  5. Going to ODS 9/1/08; what shall I take???

    smattles1of2 replied to pedsBSN-RN's topic in Government, Military

    Also, I use this site to gather info about where to live. But again, take it with a grain of salt. I'm moving to Portsmouth and everyone says that's the worst place to live, but when I visited a few...

  6. Going to ODS 9/1/08; what shall I take???

    smattles1of2 replied to pedsBSN-RN's topic in Government, Military

    Hi! I'm going to ODS Sept 14, so maybe I'll see you there! The ODS website has a list of stuff to take: https://otcn.netc.navy.mil/ODS/index.htm See if that link works, it doesn't seem to be working...

  8. Dream sheet wisdom needed

    smattles1of2 replied to wumpus's topic in Government, Military

    I think lifeafter40 has it right...I think that was the reason. I probably worded it wrong on here. But who knows. This has been the longest ordeal to even get in, so I could care less where they...

  9. Dream sheet wisdom needed

    smattles1of2 replied to wumpus's topic in Government, Military

    That's interesting. My detailer said it was full for now and that Portsmouth was my only option. Oh well! No biggie

  10. Dream sheet wisdom needed

    smattles1of2 replied to wumpus's topic in Government, Military

    Hopefully when you are picking your first duty station it won't be at the end of the fiscal year. I was told Portsmouth was the only duty station available for me. I thought I wanted San Diego, but...

    smattles1of2 replied to lukb42's topic in General Nursing

    Goose Creek is a great area and about 5 minutes from the hospital. I had clinical there when I went to MUSC and it was sooo nice having such a short drive. I'm actually selling my house because I...

  13. Hoping & Praying I Get In!!!

    smattles1of2 replied to RN2BFawnie's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think it's hard to get into Trident Tech. They accept a ton of people, the main problem is the super long wait list. I got in, but decided to go to MUSC instead. You should try for MUSC!...

    smattles1of2 replied to R2ndof7's topic in Government, Military

    For the push-ups and sit-ups, just do as many as you can every day. It'll definitely get easier in time. I do sets of 20-30 push-ups throughout the day totaling 100-200 and then sets of 50 sit-ups...

  15. Thinking about signing up

    smattles1of2 replied to julieGN's topic in Government, Military

  17. Army Reserve Nurse Corps HELP !!

    smattles1of2 replied to joannekuhl's topic in Government, Military

    If your recruiter isn't helping, find another. My first recruiter told me I couldn't get in and wouldn't try and get me a med waiver. I didn't give up and switched recruiters and now i'm in! Just...

  23. How do you study for pharm?

    smattles1of2 replied to Rn-08-NP10-ToBe's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I viewed the pharm questions kind of like vocab on the SAT. You can't possibly know every drug in the world and who knows which 5 drugs, etc. you might get on the NCLEX. That being said, I focused...

  24. Does anyone ever feel confident going into NCLEX?

    smattles1of2 replied to TangoLima's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I felt pretty good going into it. I studied for about 5-6 months and my ERI test said I had a 99% chance of passing. About a week before the test I really couldn't think of anything else to study!...

  25. SATA Q's--I'm not good at them!!

    smattles1of2 replied to marilynmom's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I always did bad on them in practice, but while taking the NCLEX, it was pretty obvious which ones were correct or not. Just go through each option and think, "is this correct or not?" I really...
