    Beanseye RN replied to kindia's topic in General Nursing

    Make no mistakes, Pyxis, and I assume Omni-Cell, track everything you do. 7 years ago I was tasked with reviewing med recs of patients of nurses who statistically gave more narcs than average. There...

  3. Currently in OBLC

    Beanseye RN replied to newmeafter45's topic in Government, Military

    Hey thanks for getting my hopes up!... No, not really. I have been staring at the minimums for 2 years. But thanks for thinking about setting me straight. :)

  4. Currently in OBLC

    Beanseye RN replied to newmeafter45's topic in Government, Military

    I didn't say I run well. I said I run faster if someone faster than me is running and I push to keep up. Sometimes it works better than others... I only need a time of 18:42 to make 60 points. Age has...

    Beanseye RN replied to newmeafter45's topic in Government, Military

    Just cause and 68Wife-RN, Yes, you explained it just fine. Thanks. Like I mentioned, I run much faster if I have a faster pacer to push me along. Thanks.

  6. Currently in OBLC

    Beanseye RN replied to newmeafter45's topic in Government, Military

    Just wondering about how the run is conducted. Do you run with others on a track or course? I know from experience, I run faster when I run with faster runners. Thanks for the insight.

  10. Army CRNA options

    Beanseye RN replied to Beanseye RN's topic in Government, Military

    Thanks WTB. I will have to hammer that one out. CRNA is not a deal breaker at this point. However, I'm almost ready to submit packet to RN Board (was supposed to be this month, but next is more...

  11. For those who wanted information about joining the Army Nurse Corp, this is for you.

    Beanseye RN replied to live4today's topic in Government, Military

    I am not sure how you might transition, but there are many "fast-track" programs that allow individuals with a BS/BA to earn a MSN in about 2 years. But it might be a path to consider.

  12. I know it's not going to happen

    Beanseye RN replied to crazylilkelly's topic in Government, Military

    For what it's worth, I spoke to an AF Medical officer recruiter who abandoned me. I tried calling and emailing but perhaps he got shipped out somewhere OR didn't want to tell me that the SG of the AF...

    Beanseye RN replied to Princesshawty's topic in Government, Military

    You are still a puppy! I have always wanted to join the military. I was 29 when I realized my family would have starved to death if I joined the USMC. I was 34 when I was divorced and back in school...

    Beanseye RN replied to RNPATL's topic in Government, Military

    Beanseye RN replied to RNPATL's topic in Government, Military

    MayLadyBug, I believe you will need to act quickly if you truly want to make this happen. With your LPN, I think the reserves are possible. But the issue is how close you are to your 46th birthday....
