I have a good friend getting this nhsc loan repayment. He loves the money and happens to want to live in BFE, but he's stuck even if he wanted to move and almost had to due to an exigent circumstance. He coniders it a nail biter.

I ran into a physician not doing their sort of quality control aspects of collaboration. It was a very flighty doctor who had trouble doing anything (no exaggeration) in life and wasn't avoiding the work out of any adversarial reason. The physician's...

Hello, nurses. I've just started following this forum and felt the need to log in and ask clarification with army reserve direct commissioning. I'm loving the military threads. If the other services's procedures extrapolate to my army RC question,...

I think he's probably talking about AMEDD Professional Medical Command and got lost in the idealized lifestyle polished by recruiters. APMC is for medical reservists who aren't in proximity to a drilling site. So they hang out with a non-medical sit...

Outpatient. Closes on weekends, holidays, nights, and rarely is the patient belligerent. It's all perspective. Inpatient gets people on meds that can't be funded on the outpatient side with little idea of what outpatient care will entail despite mo...

MPH and doctorate in that field, PhD in DrPH.

I feel like salaries have decreased n from employers I've talked with. I took a job with a base pay and productivity pay model, after several years left, and my replacement was offered 20k less in base and no productivity. Being paid for "quality" i...

I'd like to make your acquaintance particularly if you have any how it works for reservists. Good luck with BOLC! I I'm hoping to make the October board as the only 66R but may be held up by a medical waiver.

Yeah, the flight medics tended to be the best medics in that their tradecraft was best honed. I knew several that became RNs to get a pay bump and be able to push more meds but stayed in the birds They were already ninja experts and when they got tir...

Most of the time it isn't, but like anything in life it has the potential to be very unsafe because it's a completely uncontrolled environment. The partner (EMT basic) that usually worked with me was morbidly obese and incapable of most physical effo...

Actually, he's telling something another recruiter once spoke of to me. It's a program for seriously demanded medical specialties that the reserves needs but allows for them not to attend drill. There are other obligations of course including direct...

You'll probably be fine. When I took advanced health assessment, unfortunately, it seemed more focused on assessing. We could all learn to conduct various assessment techniques then be left wondering, "ok, but what does this tell us?" Our advanced p...

I actually thought I'd want to become a CRNA. It's why I went to nursing school. I hated hospitals and couldn't stay in confined in an ICU long enough to get the requisite experience. I did ER, but they move around a lot and are less structured there...

I vote for something exotic like the Department of State. Get some primary care and emergency training. Pick up some extra certs like remite practitioner, EMT, WEMT, audit an ATLS course, go to some procedure boot camps, and treat and train embassy a...

When I was in paramedic school back around 2001 this was discussed. It strikes me as sort of a time suck to be doing anything like suturing, etc on an EMS call. Having been in EMS, most of the houses weren't houses I'd want to sit down in without roa...

The differences will likely be with the organization who owns or leases the test machine OR the insurance company reimbursing although I've never had one deny imaging let alone labs.

I'm sorry, but holistic treatment can be addressed by any walk of life. You need not double degrees to do it. To the harsh truth, there isn't really a realm that an inexperienced SpEd teacher / inexperienced pediatric NP is going to work together. M...

Just to add a different mindset, inpatient psych, in my experience, always has a FNP or similarly scoped physician round to do H&Ps and address what limited medical issues in house that may come up. I couldn't accurately grade a DTR if my life d...

Doctor means teacher. You're looking for an EdD. Probably a tad less costly and involved than a PhD. Nursing, adult Ed, or higher ed admin are field to look into. I have non nurse friends with EdD's. One is a mechanic, his choice. I think the dean ...

Can you matriculate to doctoral public health programs without training? The MPH or MSPH seem to be the entry level credential in that field from whenceforeth one chooses public health specializations, eh research. Maybe you could be like Kate Winsl...

I really don't know anything about nurse progression at the VA as I have accepted employment but am vacationing before I begin. However, I did have to submit a narrative for the four dimensions of nursing. I'll start a non-administrative advanced pr...

I can't answer the army specific questions as I'm applying for commissioning as well. I am applying for two medical waivers (hypertension and another) for a high need, missioned area of concentration. I do believe without experience or certification ...

Air force recruiters are hard to find, and everyone I've spoken to has been a complete jerk. Having said that, the application process is long. You will go to officer training. I believe COT is five weeks. Google that. Regarding civilian employment...

Keep us posted on the adventure.
