1. Lets Be Friends

   Duffy27 replied to ashley_bird's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I was accepted into the health services program today, just so I can knock out some required classes for the nursing program. I might actually be getting a really good job in a different field soon, but even if I do, I still want to do nursing schoo...

2. Lets Be Friends

   Duffy27 replied to ashley_bird's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I only ever took one psych class in college, thought it was pretty interesting, kind of wish I took more psych classes... My sister is a nurse practitioner and her specialization is psychology, she's also in the Army. We like to say that she broke ...

3. Lets Be Friends

   Duffy27 replied to ashley_bird's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Still a little nervous, it's quite the career change for me but I know I'm not the only person out there to switch to something different.

4. Lets Be Friends

   Duffy27 replied to ashley_bird's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I'll jump in on this. I also was let go from my previous job in my first chosen career field and have had a hard time getting back in the saddle so to speak. I have been an EMT since 2008 and used to work in security at a local trauma center so I f...

5. Navy Nursing Corps.

   Duffy27 replied to Chuckleface's topic in Government

   As long as your school gets the accreditation, I'd give the NCP a shot. Even if they don't get the accreditation in time for you to apply for the NCP, you can still apply for a direct accession as a Navy nurse. I'm in that boat since I already have...

6. Navy Nursing Corps.

   Duffy27 replied to Chuckleface's topic in Government

   A note about the nursing school accreditation... I was also confused about the ACEN and CCNE requirement but I just spoke to my Nurse Corps recruiter today and he told me that the Navy will accept either one for a direct commission as a nurse. The ...

   Either way works for me, glad to see more guys in the field too.

8. Men in Nursing...

   Duffy27 replied to eaglenurse2b12's topic in Male Students

   I was actually surprised that when I when I started mentioning to people I know that I was looking into nursing school, not a one said "Why would you want to do that?" or "But you're a guy...", quite the opposite happened. I got a lot of support fro...

9. My Top 5 Study Tips for New Nursing Students

   Duffy27 replied to RachelP_CRNA2B's topic in Share Tips

   Great advise, I tried out the VARK Questionnaire and it was pretty helpful and spot on. Looking forward to starting classes so I can put all this to the real test.

10. Resources for English section of TEAS 6

    Duffy27 replied to RDanielle98's topic in TEAS

    There is an app I have been using called "ATI TEAS 6 Practice Test 2017". I got it out of the Google Play Store, not sure if it's on iPhones or not. It does a good job with the English sections (and all sections for that matter). If you make a mis...

11. Military nursing at 38

    Duffy27 replied to Macek1's topic in Government

    My recruiter told me that he didn't join the Navy Nurse Corps until he was 39. Was making a point that since I'm only 27 and don't have my BSN yet, I still have plenty of time...

12. Active Duty Navy Direct Accession FY 2017

    Duffy27 replied to DiscGolfNurse's topic in Government

    Right now my bachelors degree is unrelated to nursing. I'm hopefully going to be starting nursing school this spring (at least part time) starting first with my ASN and then transitioning right into my BSN program. I also have a tentative job lined ...

13. Navy Nursing w/ RE3?

    Duffy27 replied to Duffy27's topic in Government

    Thank you very much, I appreciate your help. I'll take another look at that website.

14. Active Duty Navy Direct Accession FY 2017

    Duffy27 replied to DiscGolfNurse's topic in Government

    Going to jump into this with a random question, mostly because it is the most active post that has to do with Navy Nursing. On the Navy's website it says that in order to apply for a direct commission, you need to have your BSN from a school that ho...

15. TEAS test

    Duffy27 replied to littleboyboo's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I have an app on my phone called "ATI TEAS 6 Practice Test 2017 Edition". Found it on the Google Play app store. It runs you through sample tests and wont let you continue until you have answered all the questions correctly, and then will have you ...
