1. Army nurse recruiting

   newbsn replied to Castle bean's topic in Government

   Thanks Dranger As I said in previous posts, I've been away from the bedside for a bit, with the exception of teaching. I'm now masters prepared and in CM. All of my certs with the exception of the CCM are expired. TNCC, I can renew, but the CCRN...I ...

2. Army nurse recruiting

   newbsn replied to Castle bean's topic in Government

   Thanks again Lunah. I will check with my local AMEDD. I did see that the ISP will no longer be offered for M9 identifier...only 66c,e,8a,t, etc. This leads me to believe the other areas (CM, med-surg, etc) are definitely over strength. I'm curious, I...

3. Army nurse recruiting

   newbsn replied to Castle bean's topic in Government

   This truly breaks my heart. I've started early with letters of recommendations, as per my recruiter. Many of the unit docs I worked with are COLs and one a bit higher up the food chain is a Rear Adm. It appears I'm lacking enough hours in a day to ge...

4. Army nurse recruiting

   newbsn replied to Castle bean's topic in Government

   Thanks Lunah, this info is great to know. It's amazing that the AMEDD recruiter did not share this.

5. Army nurse recruiting

   newbsn replied to Castle bean's topic in Government

   Unless you have something immediate to offer the Army (any specialty certs, for example?), they're probably going to be spending more time on those who are specialty nurses. Also, the selection boards are held once a year now, in November, so you'd ...

6. Last names on ID badges and retaliation by patients

   newbsn replied to ICRN2008's topic in Relations

   I work in a locked trauma ICU. The fact that you have to be buzzed onto the unit should speak tons. Many of the nurses on my floor have the same issue with our health system placing our full names on badges. It is indeed very dangerous for our full n...

9. Chi Eta Phi?

   newbsn replied to LuvaNurse04's topic in General Nursing

   There are NO organizations that are EXCLUSIVE to African-Americans. That just appears to be the only group that want to join. There have been Caucasian members inducted to ALL of the organizations, they cannot discriminate b/c of color.

    newbsn replied to UM Review RN's topic in General Nursing

    i do agree that na's and unit sec's cannot do the same tasks as licensed personell, but having worked my way through nursing school as a cna...i will tell you that those nurses who became my 'friend' and bent over backwards to make sure that i wasn't...

12. BSN's vs. Community college

    newbsn replied to cottoncandyclouds's topic in ADN/BSN

    It does make you wonder if you are getting the real thing... The accelerated BSN programs are designed for experienced ADN's and LPN's. The theory behind it is..you've already got the basics and the experience, they're just going to build on that and...
