Allison, We work at the same hospital; I work on 2E. We have had several problems with different nurses on my floor. One thing you can do about the pain meds problem is write it up in an incident...
I was only deployed for 4 months, but I would deploy again. As soon as I started working back on my floor, I was ready to go back on deployment. Deployments are not for everyone; just like the...
The navy does have NP, even NNP. However, there are fewer billets for Navy NNPs b/c not all navy hospitals have NICUs. So you would be limited to the 3 big: San Diego, Bethesda, or
Just to add on about Navy Nurse's deployments.....I just came off of the ship. However, it was no walk in the park. Even though we were stationed on the ship, we did have to get off the ship to do...
I just got back from deployment, and getting packages from home were always nice! I haven't read all the post so I might be repeating some things. Food: Stuff that doesn't melt or crush. Pringles...
Well everyone the day has come for me to leave and meet my ship. Yes it is very early. I'm gettting that butterfly feeling in my stomach. I'm really excited about my deployment. Its a humanitrian(sp)...
sorry it's been so long since i've posted anything. the internet sucks on here, and i don't usually have the time or the patients to wait for the pages on this site to load. i'll give you all a quick...
So most of the time your command won't deploy you before they think you are ready, any how. They get lists from department heads and DIVOs of people that they think can be deployed. You don't have to...
Hello everyone...sorry for my absence! Being deployed on the ship makes it hard to get on this web site b/c the internet is so slow on here! Any how...to address the op. Ditto to what everyone has...
I'm don't understand why you feel the need to attacked me, but if that makes you feel better about your situation go right ahead. I've always told everyone on here that I work in Peds. I've never...
I worked at the VA as a tech while I was in nursing school, and I loved it! I worked in the ICU/PCU area. The pay was good as a tech, and I know its really good as an RN too. Benefits are pretty good...

LCDR Dan, I don't know of any O Clubs at the Navy bases. There is a bar on North Island that a lot of the pilots go to but its not really on O Club like the one at RI. I heard of my friends going to...
