Hi everyone. Just wanted to get some info on maternity leave...my SIL just got off of maternity leave and I believe she was paid her regular salary during the entire 3 months she took off so does this sound right? Or do I have this confused with FM...

Hi again Nurse Pam, Happy Friday! First of all, my recruiter never told me that after working my tooshie off, 12hr night shift, that my "nurse manager" (they will give this title to a monkey in the zoo b/c that's where I felt like I have been the pa...

Yes, of course, me being in the military did have one positive.....unexpectedly I met my beloved husband and we're living happily ever after.....yes, the experience also humbled me in more ways than I can count...I witnessed first hand the true price...

Hi Tia. You will be able to work at a military hospital if that's what you want which may benefit you b/c sounds like you may be moving around some due to your military husband. For instance, if your were to get orders overseas, you would not lose y...

Yes, I was a young, naive nurse when I joined and became an officer....just note that when you "sign on the dotted line" that really means that you are opting for a military "lifestyle" and not just a "job"....Being a military nurse is a 24/7 on call...

Hi Nurse Pam, in the military one must get used to being told what to do, when to do it, and how to do....you get my drift, right? Just finished my very LONG military contract and no I was NOT permitted to work in the area of interest to me and when...

They don't call that place "Crippler" for nothing......very sad......

I just got out of the military after serving out my contract.....If I had to do it all over again......I would NOT do it due to MANY reasons.....best advice.....do your homework and then make an informed decision. Best of Luck!

NO way.....was on DOD contract at a military hospital and I thank God I just finished my term.......with my RN license safe and sound....... LET FREEDOM RING......

OH, I figured it out! Never mind, silly me!!!:selfbonk:

I'm new to the forum.....so, how would I check a private PM if I received one? Thank you for your reply.
