Today was a really hard day for everyone at work. One of our employees died at the hospital. He was just 24 years old, married with kids. Earlier today I was in a meeting and was called by one of my locally employed staff supervisors and informed tha...

I disagree with your statement about online programs. If anything, they've given more people the opportunity to gain additional education and enhance their professional careers. For me personally, there is no way that I could take 2 years off to beco...

Its not like they take you right out of nursing school. I was rejected my the first time I tried to get on with them because of lack of experience. Also, if you read what wtbcrna stated in his post "Flight nursing in the AF is basically med-surg in t...

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 nurse.

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 provide) AN don't routinely do this. A nurse is usually...

I'd be interested in obtaining any notes, tips, etc. that anyone has. I just sent the application off today and hope to test within 4 months or so. I ordered the Pass CCRN book off Amazon Market place and the darn thing didn't come with a CD Oh well...

First of all let me say that I am an Excelsior graduate and passed the NCLEX first time around. Working on my BSN now and hope to move to MSN after that. Let me say this and I'll be real blunt here, when are these Boards of Nursing going to wake up a...

Well said LCDR Dan!!!!

I just watched an episode of Trauma Life in the ER and Code Blue on Discovery health and observed two different cases. #1 Was a young boy (prob 6 or so) with an almost full amputation of his left arm, midline humerous area due to a boating accident. ...

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 problems and so forth. Women can relate when they're ta...

Lunah, How ya doing? It sounds like you're progressing along in your RN studies. I just started a RN-BSN program. I hope you're doing well. Take care, J

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 :)

It made me one. I passed the NCLEX with 160 questions. I am an RN as of yesterday!!!!! Jack

This is the same Jack :)

First of all, Thank God for his help in getting through this test and thank you all for your thoughts and prayers. Theme songs for this weekend: Never Again by Kelly Clarkson (cause I was never going to take this test again) Gravity by John Mayer (ca...

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 feeding are slim, at least where I was. All of my pa...

I was there when they were filming Combat Hospital, CNNs special they did with the 10th. I was up in Mosul a few times and would watch ya'll unload patients there in the airport. I will contact you offline via PM or e-mail.

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 think I actually quoted the video during one of my l...

It took 7 months from the time I sent the app to the time I got the date. You can take a cancellation date and get in sooner, I just needed a solid date for scheduling leave well in advance. I would have to add up all of the stuff that I paid for. Th...

Hurting us???? I am merely posing this as a hypothetical question. I have pored through every posting on the pros and cons of Acute Care NP vs. Family or Emergency NP (which results in the same license). I still haven't come to a conclusion as to whi...

The reality of this whole thing is that the nursing profession is going through some changes, largely due to the fact that there is a huge shortage of nurses, both regular RNs and APNs. The supply can't keep up with the demand. That is why you see th...

Online is definitely doable while you're over there. I am in the Excelsior Nursing program now and all I have left is the CPNE, which I am taking in June. I studied for the nursing concepts exams while I was in Iraq and took tests while I was on leav...

Sorry to continue this dead thread, but I found this on the Military forum and might help answer some questions. https://allnurses.com/forums/f16/army-reserve-crna-119340.html I had the opportunity to volunteer (I'm a paramedic and RN to be) as a civ...
