   Wisconsinbee replied to veebeeG's topic in General Students

   Rio Salado offers both online, with a microbiology lab. Pricey if you're not from Arizona but classes start frequently, take about 8 or 9 weeks, and are completely online.

2. Anyone dual military - both medical?

   Wisconsinbee replied to Raven Sierra's topic in Government

   Combination of all of it. There are four deployments, about to be a fifth; couldn't PCS together because my job required me to stay at a particular unit (not nursing), multiple training events at training centers, electing to go to IPAP and nursing ...

   Wisconsinbee replied to Raven Sierra's topic in Government

   Yes. My husband is a PA and I am RN both active duty. So far AMEDD has been supportive, but we aren't in the situation you are talking about. He's with a battalion and I'm at a hospital. You most likely won't be in the same chain of command or be...

5. Army Nurse Lifestyle

   Wisconsinbee replied to dizzyelizzy's topic in Government

   I would suggest a dog walker to let the pooch out during the day. Your dog will likely be home alone a lot if you start on a med/surg floor which most all new grad nurses do. Many of the hospitals do 12 hours shifts. It's unlikely you'll be able t...

9. Army Reservist, Nursing School and a deployment

   Wisconsinbee replied to Fenixrisen's topic in Government

   One option I am aware of, besides having a unit that supports your educational efforts, is being accepted for a direct commission before the deployment occurs. According to the Army PPG , 2-8g(1) "An RC Soldier who has been notified of acceptance fo...

10. Army Nurse- Loan Repayment Plan

    Wisconsinbee replied to jmet1020's topic in Government

    I could be incorrect. It wouldn't be the first time the Army has surprised me, especially when interpreting regulations! I was going off AR 601-141 which states the loan must be made concurrently with the attainment of the health care degree. Hope...
