   lasarazen replied to Kellcat's topic in Government

   Interesting about your hippie HS!! Weird, they are doing a disservice to all their students. Anyways! To answer your questions in reverse order: 1. Average student: if you mean grades-wise, possibly. "Average" to me means in that range you mentioned...

5. Active duty navy fy 2016

   lasarazen replied to abautista88's topic in Government

   Hey charliegboma, We may end up in the same ODS class. I am also waiting on scroll/commissioning documents/PCS orders. And I was selected from the June board! I have already spoken to my detailer, so I know where I am PCSing to, but that's about it. ...

6. Best way to be Navy nurse

   lasarazen replied to Kellcat's topic in Government

   Are you saying that you've already started your 2 year program? And there were no traditional BSN programs in your area? If it's not too late to change schools, and there is a BSN program (NOT an RN to BSN bridge, a full time BSN program) in your are...

   Hey there! Are you talking about the class beginning 11 Sep??? This is the last one for FY16 (I believe its Class # 16120, but I'm not 100% sure). I got this info from my detailer, but I don't even have orders or commissioning papers yet....I'm told ...

8. HPSP 2016

   lasarazen replied to mocapoca's topic in Government

   There should be a regulation that your recruiter should be able to refer you to to answer these questions very specifically. HPSP exists in other branches, and Ive seen the Army's and Navy's regs that spell out what is and is not covered by HPSP. Bri...

9. Will taking TNCC help me transition easier to ER?

   lasarazen replied to Lizzie1968's topic in Emergency

   In our ED, it was a requirement to get it within your first 6 months or so (and hospital paid for it, yay). It is helpful to expose you to the emergency nursing way of thinking (I.e., rapid assessment and prioritization of your ABCs), but won't nece...

10. New Grad in the ER

    lasarazen replied to Sarama's topic in Emergency

    Learn to be confident in saying "I'm sorry, but there are more critical patients ahead of you. Your wait time will be according to the severity of your emergency." Or some version of this if I am in the back with fussy, stable, non-emergent patients ...

11. Marine Corps Reserve & Nursing School

    lasarazen replied to nishey94's topic in Government

    It sounds like you aren't sure what your priorities are at this time (which is understandable, given your age). Do you want to be a Marine or do you want to be a Nurse at this time? I would not recommend trying to be in the MC Reserves while you are ...

12. Navy NCP FY 2016

    lasarazen replied to romv3896's topic in Government

    I have exactly 1 year of ER experience (my first RN job right out of nursing school), so was able to be "credentialed" as a 1945 (ER/Trauma nurse), and that is the billet I was selected for. I'm not sure what they do with NCP accessions, but 99.9% su...

13. Navy NCP FY 2016

    lasarazen replied to romv3896's topic in Government

    Hi there! I am not an NCP participant (coming in as a direct accession), but I will be headed to ODS this fall - I just got my selection letter a few days ago, so I don't have a class date/number yet. However! I am a big believer in seeking out mento...

    Just got my selection letter yesterday (Active Duty, credentialed as ER/Trauma), no ODS date yet and haven't talked to a detailer yet either. BUT! Extremely excited to start down this new path in my RN career. I'm hoping to link up with more experien...
