1. Compression socks yes or no?

   usafrn833 replied to Christina_'s topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

   I wear the 15-20 knee length compression socks. I was on call one night and got called in. When I was getting dressed, I forgot to grab compression socks and I could tell the difference at the end...

   I realize this is an old topic, but was anyone able to find someone to shadow in the Tampa (or surrounding)

3. GI bill

   usafrn833 replied to usafrn833's topic in Government, Military

   Hi Ray, I moved forward with my plan to get my MSN while obtaining the required ICU experience for CRNA. I'm halfway done with the MSN program and I'm glad I did it. In a few short months, I'll...

4. Flight nursing in reserves

   usafrn833 replied to Jwhitfield9's topic in Flight, Surface Transport

   I flew civilian rotor before joining AD Air Force to fly. There are only 4 AD flying squadrons and there are oodles and oodles of reservist locations, so your odds are good if that's what you want to...

5. ICU requirement

   usafrn833 posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

   Greetings everyone! I was wondering if anyone had any input regarding ICU requirements for CRNA admissions. I've looked at prior postings and didn't see anything recent. Most schools mention "ICU...

6. Selecting a school

   usafrn833 replied to usafrn833's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

   I disagree that AD produces "half ass" providers. I know many who have completed advanced degrees while on AD. I not sure why it was assumed I'm AD as well. Georgetown has a clinical assist team...

7. Selecting a school

   usafrn833 replied to usafrn833's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

   Oh wow! Thanks for that feed back of the program. I wonder if it's because they were the first and potentially had kinks to iron out. I've looked on this site for reviews of all the programs I applied...

8. Selecting a school

   usafrn833 replied to usafrn833's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

   The school with the log on times won't allow me to begin until I return, which defeats the purpose of having something to combat boredom while deployed, but I understand and respect it. They assist...

9. Selecting a school

   usafrn833 replied to usafrn833's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

   I'm leaning towards the program that does not require log in times. Clinical placement is student driven and that's my biggest concern. I could start when I return, but you have an abundance of time...

10. Selecting a school

    usafrn833 replied to usafrn833's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Thanks for the input! I made a spreadsheet for each school that included cost, any in person requirements or required log in times (all are online programs), length of the program, how many...

11. Selecting a school

    usafrn833 posted a topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Hi, I'm curious how others chose their school. I've been accepted to 5 programs and there are pros and cons to all of them. I've read other forums specific to the schools and there are good and bad...

12. GI bill

    usafrn833 replied to usafrn833's topic in Government, Military

    Thank you for the replies! I'm quite positive I turned down the MGIB when I joined, so I believe the only thing available for me is 9/11. My intention was to use this for CRNA school when I will be a...

13. GI bill

    usafrn833 posted a topic in Government, Military

    BLUF: Will the GI bill cover expenses for two MSN degrees? What is the cap on GI bill (is it monetary value, time limitation, or both)? Background: My career goal since RN school has been CRNA. I've...
