1. Do Male Nurses Get More Respect?

   jgcadet replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

   You don't work where I work. Most of the patients are either drug addicts, from the local jail or just plain violent and abusive. They threaten, not just run their mouths. Even if management didn't like it they have no one to replace him with and he ...

2. Do Male Nurses Get More Respect?

   jgcadet replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

   I have personally seen male nurses take less flak from patients and docs because frankly they are less likely to take it. I vividly recall a young male ICU nurse telling docs and patients alike if they want to run their mouths or threaten (in the cas...

   Money.

4. Where's the infection?

   jgcadet replied to LMH2687's topic in General Nursing

   Elevated WBC doesn't mean infection always, does she have a left shift? Lactate? Sounds stress induced. What's her kidney function?

5. online NP schools..

   jgcadet replied to SwoRN's topic in NP Students

   So you want to attend a school that requires 0 hands on check offs or clinical guidance aside from clinical time in your home state? Imagine a medical school doing the same thing.... C'mon be realistic, most reputable programs will require you to com...

7. South Alabama Summer 2015

   jgcadet replied to rnpedi14's topic in NP Students

   If you apply for summer but can't enroll at that time can you rollover to fall? Also I was emailed a bannerweb jag pin number to check financial aid docs, does that mean anything?

8. Advice on military and graduate degree

   jgcadet replied to MavrickMan's topic in Government

   You can join the reserves and guard easily and go to school. Now joining as a nurse is a different animal as the govt is currently gimped manpower and budget wise. Schools are getting cut left and right and PCSs are halted. In short the military is s...

   Anyone apply for this year?

10. From RN to PA in the military

    jgcadet replied to coconutzz's topic in Government

    For the army I know they allow anyone with a BS and pre-reqs done (exception is they don't accept nursing cadets... however after you fulfill your nursing 4 years active I don't see why they would care) Reasons for people going the PA route usually i...

11. ROTC Vs. Direct commissioning

    jgcadet replied to armynursingstudent's topic in Government

    Honestly it depends, remember nursing is the number one priority in all situations though. Some nursing cadets really want the same experience as all other officers, others don't care (You have to decide for yourself if the time invested in planning ...

12. Army Nurse Candidate Program FY2011

    jgcadet replied to LindzRN's topic in Government

    I don't understand, ROTC and nursing are definitely doable. For what reason would you be missing LDAC (a commissioning requirement btw which you can do the summer after your junior/sometimes senior year)? Time management is the key. Plus you will be ...

13. New Fiscal Year Decisions

    jgcadet replied to New1LT's topic in Government

    Makes sense to me,the military is one of the few employers which will take fresh BSNs with no experience. All the hospitals around me are either A. Barely hiring or B. Require at least a few years of experience to be considered. With this economy, al...

14. Is there any shortage of military nurses?

    jgcadet replied to sholtzma's topic in Government

    As of right now and for the next few years, there is no shortage. (unless you have some serious experience or furthered education)

15. New Fiscal Year Decisions

    jgcadet replied to New1LT's topic in Government

    That makes sense, but I would assume that the air force and navy would long will fill up before the army. Traditionally, the army has more slots and the other branches seem to fill up faster regardless of job or mos (because of the (technical fields ...
