  1. Navy Nurses..some questions.......

    DanznRN replied to Imissthefall's topic in Government, Military

    Navy takes nurses until age 44 with an age waiver, not sure the process on that, though or how you qualify. LCDR(s)

  2. waiver process

    DanznRN replied to dm22's topic in Government, Military

    I second all of the above and don't listen to the recruiter about it, he/ she is not a doctor. Take all of your documentation with you, especially how long ago it occurred. I have broken every bone...

  3. Navy Nurses..some questions.......

    DanznRN replied to Imissthefall's topic in Government, Military

    Least amount of active duty time right now is 3 years. they are offering $15,000 signing bonus for 3 years. Then you will have 5 years inactive time, no drilling or anything like that. LCDR(s)

  4. Finally some good news!

    DanznRN replied to MCHnurse's topic in Government, Military

    CONGRATS!! Patience, one of the best virtues learned in the Navy. Let us know where you are headed, we can help you get there and settled. LCDR(s)

  5. Questions for new Navy nurses

    DanznRN replied to MCHnurse's topic in Government, Military

    Here is what a typical week looks like, I'm a visual guy. The Ds stand for days and Es are days off. The military loks at its schedule as Sunday to Saturday. Following that miltary logic, you work...

  6. Navy Officer Nurse Corp

    DanznRN replied to MaleRNstudent21's topic in Government, Military

    MaleRNstudent21- As usual, ENS PM has hit it all on the nose. As far as advancing, the Navy has a loose guideline as to what you should do throughout your career to continue to pick up rank. you...

  7. Navy Reserve then Active Duty?

    DanznRN replied to Raicho's topic in Government, Military

    ENS PM- Thanks for the thought and you're right I did O.K. for the first semester, haven't been in school in 10 years. Also during the semester the Mrs. had some medical problems that landed her in...

  8. Why is this taking so long?????

    DanznRN replied to MCHnurse's topic in Government, Military

    MCH- Although GENNAVER as good words of advice, different branches operate on different timelines. The Army list may be out, doesn't mean the Navy one is, so relax. Yes, it is stressful, my DUINS...

  9. Navy Officer Nurse Corp

    DanznRN replied to MaleRNstudent21's topic in Government, Military

    MaleRNstudent21- ENS PM has given very good answers about what life is like in the Navy. First and foremost, the needs of the Navy come before your needs do, you just have to accpet that. So as far...

    DanznRN replied to jyvk's topic in Government, Military

    Wtbcrna- I often find it hard to bite my tongue when I see stuff like this, I like to call people on it. LCDR(s)

  11. Navy Reserve then Active Duty?

    DanznRN replied to Raicho's topic in Government, Military

    Navynurse06- Sorry, I've been busy with finals and what not. Being in DUINS is nice and tough all at the same time. Maybe I shouldn't have taken 15 hours my first semester, oh well, the rest of the...

  12. Military nurse from India (MNS)

    DanznRN replied to jyvk's topic in Government, Military

    My military sense is tingling. Your going to have to give a bit more background on yourself. Why would a nurse have info regarding counter-insurgency? Something is not right about your post and no...

  13. Navy Reserve then Active Duty?

    DanznRN replied to Raicho's topic in Government, Military

    The Navy is short on nurses, every service is short. It's a time when nurses can go from one service to another pretty easily, some just going where they think the grass is grenner. You'all have to...

  14. The Navy Big 3

    DanznRN replied to KAINETX's topic in Government, Military

    True, you will have plenty of time to get around to one of the Big 3. However, you will be an Ensign and that is all the detailer will see, so you are going to need to talk to someone up front about...

  15. The Navy Big 3

    DanznRN replied to KAINETX's topic in Government, Military

    I too am curious, it can happen though. However, the Navy likes to put people at one of the Big 3 so the new nurse can get more exposure. Now if you have been practicing for a while, then I'm with...

    DanznRN replied to MaleRNstudent21's topic in Government, Military

    MaleRNstudent21- Hello, my name is LT Dan D'Aurora and I have been a nurse in the Navy for 9+ years, I happen to be male. I personally disagree with the term "male nurse," I'm a nurse just like...

  17. Navy, BS/ADN?

    DanznRN replied to LZRN's topic in Government, Military

    The original post did and that is what I responded too. I was not turning this into an age discrimination discussion. I wanted to put out why the military does it they way they do as it has been...

  18. Rank upon entry

    DanznRN replied to KAINETX's topic in Government, Military

    This is one of those areas wher the military meets the civy world. Yes, nurses are given credit for their time as a BSN. My wife was an ADN for 5 years and got nothing when she came in with her BSN....

  19. Navy, BS/ADN?

    DanznRN replied to LZRN's topic in Government, Military

    Not sure what happened

  20. Navy, BS/ADN?

    DanznRN replied to LZRN's topic in Government, Military

    Tiggertoo- This is not about age discrimination, you apparently misconstured some of what I said. You're focusing on that one point and not the whole answer. The military is different than the civy...

    You West Coasters and your being 3 hours behind us, it's almost past my bedtime. Have a good evening. LCDR

  22. ROTC Questions

    DanznRN replied to DLS_PMHNP's topic in Government, Military

    Diane- I am active duty Navy, however there are some things that go across all services. Irrelavant of how you come into the military most, if not all, commitments are for 8 years. The key is how...

  23. Questions for new Navy nurses

    DanznRN replied to MCHnurse's topic in Government, Military

    Sorry, just got around to getting here today, not ignoring. Anyway, I agree with what ENS PM has said. As far as CEUs, check with your individual state because my state doesn't require me to submit...

  24. Army, Air Force, Navy -What fits personality better?

    DanznRN replied to Care&Joy's topic in Government, Military

    Ah, I stand corrected, it's reserve vs. active duty, got it, thanks. LCDR

  25. Nurse Corps by the Numbers

    DanznRN replied to crazy_judo's topic in Government, Military

    Not sure why that matters, but the Navy tries to keep about 3,000 nurses, I think we are down to around 2,200 more or less now. There is a shortage as I'm sure you are aware. LCDR
