  1. interviewing with NP and Chief Nurse (air force)

    roxxy3773 replied to mt_nurse's topic in Government, Military

    My misunderstanding...I thought when you said that the base pay was never tax exempt that it was more of a generalized statement, not specific to overseas pay. Sorry about that!

  2. interviewing with NP and Chief Nurse (air force)

    roxxy3773 replied to mt_nurse's topic in Government, Military

    I was just reading through this post and wanted to add my experience from the Army standpoint in regards to taxing and deployments. When a service member is deployed to a combat zone (Iraq,...

  3. air force nursing questions

    roxxy3773 replied to jeanette21's topic in Government, Military

    I know it has been quite a few months since the last post, but I was reading this today and wondering how Spencer made out with the process? Also, with your experience, did you enter the AF at a...

  4. Given the current job market, when should I start applying for jobs?

    roxxy3773 replied to RDH1's topic in General Nursing

    I would start finding out when the new graduate applications are due for the hospitals you are interested in. For example, when I graduated in May, we had a local hospital that required applications...

  5. Army questions

    roxxy3773 replied to huntergirl's topic in Government, Military

    Commissioned when you raise your hand, but your time doesn't technically start until you sign into OBC (is that the same name now?). For instance, my husband graduated and was commissioned when he...

  7. Are Shots Require

    roxxy3773 replied to JohnSmithJN316's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know any programs that require flu shots...my understanding is you can refuse the flu shot. I know you can refuse the Hep vaccine if you sign a waiver (at least in my nursing program, I've...

  8. Irritated

    roxxy3773 replied to niko1999 RN BSN's topic in General Nursing

    I was #7 on the waitlist and got a spot within about 2 weeks. I think you'll get a spot. Good

  9. How do I get a job as a Civilian in a military hospital/facility

    roxxy3773 replied to mzjennx's topic in Government, Military

    Hey there, I am having similar questions. My husband was stationed at Schofield and my understanding (from many valued sources) is that Tripler required 1 year experience before accepting new grad...

  10. Chances of getting hired in Colorado being a new grad of an out-of-state ADN program?

    roxxy3773 replied to Phoenixlight's topic in Colorado Nursing

    This is going to be an issue for me as well...I will finish up my program in May and my husband is going to be stationed at Fort Carson, so I will meet him when I am done. I am just keeping my fingers...

  11. Anatomy II before Anatomy I?

    roxxy3773 replied to sissy84's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If it isn't a requirement at your school and you think you can handle it, then go for it. Many years ago I took Biology 2 before 1 because 2 was the only one offered in the spring semester. I had to...

  12. Anatomy II before Anatomy I?

    roxxy3773 replied to sissy84's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I thought 1 and 2 were completely different, I don't think I would have had problem taking 2 before 1. I did think 2 was harder than 1 because I felt it was more abstract, but I don't think there was...

  13. Does anyone have experience with AP or CLEP exams?

    roxxy3773 replied to calibound08's topic in General Students

    I've never heard of a school giving a grade like that, everytime I've taken a CLEP exam it just goes in as credit for the course and no grade. I have transferred my English Comp 1 and 2 a few times...

    roxxy3773 replied to megn2boys's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    by the way Mike....we are coming from HI and hope to end up at Ft Carson next....we'll see how it all turns

  15. Anyone take Microbiology and A&P 2 same semester?

    roxxy3773 replied to megn2boys's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    No offense taken...I got into my program without A&P and that worked for me, it was the best option for me and my situation....it is definitely hard, and I will be glad to be done with it, but it...

  16. Anyone take Microbiology and A&P 2 same semester?

    roxxy3773 replied to megn2boys's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I just thought i would add my little bit...I am taking A&P 2 and Nursing 2...it is TERRIBLE! I took A&P 1 and nursing 1 last semester, but with each semester it gets harder and harder.....I...

  19. I'm new... and I have questions!!!!!

    roxxy3773 replied to kitkatkmm's topic in General Nursing

    Hi Kitkatkmm, It is definitely a good idea to try to get as many classes done as possible that go toward the nursing program, but you can get in without them if you meet the other criteria. To get...

  20. Are nurses professional?

    roxxy3773 replied to mmmk10's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Hi psalm, To answer your question, NH. My mom lives over the NH/MA border and I applied to a community college in MA and they basically told me that they wouldn't even look at my application until I...

  21. Are nurses professional?

    roxxy3773 replied to mmmk10's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Good points KatRN,BSN. In my case, due to my school's entrance requirements, a person can get into the program with nothing more than high school Chemistry, Bio, and Algebra. This means that I can...

    roxxy3773 posted a topic in General Nursing

    roxxy3773 replied to RNOTODAY's topic in General Nursing

    Not that this is helpful in answering your question, but I used to work in a residential home and give meds and the situation you are dealing with would never happen where I worked. If there was...
