   When I spoke to my recruiter, he had me list the top three specialties in order of preference that I would work. I'm not sure about applying for multiple positions thing, but it sounds like he'd review available positions for the upcoming year and se...

   I'm sure that if you present your experience as a pediatric nurse to a recruiter, he/she might be able to help you figure out where you can fit in. They may have military hospitals that meet the needs of service member's families (such as NICU, L/D, ...

   I definitely have enough experience to qualify for the CEN certification. I think I should be fine, as my experience comes from a larger trauma center.

   That's the general impression I'm getting from my recruiter. He treated my history of shoulder pain, ankle sprain, and minor procedures like they were absolutely disqualifying conditions. He wants to submit my medical accessions packet to MEPS for th...

    That's what I was afraid of. I have been an ER nurse for over two years now, so I'm hopeful I can receive a commission in this specialty. I'm assuming there are opportunities to transfer between specialties once I receive a commission. Please correct...

    Great thread with some great questions. I want to commission as a flight or critical care nurse, but I haven't gotten much in the way of answers from my recruiters. I'd just like to know what the general commissioning process looks like, what I'll ha...

14. Me... Me... Me: A Sense of Entitlement

    aj111991 replied to Joe V's topic in Rock

    I had a similar experience. My CNO had an ex-in-law rehabbing post-surgery. Every hour I asked if he needed anything, and he always denied pain and all other problems. However, when his wife showed up, that all changed. Instead of talking to me a...
