   ellies replied to PMFB-RN's topic in Government

   I am glad you put this article on the board, I will pass it on to some of my young corpsman and medics looking to enhance thier careers on the outside. Another route is an EMS degree program, but you still have to get the necessary prerequisite for ...

2. Heated debate between Civilian ED RN and FMF Hospital Corpsman.

   ellies replied to testing109's topic in Emergency

   I like you post but I am looking for a program that will help folks while they are still in, and maybe the military is already working to that end, but I don't think so.

3. Heated debate between Civilian ED RN and FMF Hospital Corpsman.

   ellies replied to testing109's topic in Emergency

   That is a great answer, but what I would like to see is an educational format for the military all around to help medics, corpsman and such to achieve the theory, practice, and preparation to prepare for the NCLEX. The Army has an LPN program, but t...

4. Heated debate between Civilian ED RN and FMF Hospital Corpsman.

   ellies replied to testing109's topic in Emergency

   Once again, I get the licensing part and you are right about that, but if you may happen to another way to evaluate education toward LVN/LPN and or the 2 year ADN programs without trying to accelerate, but just being prepared for the programs around...

5. Heated debate between Civilian ED RN and FMF Hospital Corpsman.

   ellies replied to testing109's topic in Emergency

   First of all no one is talking about licensing I am talking about education, second of all I really don't need you to think me for my service because if it weren't for some great nurses out there I wouldn't have the experience i got as a medic!!, Thi...

7. Heated debate between Civilian ED RN and FMF Hospital Corpsman.

   ellies replied to testing109's topic in Emergency

   I am not going to say that we do more than nurses or anything of that nature, but as an Army Medic or Doc i will say we do quite a bit. RNs in the army run a patient hold which can be from 72 hours up to 3 days depending upon the Area of Operation. ...

8. Navy Hospital Corpsman to RN?

   ellies replied to JLhn's topic in General Nursing

   I don't know the real answer, but I think it would depend on the state in which you reside; if some of the professionals on this site could lend I would appreciate it.

9. Military Medics/Civilian Qualifications.

   ellies replied to twistedpupchaser's topic in Government

   But how often could a military medic be asked to provide humanitarian assistance or happen upon civilians while on operations that require help??? I thought we did humanitarian missions, and some the missions we do most definitely involve the local ...

10. The Nurse

    ellies replied to ellies's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you very much, the input I am receiving here is great. Please do not be offended by my odd research tactics, but it is necessary to do so in order to write a point paper as you all know. So if I in anyway offended anyone my most sincerest apo...

    ellies replied to ellies's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you all very much, I appreciate you help and the information you have offered. I have been checking around the area, I just got here to Fort Sam Houston in July of 2008. I was just trying to get outside info because I get so tied up at work. ...

12. The Nurse

    ellies replied to ellies's topic in General Nursing

    I believe I was looking at something more on a traditional path. And you are not listening because I have said many times that I understood one needed those classes, but how could I create a program to satisfy all those requirements for the non m6 m...

13. The Nurse

    ellies replied to ellies's topic in General Nursing

    Lucky1RN what I was trying to say before the other person answered was in the last post. I was looking for a program that bring the basic medic, corpsman, or med tech up to par with prenursing skills or something close to at the very least LVN skill...

14. The Nurse

    ellies replied to ellies's topic in General Nursing

    Guy I was talking on the pre nursing and LVN levels in preparation to RN. Is that so presumptuous. I mean if a kid doesn't go to the M6 course because at that time they think to do so, it would be kind of cool if they could go to an assessment type...

15. The Nurse

    ellies replied to ellies's topic in General Nursing

    With the exception of you as an IDMT, every MT I speak to in the Air Force wishes they could get to do what we do as medics. Form what I have seen of some nursing programs NAs CNAs and MAs get more of an edge then we do. I maybe wrong in my thinkng...
