  1. air force nursing questions

    hey, thanks for your input. my asthma wouldn't hinder the mission, but i just thought i'd ask because i keep hearing different things - they would consider me, or they'd completely dismiss me with no second thought.
  2. I unfortunately was kicked out because I failed on my third attempt on drug calc. Fortunately, because the school accepts students twice a year, I'll be able to start again in September. I will have to take a remediation class on drug calc starting n...

  5. air force nursing questions

  6. I leave all my books in the trunk of my car in a huge plastic container to keep them from flying around when I'm driving, and to keep them dry since my trunk leaks. When I'm at school, I take my bookbag, put in what I need and switch them out between...
  7. Nursing is stupid?

    Oh, my favorite comment was a co-worker of mine stating that nurses don't do anything, except do paperwork and walk into the room and look like they're doing something. I just thought to myself that if he ever ends up in a hospital, he gets the best...
  8. Getting Healthy in Nursing School

  11. I was diagnosed with it as a kid and I was sent to an asthma/allergy specialist last year where through testing that confirmed it. I've been lucky enough that my allergies have not gotten to the point where it would trigger one, which is why I get al...
  12. Nursing school weight gain

    Stay away from the snack machines! I've gained around 8 pounds since starting nursing school and I can point it to those darn packages of convenience, lol. You'd think being in a building for healthcare they'd pack the machines with something more he...
  13. Right now, I'm working on my Associate's in Nursing and plan to go straight for my Bachelors soon after. I'm interested in joining the military, particularly the Air Force, to go into the commissioned officer training for those in healthcare. I wante...
  14. I am buying my first stethoscope. Input?

    So I received the accessory kit about a month after sending in my information. It's great! It came with an amazing CD-ROM consisting of different heart sounds. I absolutely love it!
  15. I am buying my first stethoscope. Input?

    Thank you for all the replies. Between my post and reading others, I went ahead and bought the Littman Master Cardiology, along with a hip scope holder. I ordered it allheart.com, and although the shipping was a little expensive (around $15) I had my...
