  2. Army vs. AF

    ag01medic replied to hildreth80's topic in Flight, Surface Transport

  3. Army vs. AF

    ag01medic replied to hildreth80's topic in Flight, Surface Transport

    I've been told that flight nurses in the Reserves and Guard get to fly a lot more than active duty ones due. Plus you can join the reserves and go straight in as a flight

  4. Army vs. AF

    ag01medic replied to hildreth80's topic in Flight, Surface Transport

    If you want to be a flight nurse go Air Force. While Army nurses do provide en route care for transports (usually a patient transfer via helo where the patient needs more care than the medic can...

  11. Formulating Healthcare Clinics for the Gay Community

    ag01medic replied to divokevan's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I don't think the intention was a gay ONLY clinic. I think of it this way and by no means is this an absolute. There are times when we feel more comfortable talking to people that understand our...

  13. Taking Patients down in the ER

    ag01medic replied to teeituptom's topic in Emergency

    If you're in a real bind a brachial plexus strike can really stun them and the side effects are short term. It doesn't take much force either. I prefer ketamine spray

  14. Excelsior, it can make u an RN

  17. Passed CPNE in Atlanta

    ag01medic replied to ag01medic's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Choc, Just wait until you've done Lynn's workshop before you get too worked up over this stuff. Things will be simplified and make more sense afterwards. BTW - the odds of you actually doing a tube...

  19. Passed CPNE in Atlanta

    ag01medic replied to ag01medic's topic in Online Distance Learning

    You can buy it through the school or off eBay like I did at a reduced cost. Its not included in your CPNE fee, which adds to the cost. BUT, it gives you a pretty good idea of how the test is run. I...

  22. Becoming an NP with little to no nursing experience??

    ag01medic replied to Blurr156's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner
