  1. Deployment environment for military nurses

    Hi, I'm finding this thread very interesting. I'm an Army wife and brat, and wanted nothing more than to join the Army as a medic (still would). Athsma disqualified me, but I'm hoping I can get into the Army Nursing Corps when I get my license (whi...

  3. Confused in San Antonio...

  4. Wow, thanks for that info. They have a CC out here that still does the diploma, which is why I was wondering. I wonder why they haven't phased it out. What's the difference though between an Associates of Science and an Associates in Art when it ...

  6. That's sad. What are people thinking? You're right, that's just plain stupid and I believe should be a crime.
  7. Ahh...ok, that's what I thought. Thanks. :) So...Brittanyrenee...why do you say that RN's obtained by a diploma program are few and far between? Is it because people try to get higher degrees later on like EricEnfermo said and therefore there aren...
  8. I'm really kinda new to all the acronyms and to how nursing itself works degree and "rank" wise, so I'm sorry if I sound really silly here. My question is....what is the difference between an RN and all the other "N's" (ADN, BSN, MSN.....). I know wh...

    Thank you very much, that info helps a lot. :)
  10. OOOHHH!!! Gocha. Ok...I thought was all fancy shmancy. Thanks so much!
  11. I was looking at a website that required people to have an unrestricted RN licence to apply for the position(s). How would you get one of those? Is it only attainable through California? I heard that getting your RN in California keeps you from hav...

    Thanks for that bit of info. As for the support system I have, my SIL, which I'm pretty close to is here and has offered to help. I also have a few of my DH's co-workers and their wives offering help, however little it may be I'm sure I can find so...

  15. El Paso/Las Cruces?

    Hi everyone! I was born and raised in El Paso, and even though it's "home" to me, I would also never go back. Part of me really does LOVE it, the people there are sooo nice and if you're into backyard parties and clubbin, then it's great. It's "hom...
