  1. Can I join military as an LVN?

    Jedi_Iatros replied to Lfransis's topic in Government, Military

    First of all, the Army's trying to change the whole LPN classification from 91WM6 to some other MOS classification (I remember when Mike 6's where 91Charlies). I forget, don't really care. Secondly,...

  2. Can I join military as an LVN?

    $175? I make that in 7 hours as a civilian LVN here in California. You need to go PLDC and get promoted to staff sergeant

  3. Civilian Hospitals vs. Military??

    Jedi_Iatros replied to onesmallspark's topic in Government, Military

    Plus being a soldier, you get to play with interesting military toys like I have the past 10 years. Nothing like going full battle-rattle with 6 m-4/a2/m249 magazines full of 5.56mm bullets and a...

  7. 8 hour or 12 hour shifts

    Jedi_Iatros replied to nursemelani's topic in General Nursing

    I've never worked 12 hour shifts, but I wouldn't mind having more days off. Besides, 4 extra hours isn't a big deal for me since I USE TO WORK 16 HOURS doing doubles and overtime years

  8. How can I give a good report?

    Jedi_Iatros replied to julieK's topic in General Nursing

    Speaking of "rhythm", if you work in a cardiac-telemetry unit, you need to know the cardiac rhythms of your

  9. How do you give report?

    Jedi_Iatros posted a topic in General Nursing

    Do you just spit out the highlights or do you report everything about that patient even thought that pt's been in your unit for weeks? My charge nurse at my other part time job wants just the...

  10. Does the term 'Nurse' bother you?

    Jedi_Iatros replied to Ekklesia's topic in Men in Nursing

    Oh, hell no! If anybody tries that "male nurse" crap with me, I'll be throwing a right hook and a buttstroke with my M-4 Rifle. Wearing my army BDU's more than makes up for my masculinity and...
