1. Anyone

   NavyCheerGirl posted a topic in LPN/LVN Students

   I'm studying to be a nurse who recently in June got into an LPN program (I want my BSN so I can work in the Navy, eventually get my doctorite to teach). However, I'm more of a language person. I felt very compelled that it's my destiny to be a nurse ...

2. ASVAB and degrees

   NavyCheerGirl posted a topic in Government

   Is the ASVAB important to take after receiving and passing the NCLEX-RN? Speaking of RN, someone told me I could go into the Navy as an RN.... I thought I had to get my BSN. Is it true? I'm hoping cause my goal to become a Navy nurse kinda got pushed...

3. Do nurses need to know Arabic?

   NavyCheerGirl replied to NavyCheerGirl's topic in Government

   After thinking about it, I think it would be in my best interest to learn Persian and Arabic... would I be better off trying to teach myself or going to school to learn it?

4. No nursing schools at military academies?

   NavyCheerGirl posted a topic in Government

   I was wondering for a while why is it that there are no nursing schools at the major military academies (Navy, Air Force, and Army)? If there were nursing schools there wouldn't it be easier for people interested in nursing and go there rather than g...

   Any other languages that may be helpful in the Middle East?

6. Do nurses need to know Arabic?

   NavyCheerGirl posted a topic in Government

   I was thinking about learning Arabic because there could be times where nurses need to help Iraqi people who have serious injuries and they might not be able to speak English. Although there may be a translator, I'd say I'd find it quicker to know Ar...

7. Physical requirements to be a Navy nurse

   NavyCheerGirl replied to NavyCheerGirl's topic in Government

   Just out of curiosity since there's a lot of questions about the OIS, how much is the OIS like the naval academy or an NROTC program (considering that the OIS is 5 weeks and NROTC or the Naval academy is 4 years of training)?

8. Physical requirements to be a Navy nurse

   NavyCheerGirl replied to NavyCheerGirl's topic in Government

   I've been thinking about vaccinations lately (since I just went to the doctor and thankfully I don't need blood drawn for the fifth time nor do I need to have a shot... needles aren't my thing)... What kind of vaccinations are necessary to enter the ...

   NavyCheerGirl replied to NavyCheerGirl's topic in Government

   I had a thought about hair... I like getting high lights once in a while (nothing radical, of course). Is that allowed?

10. Physical requirements to be a Navy nurse

    NavyCheerGirl replied to NavyCheerGirl's topic in Government

    I think there's special "makeup" for tatoos. I dunno if it's sweat proof or whatnot, but I know there's a special coverup for tatoos that's like a foundation for the face.

11. Scholarships

    NavyCheerGirl posted a topic in Government

    I'm looking into scholarships from the Navy. It turns out now I WON'T be graduating in 2009 since I'm transfering from my former college to a small community college in my town... and of course there would be loans to pay back but I'd rather have the...

    What does "shipping weight" mean?

13. Physical requirements to be a Navy nurse

    NavyCheerGirl replied to NavyCheerGirl's topic in Government

    I just have a few small questions: what are some other small things that the military likes/dislikes in terms of physical features (as in how long can I keep my hair and I know the Navy won't like the four piercings I have on my ears...)? Oh, and a b...

14. Introduction - I Want to Join the Military and Nobody Understands

    NavyCheerGirl replied to raskolnikov's topic in Government

    Raskolnikov, if you have any more questions about the military, I recommend reading Married to the Military by Meredith Leyva. Even though I don't have a boyfriend in the military, I read the book anyway because the book's "subtitle" implies even wom...

15. Introduction - I Want to Join the Military and Nobody Understands

    NavyCheerGirl replied to raskolnikov's topic in Government

    OO so I need to take my NCLEX after I get my RN? I'm glad I read that because I wouldn't have known. I heard the NCLEX is wicked difficult... I'm struggling in the sciences as it is (I'm more of a language person but I want to be a nurse in order to ...
