  1. Contacted AMEDD recruiter today

    PurrRN replied to PurrRN's topic in Government, Military

    As I understand it, the direct entry to Active Duty with a BSN in hand does not require a waiver up to age 46.5 years of age. The age waivers come into play if a non BSN graduate is attempting to be...

  2. Contacted AMEDD recruiter today

    PurrRN replied to PurrRN's topic in Government, Military

    Nothin private here . I was enlisted previously, but was med boarded for an ankle injury which wouldn't heal under Army recovery standards. They wanted to reclass me from the job that I'd done for 7...

  3. Contacted AMEDD recruiter today

    PurrRN replied to PurrRN's topic in Government, Military

    UPDATE: Had the meet with the recruiter on Tuesday, and it wen't really well. There are some things that I need to get waivered but he thinks that I at least have a fighting chance, so I guess I'll be...

  4. Hi I am starting LPN nursing school in Oct this fall and I am overweight, My question

    PurrRN replied to tiffany311's topic in General Nursing

    Yep, I agree with everyone else. First semester (last year), I gained about 30 lbs. Partly because of stress, partly because of poor planning. When you are studying SO hard, sometimes everything...

  5. Shoud I add Nutrition to my couse load?

    PurrRN replied to RN2bemommyof3's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Faithful11: It depends on what your goals are now and in the future. If you are in a BSN program that doesn't require it of you, I say don't take it unless you want to. If you are in an ADN program...

  6. Contacted AMEDD recruiter today

    PurrRN replied to PurrRN's topic in Government, Military

    Sounds pretty attractive. Did you PT or anything during the time you were in school? I'm just wondering what type of accountability they are looking for. But you said you didn't have any, so I...

  7. Contacted AMEDD recruiter today

    PurrRN replied to PurrRN's topic in Government, Military

    Rme, you graduated NS in May? or OBLC? I'd be interested in your experience with the process if you would like to share. The recruiter has indicated that while in the monthly stipend program, I...

  8. Contacted AMEDD recruiter today

    PurrRN replied to PurrRN's topic in Government, Military

    I was a little taken aback that he wanted to come and see me so soon, especially since he'll be traveling about 2.5 hours one way to see me. But I suppose recruiters do what they have to do. I'm...

  9. Prospective Nurse

    PurrRN replied to bakpakr's topic in Nursing Career

    Welcome bakpakr to the wonderful world of allnurses.com. I'm also prior military (MP), and I'm finishing my second year ADN program. If you have had some experiences and still think this is the path...

  10. Shoud I add Nutrition to my couse load?

    PurrRN replied to RN2bemommyof3's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Depends on your school curriculum, so you need to ask someone who has taken it at YOUR school. My school that I am currently attending required it and it was basically what you would think of when...

  11. please help me

    PurrRN replied to Ladycat092's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I'm a little confused about how you lied. There is no requirement to be an RN to be a part of the allnurses.com forums, just the desire to learn and get to know others. In answer to your question,...

  12. What's the proper way to address an NP?

    PurrRN posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Just curious about what the proper way to address an NP would be. I'm always a little unsure about if I'm supposed to address them as Mr./Mrs. so and so, Nurse practitioner so and so, or what. I...

  14. Army PT Test

    PurrRN replied to richardjboro1's topic in Government, Military

    For an enlisted male 37-41 the min requirements are Push-ups:34, Sit-ups: 38, and run: 18:18. That's the 60 in each

  15. nursing school

    PurrRN replied to parkergirl19's topic in General Nursing

    WOW, triplets. What a blessing and a burden all in one. I've got twins and a single 23 months apart (6,6,4) and it was pretty rough on me until about a year and a half ago (when I finally got a full...

  16. WWYD? Summer school

    PurrRN replied to krenee's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Sorry about that, wasn't trying to scare you! :rotfl: But honestly, I do think that preparedness is the KEY to success in this environment and part of that is the knowing that you will work your...

  19. Patho II BEFORE Patho I!!!

    PurrRN replied to aerorunner80's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Not everyone can do something like that and be successful. But if you believe you have the skills and the time to invest in the studying involved (considering you may have to cover more info just to...

  20. 37 weeker NICU stay possible...

    PurrRN replied to bluepenguin's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    My twins boys were delivered at 37+4 due to pre-ecclampsia issues. Neither required any O2 support or specialized care. Now they are 6 years old and are terroriffic :) . I hope things go as well...

  21. Active Duty work hours?

    PurrRN replied to PhWanC's topic in Government, Military

    I can't say what the med corps does specifically, but as a former soldier and wife of a Drill Sergeant, I will say that "normal" work hours don't apply as civilians know them. My husband goes to work...

  22. Curious about ADN vs ASN

    PurrRN posted a topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Okay, so this is probably not as important as some of the other topics discussed on our board, but I've got to say that it's been kind of bugging me for a while, so I thought I'd throw it out to hear...

  23. Curious about ADN vs ASN

    PurrRN replied to PurrRN's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Thanks for your insight RNsRWe. I didn't realize that not everyone gets IV training in school. See? I'm still such a newbie, I didn't know

  24. Curious about ADN vs ASN

    PurrRN replied to PurrRN's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I thought an ADN denoted diploma nursing. Thanks for clarify for me. However my initial post about the differences still stands. She gets 2 more semesters than me but upon graduation I'm supposed...
