  2. Wrong COUNTS....

    Jarnaes replied to RNOTODAY's topic in Operating Room

    Like previous people have said- if the count is off, we tear the room apart, and go through the trash item by item. Missing sponges have been found inside a removed glove in the trash, in the drapes,...

    Jarnaes replied to nursern20's topic in MICU, SICU

  7. Navy Reserve then Active Duty?

    Jarnaes replied to Raicho's topic in Government, Military

    The Navy isn't that short of nurses... that's why they can be selective in who/how many they allow back on active duty. As a matter of fact, the US Army has recently gained quite a few interservice...

    Jarnaes replied to chaosRN's topic in General Nursing

    Jarnaes replied to cari rn's topic in Emergency

    Jarnaes replied to millerb's topic in Government, Military

  18. Internet at work?

    Jarnaes replied to Kait's topic in General Nursing

    Jarnaes replied to luv2shopp85's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    The licensing requirements may differ from state to state, but the NCLEX does not. The NCLEX does not change, no state is harder/easier than another- we all take the same

  25. would new grads be eligible?

    Jarnaes replied to olivedrab's topic in Government, Military
