   beepeadoo posted a topic in Government

   Heading to Ft. Sam for my Reserve Component BOLC on June 6, just thought I'd see if anyone else on here is heading that way as well... looking forward to it! Also wondered... Does anyone know if Reservists get BAH for BOLC?

3. Trauma Room Staffing (not ratios...)

   beepeadoo replied to beepeadoo's topic in Emergency

   Well usually what happens in that event, when we have our usual trauma assignment of 1, is the Charge Nurse and one other nurse from one of the lower acuity areas comes to help.

4. Trauma Room Staffing (not ratios...)

   beepeadoo posted a topic in Emergency

   So I work in a Medium Sized Pediatric ER in a free-standing Pediatric Hospital seeing 50k+ pts a year. We have two trauma rooms with two bays each, and we are currently a Level II center. As I am sure with most places, our trauma rooms are used not o...

6. Help filling out a form?

   beepeadoo posted a topic in Government

   So I'm completing a form for Reserves (75-R to be exact) and it's asking me for my "Command/Activity" and I'm like :dunno and thought maybe someone in here could give me a clue? Any idea what they're asking for? where to find it? what it is? I could ...

7. Medical Screening Form... how long?

   beepeadoo replied to beepeadoo's topic in Government

   Thanks so much to all of you. I called the recruitment office directly and then asked if he was still working for them since I was not getting any callbacks. Amazingly, he was, and he had an answer for me... I'm through step 1, I get a physical now. ...

8. Medical Screening Form... how long?

   beepeadoo posted a topic in Government

   So I'm a BSN RN and I'd love to join the Army Reserve. Monetary benefits as well as the challenge interest me. Here's the kicker... I'm older (43) and I have some medical issues. Nothing that keeps me from doing my job on a day-to-day basis now (I'm ...

   beepeadoo replied to jeanne1n10's topic in Psychiatric

   I'm actually in peds, so that works for me. Actually that's pretty good -- a bit long but really along the lines of what I was looking for. I shall keep looking as well. Thanks!

10. acuity assessment tools

    beepeadoo replied to jeanne1n10's topic in Psychiatric

    Gonna bump this to the top, as it fits my needs, rather that start a new thread. I too am looking for a subjective assessment tool/program/system to assess psychiatric acuity in our Emergency Department. As it now stands we have a tool for MEDICAL ac...

11. High pay, no degree required!

    beepeadoo replied to love-d-OR's topic in General Nursing

    So the headline says no degree required, but when you read the article, it says no ADVANCED degree required. Hmmm... rather lousy headline writing and very deceptive. Also, when one tries to find "Grace Chen" of "Findtherightschool.com" there is no s...

12. Where are some areas you worked for your final senior yr semester clincal experience?

    beepeadoo replied to rainbowbright11's topic in New Nurse

    This is THE time for you to do ICU! If you think you're scared of it, what better way to see what it's REALLY like than to be there for clinical... you'll still have the safety net of your instructor/preceptor and you can get totally immersed in what...

13. Just Fired From My 1st Nursing Job

    beepeadoo replied to MysticalSeeker's topic in New Nurse

    I know it's already been said... but I'm gonna throw MTC in anyways: wow what a MESS that was just a disaster waiting to happen. Yes I know you need the money... but as was said: protect your license/protect the patient! The jobs will come! I would N...

    I just registered for Sept 5. Gulp! No worries. No worries.

15. Two Clinicals at Once?

    beepeadoo posted a topic in General Students

    It might be a silly question, but I'm wondering if this is unusual, or if I just need to shut up 'n suck it up... I've got Mental Health clinical going right now for the first rotation of the semester: Tues/Thurs 9-4. At the same time, I'm being to p...
