    rockytopRN2b replied to rockytopRN2b's topic in Government, Military

  4. Navy Nurse Candidate Program

    rockytopRN2b replied to rockytopRN2b's topic in Government, Military

    It has to be a BSN...but if you go back to school, you would most likely be eligible for the NCP. Good luck to you! My hubby is an AD Marine also.

  10. How often do you get sick?

    rockytopRN2b replied to metal_m0nk's topic in General Nursing

    rockytopRN2b replied to rockytopRN2b's topic in Government, Military

  16. Curiosity: NET Test Scores

    rockytopRN2b posted a topic in General Students

    I just took the NET this week and scored a 86 composite, which was 96th percentile. Individually, I got 81 percent on math, and 91 percent on reading. This gave me a grade equivalence of "post high...

  18. Pain in childbirth 'a good thing'

    rockytopRN2b replied to Anxious Patient's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I did not read the article, but from my birthing experiences, I would say labor pain was beneficial. With my first, I was younger, scared to death, and begged for an epidural the moment they would...

    rockytopRN2b replied to JasmDasm's topic in General Nursing

    I have to second (or third!) sputum. I don't even know why it makes me want to vomit because it's by far not the grossest thing I've ever seen, but it

    rockytopRN2b posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Does anyone have a copy of the NET Test Study Guide from ERI that they want to get rid of? I tried to buy one off the site but keep getting an error on the order page, and can't find one on eBay or my...

  24. What would be more beneficial, CNA or EMT?

    rockytopRN2b replied to MassADNstudent's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I've done both and would definitely recommend CNA, given the choice between the two. I got to do more medical things as an EMT, but I didn't feel like I did much in the way of actual nursing
