Once I get out I plan to get on a fire department, and get my medics license. I hope to work at the ...

   young33 replied to young33's topic in Male Students

   By the hiring thing, I simply mean by scarcity. I know some places because they don't have any men really want to hire them. But, I find it interesting you say you don't hear about the men in nursing thing. Maybe it is because I am in still in school...

4. NICU time count towards flight

   young33 replied to young33's topic in Flight

   Oh, I guess you are right. That does provide some confusion. By MICU, I meant mobile icu. That is what the flight company near me calls their ground units And for future reference, is the medical icu what is just commonly referred to as the icu?

10. NICU time count towards flight

    young33 replied to young33's topic in Flight

    Thanks for the reply. Now the thing with at least in my area with the MICU, is the MICU is flight. The MICU units are ran when they can't fly, they're the same crews. Thats at least my understanding of it. Now in regards to MICU, would you think bein...
