   panman replied to panman's topic in Government

   For what it's worth, just sent off an E-resume to Sergeant Winslow in Mobile. According to her, there is a waiver (OPAR, or something of the nature) for those in specific fields, including psych nursing (66c in recall), who are in the age 60 arena w...

2. Military/Reserves Age Waiver for BSN's MSW's

   panman replied to panman's topic in Government

   Age was why I looked into the Air Force at the time I did but I've seen a number of posts on this website referencing waivers for nurses age 58-60 (at least) but they didn't address details (previous military/whatever). They may have been talking ab...

   SKimmed this forum/website, contacted AMEDD by email and phone - nada to date and while I continue my pursuit I could use any related feedback. I'm wanting to know what the ballpark chances of the military having any interest in someone with the foll...

   The clinical options widening is a real plus. A good clinical experience sets you on the right trajectory. Guess I've been fortunate, I've heard some horror stories. The clincal hours are just token anyway. One small digital image in a panorama t...

   panman replied to justlisamarie's topic in Government

   Finally regarding Lisa's original post, In searching the net, from what I can gather, ADN's are on the way out in terms of acceptance by the army, already for Navy and Air Force. For now anyway - probably the economy - which probably isn't going to...

   panman replied to justlisamarie's topic in Government

   I've been looking into the reserves and wasn't aware there was a military forum on this website - and in looking, I haven't been able to locate one. Could you post a link by chance?

8. Prospects for a FNP with a Psych secondary certification

   panman replied to t2krookie's topic in CNS

   I was a psych nurse for over 20 years then dropped out for a decade and have been looking into PNP as a result. In speaking with a director at UND, sdemp has ditto'd her response. I got an MSW in the 90's cause LCSW's had their act together and PNP'...

   panman replied to VivaLasViejas's topic in General Nursing

   I'm in a similar situation after leaving the field then spending years taking care of my elderly mother. Basically stepped off the planet for a decade and it wasn't quite the same when I returned. But I wasn't the same either. I've always known...

    Here's some corrective, useful, and time/money saving info off the ceu professor site (FAQ). First the corrective: NOTE: Reporting to CE Broker takes place within 5 days following the end of the month. For example, for courses completed in the month ...

    Yeh, in recall, either on the ce broker or ceu professor site they state you won't be audited cause you're CEUS are input into the data bank as they're completed so once you've obtained your 24/26 credits per time frame you're cleared - which makes s...

    panman replied to panman's topic in Florida

    Forgot, I got the ceu professor Florida provider number from their site - they had a link for it. So I assume other ceu providers do the same.

13. How to Verify Florida Approved CEU Providers?

    panman posted a topic in Florida

    I searched the Florida board of nursing site, google, ANCC, and nursing blogs and could find no list of Florida board approved ceu providers. I did see accounts on nursing forums of ceu providers falsely claiming to be board approved, no shock there ...

14. re-entering the nursing field

    panman replied to simirugrat's topic in Career Support

    Reentry is "entertaining" enough having current licensure, therefore having passed boards. My basic problem solving approach is to create a hierarchy of the easiest, cheapest, quickest, least invasive, most reversible, least damaging procedures - a...

15. ANCC certification - does good, or just looks good?

    panman replied to NiteNurz79's topic in Psychiatric

    My first post in this forum. Nice general followup on something I'd kind of wondered about. Got mine in the mid 80's cause the hospital I worked at paid fifty cents an hour extra for it as did others pay sufficient to at least pay for itself. I ke...
