   futurern123 replied to futurern123's topic in General Nursing

   Thank you. For some reason it made me feel better for someone to just put it in perspective!!! I guess I should prob call the VA BON and ask if I need to cancel my application or something like that as well. thank you again!

   futurern123 posted a topic in General Nursing

   I am so stressed out over this. Any help would be greatly appreciated- I'm just worried because I've worked so hard and don't want to screw this up! So I live in VA. My professor told us we need to apply for a license in our home state first, and the...

4. Asthma and military

   futurern123 replied to futurern123's topic in Government

   Hmm..yea I wouldn't hide it, I guess even if it means not getting into the military. It was "diagnosed" when I c/o feeling breathless when I woke up in the am (I think it was more due to the old carpet in my room and my cats). It went away at college...

6. Asthma and military

   futurern123 replied to futurern123's topic in Government

   Yea, I don't know what to do. Some places say you can get a waiver, others you can't. Plus I don't know if it is different for nurses vs actual combat soldiers. I will definitely be honest about this, but I hope it doesn't ruin my chances. I wish I h...

7. Asthma and military

   futurern123 posted a topic in Government

   I was just wondering if anyone knows of any nurses in the navy or air force with asthma. I emailed a recruiter and they said to contact a recruiter and I have heard waivers are given. I have never had an asthma attack and I wasn't diagnosed until 2 y...

8. Student strip searched at school...

   futurern123 replied to Aneroo's topic in School

   One of my classmates was suspended for bringing motrin to school. I understand there is zero tolerance, but I think schools take it too far. It's hard to sit in class all day when you have killer cramps. It seems like there should be bigger things to...

9. George Washington Hospital New Grads...?

   futurern123 replied to futurern123's topic in Washington DC

   It seems like most of the hospitals around here have a 2 year contract..I wonder if that is just for new grads because of our training costs?

10. Navy or Air Force?

    futurern123 replied to futurern123's topic in Government

    Thanks everyone.... So once you join, is there some type of training camp you have to go through? Is it like boot camp?

11. Navy or Air Force?

    futurern123 posted a topic in Government

    I am considering joining the military. I will graduate with my BSN in less than a month. Does anyone have any advice on which branch to join? I have heard the air force treats its employees better, but that's about all I know. I just wanted to hear s...

12. Impossible to find a job in this area

    futurern123 replied to AnnaC's topic in Virginia

    Kamna- thanks. I guess I just have to be patient. It's just frustrating. I apply for jobs at CNMC and then the next day I get an email that says the opening you applied for has been filled. I did go to the job fair but this is the the first "real" jo...

13. Impossible to find a job in this area

    futurern123 replied to AnnaC's topic in Virginia

    Yes the job situation here is terrible! I have had no luck, same as most of my classmates. VHC and INOVA have no positions last I checked. It seems no one wants the new grads! I have looked in every area-I'll take anything at this point.

14. Any Info on Children's National?

    futurern123 replied to ChristineN's topic in Washington DC

    I guess this is not a local issue then. Hopefully the experience will help you get a job- good luck!

15. Any Info on Children's National?

    futurern123 replied to ChristineN's topic in Washington DC

    The new grad situation in this area is not very good. I went to the open house at children's a while back and they don't have many jobs available. I didn't hear anything about a sign on bonus, although that would be great. I think the problem is that...
