  1. Noticing shifts of interest

    deftonez188 replied to lifeafter40's topic in Government, Military

    It's disappointments like these that make us re-assess whether what we seek is really what we want. If you sit back and really analyze this thing you're seeking, and decide it's still worth it -...

  2. Actual officers?

    deftonez188 replied to NursesLeadTheWay's topic in Government, Military

    I'm also interested in an answer about the current number of days we may be working per week. I know it varies, so what is the

  3. Rules regarding delegation

    deftonez188 posted a topic in Michigan Nursing

    Hi there! I was wondering, are the rules regarding delegation the same for all nurses nationwide or are they state-specific? Where can they be found? Thank

  4. RN to MSN using GI bill/tuition assistance

    deftonez188 replied to ArmyRN-66H's topic in Government, Military

    When I was active duty enlisted I took courses online at my old college too, and I really didn't have an issue with residency because I explained my home of record and military service. You might want...

  5. Specialty question

    deftonez188 posted a topic in Government, Military

    I had a question about available specialties as my background is mainly Cardiac Intervention (active MI, cath + stents both cardiac and peripheral, problematic arrythmias, carotid stenting etc.). Do...

  6. Specialty question

    deftonez188 replied to deftonez188's topic in Government, Military

    Hilarious! And yet true

  7. Specialty question

    deftonez188 replied to deftonez188's topic in Government, Military

    Well i'm a little disappointed because cardiac has always been the most interesting to me, but who knows what the future holds. Always been interested in psych, NICU, and underwater

  8. Murphy's Law?

    deftonez188 replied to eriksoln's topic in General Nursing

    It's so bad it's funny :) I also must have missed the lecture on how to accomplish time travel in nursing school too

  9. If you could rewind and do it over again...

    deftonez188 replied to NurseBanana's topic in General Nursing

    I like the way you phrased that. Thinking of it in those terms, I guess i'm more of a puzzle person - that intrigues me more to be

  10. NCP Selectee

    deftonez188 replied to mavs's topic in Government, Military

    In my prior military experience, every move anywhere can be crazy. As enlisted I lost a form after boot camp (firing qualification) and they wanted to keep me there an extra week! All I know is that...

  11. NCP Selectee

    deftonez188 replied to mavs's topic in Government, Military

    Also in the NCP - I skimmed the handbook (it seems the 100+ pages or so don't particularly apply to us) but the other booklet did. Other than grades each semester and duty preferences I believe it was...

  12. about navy nurse !!

    deftonez188 replied to ladyD123's topic in Government, Military

    I agree, no one wants to go but you have to be willing to go. No one gets the sit out their turn from what i've seen. I'd question whether you really want in the armed forces, war is our

  13. graduate nurses in Navy and Air Force

    deftonez188 replied to huskers24's topic in Government, Military

    I contacted the Navy last year and forgot about it for two months until I was finally called back - now i'm in the program. Leave messages and be as patient as possible, I guess it gives you time to...

  14. *Easy* things I just hate doing

    deftonez188 replied to SolaireSolstice's topic in General Nursing

    Toileting. Sometimes I feel it'd be faster if I just picked them up and carried them to the

  15. Violence against nurses law.

    deftonez188 replied to metfan's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, that's something we should all have. Too many patients see us as literal punching bags or that it's acceptable to hit us and get away with it. If you can't punch the kid at McDonalds for messing...

  16. Jobless RN

    deftonez188 replied to Nuke'sGirl's topic in General Nursing

    Bremerton is one of the hospitals we 'new' Navy nurses can go to (note i'm in the NCP) - consider applying for the Nurse Corps (if that's your

  17. Do male RN's have any business learning sonography?

    deftonez188 replied to northmississippi's topic in General Nursing

    Much less in the way it was stated as well. If your statement were a fill-in-the-blank it would be considered offensive, go ahead try it: Do _____ have any business learning

  18. Student caught stealing....

    deftonez188 replied to RaggedyRN's topic in General Nursing

    Good job, true justice is a beautiful

  19. If you don't know...please ask!

    deftonez188 replied to mcknis's topic in General Nursing

    I also believe that encouraging teamwork and friendship among co-workers creates an environment where we can ask those questions we SHOULD know the answers to, but are currently delirious/human and...

  20. Navy Nurse Corps - Questions

    deftonez188 replied to myeire's topic in Government, Military

    People seem to paint the picture of recruiters as a shady car salesman - I suggest a little research before calling one if you're that concerned. I've joined the military 3 times basically (Active AF...

  21. Being stationed together

    deftonez188 posted a topic in Government, Military

    Had a question for anyone who might know. I was accepted to the Navy (Nurse Corps woot!) and my wife is also considering joining as well but as enlisted (unless she can get into the Supply Corps as an...

  22. Being stationed together

    deftonez188 replied to deftonez188's topic in Government, Military

    Thank you for the advice. I've come around to 'let's wait and see', I believe like you said it'd likely be the best move initially. This is more of a planning phase, I wanted to see if our previous...

  23. Being stationed together

    deftonez188 replied to deftonez188's topic in Government, Military

    She has a bachelors in Accounting, so she's going to try for the Supply Corps as an officer. The way things are right now, even the best candidates probably have a hard time getting in. We talked...

  24. Being stationed together

    deftonez188 replied to deftonez188's topic in Government, Military

    It's just such a surprise, I mean I figured if perhaps she could get into a medical enlisted position we'd be guaranteed a spot together so long as I wasn't directly supervising her. That scenario...

  25. Navy Nurse Candidate Program

    deftonez188 replied to young_one91's topic in Government, Military

    No we don't. You're basically a civilian until you graduate from your RN to BSN
