1. Army RN FY 2016 question

   sch983 replied to sch983's topic in Government

   That may be true. I haven't researched Air Force. I think the tattoos on my arms are an automatic disqualification

2. Army RN FY 2016 question

   sch983 replied to sch983's topic in Government

   That's another excellent bit of insight Pixie. I'm assuming Id have to get my CCRN before I can be considered for ISP if they still offer it. The only real reason I worry about the monthly number really is my substantial student loans and quite a la...

3. Army RN FY 2016 question

   sch983 replied to sch983's topic in Government

   The recruiter made it sound like that because I have over 1000 hours in this year alone in the ICU I might be alright. The reserves definitely seems like it gives me more latitude as far as keeping my ICU skills up. It certainly would have been fun ...

4. Army RN FY 2016 question

   sch983 replied to sch983's topic in Government

   Oh wow. My recruiter didn't mention anything about the Army being over strength at the moment. I have the required numbers of hours. At least 750 in the last year. It would definitely be a bummer not to work in the ICU since I enjoy it so much. O...

   Hey Everyone! Hope you all had a good 2015! I am an RN here in NY with three years of Med/Surg (Tele) Experience and almost a year in the CTICU. I was looking to join the military as an RN, I've met with the recruiters and I am now trying to decid...

   Good luck I'm taking mine at 2pm tomorrow I can empathize with you big time right now. On the upside all my friends have passed so far so I'm feeling a little hopeful.

7. NCLEX on Monday Feb 13th

   sch983 replied to PinkNBlue's topic in NCLEX

   What made the test so difficult in comparison to review material that's out there?

8. Taking NCLEX-RN on the 16th and I'm feeling pretty iffy

   sch983 posted a topic in NCLEX

   All my friends from school have all passed with 75 questions so far but I have this waning sense of confidence about Thursday. I did well all throughout school and I got a 70 on the Kaplan Q Trainer and went through the LaCharity book but I'm gettin...

9. Last Question--Is buying the Kaplan Q Bank worth the steep price of admission?

   sch983 replied to sch983's topic in NCLEX

   Bump...still not sure

10. Last Question--Is buying the Kaplan Q Bank worth the steep price of admission?

    sch983 posted a topic in NCLEX

    300 bucks is a little pricey but I'd make the sacrifice is people seem to agree it's helpful. What I've gathered from my readings on the internet is that Kaplan offers the hardest or "most NCLEX-like" questions. I already have their book along with...

11. Being the only guy in my graduating class is pretty lonely

    sch983 replied to sch983's topic in Male Students

    Haha thanks guys this thread made me feel better. I only have three semesters left before graduation so I'll make due. I have Peds/OB in the fall, Psych/Community in the spring and then my final preceptorship where I shadow an RN at a hospital of my ...

12. Being the only guy in my graduating class is pretty lonely

    sch983 posted a topic in Male Students

    I'm due to graduate in Dec '11 and it turns out for that particular year I'm going to be the only guy graduating with this class. The only 4 or 5 guys all managed to get left behind in a class somewhere along the line. Being the only guy in a class...

13. Still can't decide on Army or Airforce

    sch983 replied to sch983's topic in Government

    ^^^ Pretty much what I gathered spot on. Army sounds like the better fit.

14. Still can't decide on Army or Airforce

    sch983 replied to sch983's topic in Government

    What kind's of questions should I ask and stuff I should look out for. I already know if it ain't in writing, it ain't. But beyond that I don't know anyone in the military or have any family members in the military so I'm kind of in the dark on wha...

15. What are the eyesight requirements for Flight Nursing?

    sch983 posted a topic in Government

    I wear glasses and I have astigmatism's, does this disqualify me from ever potentially becoming a military flight nurse? Are the physical requirements of a military and civilian flight nurse different?
