1. Interesting Situation (Thoughts?)

   lselvio replied to asneakyseal's topic in CCU

   I am confused about "treat the SVR directly". CO and SVR are inversely related. If CO is down, then SVR has to be high....correct? It is my understanding that the SVR is a calculated number, not a measured number.

2. Hospitalist NP Certification ever be likely?

   lselvio replied to Bumashes's topic in NP

   I recently exchanged emails with someone at the organization behind the consensus model. We were discussing certifications, like the one you mentioned regarding the ER. She stated that certifications, according to the model, do not change the patie...

3. Army or Navy

   lselvio replied to lselvio's topic in Government

   I asked about it, but both recruiters said something along the line of "if grad school is your goal, the reserves don't really have good programs to help with that".

4. Army or Navy

   lselvio replied to lselvio's topic in Government

   Good thought. The last part of what you said is my reasoning as well. Serving, even if I hate it, could be a meaningful experience. I'm thinking Navy because it's a 4 year deal and not 8, if it does suck then I'm out sooner.

5. Army or Navy

   lselvio replied to lselvio's topic in Government

   That is definitely good insight. Yes, prior to this thread, in my head there was this impression that everyone was grateful and compliant because they're military, lol. Obviously that was naive. From a personal standpoint I still feel that serving...

6. Army or Navy

   lselvio replied to lselvio's topic in Government

   Recruiter stated one tour before eligible. As it is now, I have to wait 5 years before being able to obtain grad PLUS loans (meaning I can't pay for it now). So, worse case scenario, I join, decide it's not for me, get out after 4 years, and use GI...

7. Army or Navy

   lselvio replied to lselvio's topic in Government

   I was thinking mostly deployments, I guess.

8. Army or Navy

   lselvio replied to lselvio's topic in Government

   That is food for thought. May I ask how old your step daughter was? My daughter is 7 at the moment, and i have a good relationship with her.

9. DNP should be the Minimum Entry Practice

   lselvio replied to nqe9650's topic in General Nursing

   While I disagree with most of the language of the OP, I understand where they are coming from. Advanced practice nurses, as a whole, strive for the same independent rights as physicians, particularly in primary care. And yes, while the studies show...

10. Army or Navy

    lselvio replied to lselvio's topic in Government

    Thanks! Sometimes it's just cathartic to put some things in writing. Makes one think about it a little more than just tossing it around in your head, ya know?

11. Army or Navy

    lselvio replied to lselvio's topic in Government

    Right, and I think I understand that pretty well. But you for example (hopefully not too personal), were you excited to go between homes? I envision my daughter being excited to see places I won't get to show her otherwise, and to come spend time wi...

12. Army or Navy

    lselvio replied to lselvio's topic in Government

    And that is what I'm hoping. Yes the money and having school paid is certainly appealing. But for the last 12 years it's been "work, home, work, home" and I don't really fee I've done anything. I see the military as a way to....add prestige?....to...

13. Army or Navy

    lselvio replied to lselvio's topic in Government

    I envisioned the guys being grateful and compliant since their job relies on them being healthy. Or that they have just been injured fighting. Something other than the same non compliance I see now. Correct, I have to wait until May 2018 to submit...

14. Army or Navy

    lselvio replied to lselvio's topic in Government

    I have talked to both recruiters and both have said as long as the foreclosure is finalized, they do not see it as an issue. Getting school paid for is obviously a big incentive, but that is not the primary reason for joining. I initially contacted...

15. Army or Navy

    lselvio replied to lselvio's topic in Government

    I realize I never posed a question. For those of you, navy and/or army, I am just looking for thoughts. Specifically as it pertains to a shared custody situation with my daughter from the first marriage. The navy is a shorter route if she doesn't ...
