2. Newly Hired ER Tech - Tips for success from nursing staff

   mistyz23 replied to mistyz23's topic in Emergency

   I guess I'm very fortunate to have worked in an environment where my nurses loved me and I loved my nurses! There were a few nurses that I truly did feel were abusing their seniority though (because they were watching movies or playing video games). ...

3. Newly Hired ER Tech - Tips for success from nursing staff

   mistyz23 posted a topic in Emergency

   Hello everyone! I'm looking for any advice or info to ensure that I am exceeding expectations at my new job. I am a military corpsman that was just gained at a level 2 trauma ER in a fairly small town. Most of my experience is in MICU, so ER will be ...

   mistyz23 replied to Lfransis's topic in Government

   I'm a reservist, so pay is hardly worth your time, if at all. I am waiting on my time in service requirement for staff.

5. Requirement for RN program---N/G insertion?

   mistyz23 replied to nervousnurse's topic in LPN-RN

   I've done a few! And I'm not even a nurse. @#$@^! (I'm a military med tech waiting to challenge the LVN from military experience.. so far I'm just considered an 'EMT'. @#$.)

6. Nursing School vs. Rad Tech school

   mistyz23 replied to RN_2007's topic in Radiology

   My Fiance is a Rad Tech and I am a Nursing student. He says that the comprehension is different because anatomy is used much more than physiology (duh). He said that if you were good at your Anatomy, check it out. You didn't say which course you fail...

7. Feedback needed for a Military Med Tech preparing for the LVN

   mistyz23 replied to mistyz23's topic in LPN/LVN

   Hey! No problem! You must have 12 months of bedside care on a ward through the military. I think it is 51 months of other bedside care in a ward for non-military applicants to challenge it. This is the rule for the California board, and there are a f...

9. How do you decide, RN or LVN?

   mistyz23 replied to Nicole9187's topic in Career Support

   Hey! I'm kinda in the same boat. I was going to be an LVN for a while by challenging, and move on to RN in 2 years. However, a new military med tech to RN program opened up, and I would be able to skip all prerequisites (as long as they are done by g...

11. Military Wife in Need of Answers!

    mistyz23 replied to jerseybornandbred's topic in Government

    I think the major factor in why I would do a separation is that we do not have a family and we're both pretty young still (20's). :)

12. Can I join military as an LVN?

    mistyz23 replied to Lfransis's topic in Government

    Do not enlist as a med tech. You will be disappointed. Thats what I am! I loved my job while I worked in the ICU, but that was very short lived. They are very hard to get into! You do not get to choose your area. You could get stuck taking height an...

13. how strict are they?

    mistyz23 replied to dm22's topic in Government

    Get ready to duck walk and all that fun stuff they have you do at MEPS. I think you would be fine and eligible for a waiver. We have waivers for waivers, you know.

14. Military Wife in Need of Answers!

    mistyz23 replied to jerseybornandbred's topic in Government

    Hello, I'm in the Air Force myself and am getting married in 7 weeks (yay!). I am challenging the LVN soon, and yes, its not the same as classes, but I am in some community college classes to ensure I pass anyway just in case. If I were in your situt...

    mistyz23 replied to Canan's topic in Government

    I'm in the Air Force (enlisted, med tech) and know a few enlisted who had waivers for very minor diagnosed asthma.
