I work for the military as a Home Visitor with the New Parent Support Program. Check it out. All the branches of the military have this program (and each are a little different). I am a federal employee with great benefits and average RN pay. I LOVE ...
I am a civilian working as an RN on a Marine Corps base in a pediatric program. There are nurses that I work with who have spouses in the military. So working is certainly possible. But nursing school is a whole other subject. To answer that question...
The best way for me to learn is when I have something to 'hang' my knowledge on. And what I did that really helped me was to look everything up that I came into contact with. I worked summers and vacations at a children's hospital when I was in nursi...
I also have taught CPR, First Aid, Safe Sitter babysitting classes, and all these classes to homeschooling groups as well. All these things, as the previous poster suggested, are a great way to gain experience and confidence in front of a group of pe...

So she is in MedSurg II with her nursing education and she 'will not NOTICE the beeping'??? and wants to put eating FIBER before this??? Wow. I teach nursing assistants and medical assistants. I see a lot of advice on these boards that these professi...
I was trained through my hospital, but now many training centers are through local fire and rescue or even community colleges. You must choose a training site to be affiliated with and they will assign someone to monitor you and keep you updated. I l...
Well, I may not be any help, as I do not KNOW the correct answer. But I think my answer would be to help the patient with their coffee. If they were not paralysed on the left side, why would you need to put the toast in their hand? They should be abl...
