    Be sure to take some digital pics on 10/14/06 I forgot my camera for the Reserve Commission, yet I did remember it for my Regular Commission and my wife took some great pics! Again, congrats!
  2. ADN to BSN vs. BSN

    If you have the opportunity, then go straight for your BSN. This will save you time & money in the long run. However, nothing wrong with becoming an ADN and later pursuing BSN via RN-BSN online program. First, I completed AAS in Surg Tech [1995],...
  3. ICU, when to advance?

    I was thinking more along the lines of 12 months with a full-time schedule. Otherwise, I agree with the above.

  9. Are You Man Enough to Be a Nurse?

    I agree it is a very, very good campaign poster to invite males into the nursing profession.
  10. Survey: Should family be present for a code?

    Not all family members can handle witnessing their loved one in a code, but to never find it appropriate seems like a blanket statement, IMHO. I know I'd want to be present in a code situation involving a close family member. BTW, when my Dad had CAB...
  11. Need some wisdom- a little encouragement

    Can you break that up into a few paragraphs? :chair:
  12. Combining Adult Med Unit with Peds Unit

    At Madigan Army Medical Center, the only difference from ICU - East [where I work] & ICU - West is the East side takes Peds, as well as Adult patients, whereas the West side takes S/P CABG & Heart Valve patients. I recently certified in PALS...

  14. Organ Donation and Homosexuals

    YES Rambisisking, you got it! :bowingpur ... thank you for understanding! Two things I hate, is being misunderstood & ignored.
  15. Organ Donation and Homosexuals

    ... regards to both homosexual & heterosexual monogomous relationships which practice unsafe sex. I was NOT intending to be negatively bias towards homosexuals in the least bit. Still confused, LOL?
