   Cowboy Thug replied to Cowboy Thug's topic in Correctional

   Thank you all for your input. I have been told I am an adrenaline junkie so I am always trying to find a thrilling avenue to my job. I accept it is a conflicting position to be in and now understand why the nurse is not directly involved. I guess I'l...

2. Can a nurse be part of the Special Operations and Response Team (SORT)?

   Cowboy Thug replied to Cowboy Thug's topic in Correctional

   To the best of my knowledge and what I've read, please correct me if I'm wrong, but the FBI uses EMT's and nurses in their SWAT for the benefit of both hostages and team members. I understand how conflicting both roles may be and I value all your opi...

   Cowboy Thug replied to Cowboy Thug's topic in Correctional

   Oh man, I was really hoping on being part of the Public Health Service AND being part of SORT. Thank you for letting me in on the details. What time of shifts do you work being part of the USPHS as a nurse and how often do you work weekends/nights/h...

   Cowboy Thug replied to Cowboy Thug's topic in Correctional

   Thanks BSN. And I dont believe we messaged each other before but thanks for confirming now. Seems like there is almost no limit to what nurses can go into. What is your personal take on the SORT team if you have been exposed to it? Thanks again.

9. Which is a better experience prior to working in a Prison, ICU or Emergency Room?

   Cowboy Thug posted a topic in Correctional

   I was just curious which is a better experience prior to working in a Prison, ICU or Emergency Room? I'd prefer to work in an ICU than the ER but whatever makes my application look better with the USPHS for the Bureau of Prisons, I'd gladly consider....

    Cowboy Thug replied to rhp123's topic in CRNA

    RHP, that schedule is pretty hardcore. I thought I had it bad. My first semester I got two C's and one B. I was disappointed but was working a fulltime job and I also have joint custody of my 2.5 year old. Just finished my 2nd semster with a 3.4 ...

11. CRNA'S in the USPHS, are there any? Also have a GS retirement question.

    Cowboy Thug replied to Cowboy Thug's topic in CRNA

    Hmm, I would assume there would be alot of competition within all the critical care nurses to be able to get considered for that CRNA position in that hospital. I wouldn't mind going to IHS in NM and AZ because it's closer to home but I can only ass...

    Cowboy Thug posted a topic in CRNA

    I am very interested in joining the USPHS after I graduate July '09 but wondered if there were any CRNA positions in that uniformed sector. From what I have explored on their website and even googled, I found nothing stating yes or no. I am at an u...
