  1. Best Branch for Military Nursing?

    deftonez188 replied to Jennifer22's topic in Government, Military

    On a less serious note: OP, Trust me, as a prior enlisted male, NO one has a problem finding someone while in the military. It may even benefit some, some people are far out of each other's leagues,...

  2. Getting a masters or NP w/o working as an RN first!

    deftonez188 replied to pinkstethoscope's topic in General Nursing

    I've never agreed with accelerated BSN's. Local schools offer an accelerated 1 year BSN for persons with a bachelor's in another field. I can't get an Art History bachelor's in the same amount of...

  3. Potential nursing students who dont want to hear the truth

    deftonez188 replied to smartnurse1982's topic in General Nursing

    35k? I've seen quite a few posts mentioning over 100k! That seems absurd for anything less than medical school I'm an RN doing a RN-BSN program, currently in my last semester. The majority of the...

  4. 2012 NCP Graduates, any news about ODS?

    deftonez188 replied to littleluvbugnavy's topic in Government, Military

    I graduate this April - I don't have a date for ODS yet, however i'm hoping I won't have to wait 'months' to go. The conditions of being in the NCP, that you must be full-time in school, prevent...

  5. 2012 NCP Graduates, any news about ODS?

    deftonez188 replied to littleluvbugnavy's topic in Government, Military

    Ventscn, I just found out I'm headed to Bethesda as well, and will likely be going to ODS when you do (passed the nclex a few years back), maybe i'll see you

  6. 2012 NCP Graduates, any news about ODS?

    deftonez188 replied to littleluvbugnavy's topic in Government, Military

    Same, I'd prefer not to wait around for 3 months post-graduation (passed my NCLEX 2 years ago), especially since I'm not employed while full-time in

  7. rules for military nursing -- disappointing :(

    deftonez188 replied to RN_survivor's topic in Government, Military

    Your civilian employment and potential military employment are not equivalent. If I moved to Canada and had a license to practice there, I would not immediately expect my foreign (even US) education...

  8. 2012 NCP Graduates, any news about ODS?

    deftonez188 replied to littleluvbugnavy's topic in Government, Military

    This is my last semester as well, so i'm looking at going some time after April. I was told we start negotiating orders this next month (which is a odd, negotiating = which big 3 base do you want to...

  9. Questions Navy NCP for prior service and reservists

    deftonez188 replied to scwhit84's topic in Government, Military

    I had the same background you have OP, 4 active, 4 reserve. You have to do MEPS all over again, but the personnel may be 'nicer' this time (not my experience in Detroit lol). And unfortunately, we get...

  10. ODS questions

    deftonez188 posted a topic in Government, Military

    Hello, I'm getting prepared for ODS beginning this next year, and have a few simple questions regarding male grooming standards. I have a mustache that i've had for quite awhile, recently, I chopped...

  11. do you make sure your pts

    deftonez188 replied to juzme's topic in General Nursing

    Prioritization is a basic principle of nursing care. These nurses deemed the care needed was not a priority. It's great to have a big heart for humanity, but let's not confuse what we wish to be with...

  12. how important is GPA?

    deftonez188 replied to sourapril's topic in General Nursing

    While I agree with the second half of your statement, I completely disagree with the first. Learning mostly useless material? That's an unfortunate outlook on the reflection of GPA to a person's...

  13. Anyone recently graduating from ODS

    deftonez188 replied to Purple_Demon_RN's topic in Government, Military

    I wished someone had accurately portrayed ODS to me. They paint it as a cakewalk, and it isn't. I'm prior service enlisted Air Force. I remember what boot camp was like back then, and I guess I can...

  14. Graduating BSN, then ODS right after..need advice

    deftonez188 replied to VentcSN's topic in Government, Military

    Will do, i'll wait

  15. Anyone recently graduating from ODS

    deftonez188 replied to Purple_Demon_RN's topic in Government, Military

    I have a few if you don't mind: 1. Do you square away TMO before you go to ODS or while you're there? I'm trying to figure out how much time I have to move, and when, to reduce the stress of the...

  16. Graduating BSN, then ODS right after..need advice

    deftonez188 replied to VentcSN's topic in Government, Military

    Is the NEX pretty poor in RI? I'd rather go on base near me now and pick up my uniform stuff prior to leaving if they'll be deficient in correct sized uniform

  17. I've had it.

    deftonez188 replied to MJB2010's topic in General Nursing

    Well put, I feel you have a very valid argument here. Who will take responsibility when you eventually make an error? I don't care how long a person has been a nurse, sleep deprivation will put you in...

  18. AF applicant wanting feedback...need advice

    deftonez188 replied to ATLRN0828's topic in Government, Military

    I'd ask, because how would the rules apply any differently? If you have to deploy immediately short notice, you can't refuse because of a child at

  19. AF applicant wanting feedback...need advice

    deftonez188 replied to ATLRN0828's topic in Government, Military

    Single parents aren't taken to the armed forces - it's a risk for the military. See:

  24. All Those NPs with No Bedside Experience

    deftonez188 replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    This topic relates quite well to my feeling about 1 year accelerated BSN programs as well - if I can't get an ART HISTORY degree in one year, should you be an RN within one? Totally

  25. Some questions about the Army Reserve Nursing Corps

    deftonez188 replied to 84Nozzle's topic in Government, Military

    Are you suggesting an ADN RN take an enlisted position? Not all that familiar with Army MOS's but if that's the case, they could just as easily take out a student loan and work part time while going...
