    USAGPAN 2020

    Speaking for most of the FY19 direct commission cohort, we didn't receive our orders until December. I didn't actually swear in until late December only a few days after my orders were cut. I was in the same boat you are now. There's a lot of back an...

    If my information is correct, I believe today is the last day of the Army boards. Hopefully soon we'll get another update on the status of our application/scroll. I can't see how Baylor would issue acceptance letters if they didn't receive assurances...

    Documenting Ultrasound Guided PIV's

    Add one small click box that says "Ultrasound-guided" or "USG," if you absolutely must. If you are a registered nurse who places ultrasound-guided peripheral IVs, then you already know how time-consuming they can be. This skill is usually practiced i...
