    Jeckrn1 replied to labordude's topic in General Nursing

    Jeckrn1 replied to labordude's topic in General Nursing

    Not sure what school you went to but doing the basics is part of being a RN. Not all units have enough aides to do all the baths etc. It is hard be a leader if you are not willing to do the basic...

  11. How would you improve the nursing profession? (beyond better staffing, higher pay, etc)

    Jeckrn1 replied to labordude's topic in General Nursing

    Jeckrn1 replied to J.Adderton's topic in Nursing News

  16. Air Force initial rank

    Jeckrn1 replied to djmatte's topic in Government, Military

    The Army & Air Force will count your ADN time along with your BSN. PHS I believe uses the same standards as the Navy and your ADN time would not count. As far as your E for pay you need 1460...

    Jeckrn1 replied to Kallie3006's topic in Nursing News

  24. Air Force initial rank

    Jeckrn1 replied to djmatte's topic in Government, Military
