1. OR attitudes...

   Jarnaes replied to srhope's topic in Operating Room

   #1 rule in the OR; don't take things personally. One of my jobs as the OR nurse is to protect the patient, staff, time and equipment. So if I see anyone that even looks like they may compromise any of those things, I will bluntly tell them to stop ...

6. Quick question for Army nurses

   Jarnaes replied to kyexplorer's topic in Government

   Congrats on your selection for AECP. Your NCOER should only reflect NCO positions with higher responsibilities than your current job. Once you become an officer, that NCOER doesn't count for anything, but in the unfortunate event that you don't make...

8. CMA posing as nurse...?

   Jarnaes replied to WannaBeNrse's topic in General Nursing

   All I'm going to say in ref. to the CMA posting is that a little knowledge is a dangerous thing. Generally speaking, CMA/MAs have an incomplete comprehension of pathophysiology, pharmacology, anatomy and physiology, and therefore tend to underestima...

9. Fraternization (non-nursing question)

   Jarnaes replied to luvbug080688's topic in Government

   I would be very, very carful. You could gain a lot of unwanted attention from the military intel guys, and possibly lose you clearance, and even go to jail. Are you sure of the intentions of the foreign soldier? You may be one of his/her intel target...

    Jarnaes replied to Yammar's topic in Government

    The military will keep your stuff in storage for a couple of months. Check with Defense Personal Property System (DPS) aka. JPPSO to see how long they will store it. This way you get a bit more time to find an area you like. Good luck.

13. Why do nurses get licensed by a state board instead of a federal board?

    Jarnaes replied to Samian Q's topic in General Nursing

    As far as I know, the various nurse practice acts does not have an extreme difference from state to state. And either way, knowing the local NPA is an individual professional responsibility. We all take the same NCLEX and specialty certification exam...

14. Why do nurses get licensed by a state board instead of a federal board?

    Jarnaes replied to Samian Q's topic in General Nursing

    A nursing license should be just like a drivers license; licensed in TX, but still able to drive in all 50 states. This would make life so much easier. If the compact state agreement went nation wide, this could be everyones reality. Right now, only...
