Not anymore. We left in 2010 and everyone I worked with has left/PCSd. Here are the numbers to Civilian Personnel maybe they can assist you. DSN Phone:590-5359 CIV Phone:06371-9464-5359
I am in the process of being hired on for an EFMP coordinator/Special Needs Coordinator RN position with a contract company. I have been asked to submit salary requirements. I have tried searching for a salary range and haven't found much. I have bee...
I moved to OKC in 2011 and at the time I had just under 5 years of working experience (I have been a nurse longer, but I had employment gaps due to having a child and relocating due to husband's work). They offered me $22/hr plus some change. This wa...

Thank you so much for you input. After I posted my question I took some time looking at similar job postings. I was kind of thinking along those lines already but wanted to make sure I wasn't too far out there.

It is a contract position in an Air Force hospital. I found a few other listings for contract positions at other Air Force bases with other companies, which did not list salaries. I found some Army listings on USA jobs with a wide range of salaries f...
I definitely don't think you're crazy. I am not currently working but worked 5 yrs in L&D then left it for outpatient wound care for similar reasons: burn out, kids starting school, daycare hours, traveling husband, etc. I liked the hours of woun...
I'm in Japan as well. We've been here for a year and I have been out of nursing for the same amount of time. We're here for three more years and it's not very likely I will work for the remainder of my husband's tour. I will have had a four year brea...
I am in the application process for a contract job at a military base overseas. I have been wondering the same thing. I am going to send you a PM. I attempted to send and PM, but I kept receiving an error message, sbain51. The application process has...
I worked as an RN at LRMC when my husband was stationed at Ramstein a few years ago. I called the unit I had experience in directly and the manager interviewed and hired me, but the hiring process took several months. I happened to luck out since the...
YES, YES, a thousand times YES! I am an L&D nurse as well and at my last L&D job we were required to float to all floors of the hospital to include the ICU. I was one that hated floated to any floor other than Mother-Baby. I was once floated ...
Are you referring to Hurricane (Benzocaine) spray? I work in an outpatient wound care clininc and it is used along with 4% topical tetracaine in our clinic prior to debridement.
I know you are not currently looking, OP but if you are able to work nights etc. it may be easier to land a non-OB position. Due to my personal circumstances I was looking for a 8-5ish, no weekend, holiday or call type job. Those are hard to come by!
I completely agree with Klone. I also went into OB straight out of nursing school and worked there for 5 years. Two years ago, when we had to relocate for my husband's job, I knew that I was not going to be able to work the floor due to several dayca...
Are you wanting to stay in OB? My husband is in the military so we relocate every couple of years. With this past move, daycare hours, school transportation and my husbands work hours made L&D floor nursing not possible. I had 5 years of only L&a...

There is also OU Edmond. They opened a gorgeous L&D unit last year. I don't work L&D at the moment so I am of no help as far as where to work or anything like that. They do have one open position, but it's full time nights. Also, I am not sur...
I worked 5 years in L&D and I currently work in an outpatient wound care clinic. I never thought I would work wound care. I don't love it, but the hours work for my family right now and I work with some amazing people. I am a military spouse and ...
I attended a Hurst review in 2005 as well. It was excellent and I highly recommend it. I agree with one1morestep. I passed the NCLEX with 75 questions and I had an ABG analysis question I would not have gotten correct if it wasn't for the way ABGs we...

We don't use KCI that often in our clinic, as our doc prefers a different company but I am going to try using the spiral cut next time that is a great idea.
