  1. Deployments for RNs by Branch?

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

    Thanks. Do you directly know nurses pulling the long or short deployments? As I mentioned above, I would like to separate the rhetoric from the facts... to make my choice based on the truth. "As...

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

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

  8. second try, repackaging application

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

    I'm sorry, I have been reading a lot of posts... Have you actually "graduated" from the program? If not, as strange as it may sound, could you apply for graduation as a BSN? At CSUB, they used to...

  9. BS or logical?

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

    For what it's worth, I work at a county hospital and we have several CNA's that hold an LVN liscense but the county "requires graduation from a certified school." I suspect the same holds true for the...
