   One option is to direct commission as a nurse. Reclass to NP once in. NP need isn’t as high as the bedside nurse. Might be more difficult to make selection as NP when you would make the selection as RN with MSN. Would probably still come in as same...

3. What is it like in your hospital right now?

   brap740 replied to FloatFNP-C's topic in COVID

   Funny what real life is like vs what the media reporting on. every media story has full hazmat suits. All kinds of PPE. Projecting thats the entire nation. Not saying there aren’t places overrun or discounting those situations. But majority seems ...

   You have to admit this punitive bs needs to stop. If a nurse brings their own masks in and wants to wear them, so be it. where will that write up ever go? as long as you can justify your actions write ups don’t mean anything, they’re as worthless ...

6. Can the Government force us back to work?

   brap740 replied to rosepetals's topic in COVID

   I would like to remind everyone here: We don’t work for the government. The government works for us. Majority of nurses are hired “at will” anyway, so to me I can quit at will too, and GOVT can’t force me to come work for any reason. “We the peopl...

7. The ANA is killing nurses

   brap740 replied to DannyBoy8's topic in COVID

   Nursing unions are the weakest I’ve ever seen. teamsters are visciously strong, and they drive trucks. They don’t hold a professional license to care for the sick. Step up nurses. Get as viscous towards process issues and administration as you ...

10. The Nightingale Pledge.

    brap740 replied to waufah's topic in COVID

    I think many of us are asking this question now: ”Do I really want to care and work for an organization that clearly doesn’t care about my own well being?” Scary part is, I beleive we are all finding out exactly how little organizations care about th...

11. What is it like in your hospital right now?

    brap740 replied to FloatFNP-C's topic in COVID

    Well I’m glad a sample from the entire country shows much of the same. no PPE, no clear directive and massive amount of hours being cut to save the bottom line. Seems to me nobody knows how to bend and adapt for a crisis. If there is no policy ...

12. Why hasn’t pay increased? Hazard pay, etc.?

    brap740 replied to gcupid's topic in COVID

    And we can all start by standing together. Instead of tearing eachother apart. You know why physicians run hospitals ? Because they stand together! nurses kill eachother. And when we can get past that and stand together, and allow administrator...

    brap740 replied to gcupid's topic in COVID

    Because generally hospitals don’t care about their employees. They don’t care about the nurses. They care about their bottom lines. we are in a world wide pandemic to which the federal govt has stated they will provide relief in grants/loans and tax ...

    256 csh. Blacklick Ohio. As far as bolc. You'll do bolc phase 1 online. It's like 80 hours of online instruction. And then you'll go to bolc phase 2 in Texas. As a reservist you have 2 years to complete it after you start drilling.

15. active duty while attaining an MSN/DNP

    brap740 replied to rnvmei's topic in Government

    A lot of schools claim to be military friendly. Still here are asshat professors who will you give you ****. I experienced that in my program. Msn programs are easier in the reserves in my opinion. That way you can work part time at most, drill and...
