  2. Residency for Army Nurses/ some financial questions

    woknblues replied to woknblues's topic in Government, Military

    Well, it would be nice to get an official response from an actual recruiter. I am more interested to hear the "reaction" rather than the answer for some

  3. Residency for Army Nurses/ some financial questions

    woknblues replied to woknblues's topic in Government, Military

    I totally get your point. I didn't really expect it to be true, or honored. That is why I just needed someone to confirm that the army does indeed say that they WILL PAY YOU $114,900 over the first...

  4. Night shift woes

    woknblues replied to MamaT's topic in General Nursing

    She likely did not respond to your question directly, because she would have looked incompetent. Either way, it sounds like you are getting what you want. Good for

  7. ARROYO: Make Professionals Stay 2 years and work in the Philippines!!

    woknblues replied to Hoss's topic in International Nursing

    Year? 2008. My post was facetious, to a certain degree. Sorry about the confusion, sometimes I still do that. My point was that there might be a 10,000 peso salary out there, but if someone walks into...

  8. I'm thinking of Joining the Navy as a Nurse... ?

    woknblues replied to Wheaties's topic in Government, Military

  10. Male Chest Hair and Scrub Tops

    woknblues replied to Thunderwolf's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I have contributed much to this thread, and I will take it a bit further.... First, you make a great point about sterile fields. That is a no brainer to me, just about the hairiest guy you will...

  11. Male Chest Hair and Scrub Tops

    woknblues replied to Thunderwolf's topic in General Nursing

    We love you for saying that. Thanks. Some of us gents cannot pull of the neutral gender metrosexual look, nor do we want to. And since when was chest hair so offensive or unprofessional? If it were...

  12. Night shift woes

    woknblues replied to MamaT's topic in General Nursing

    Well, just make sure you keep after it. You can be nice, and persistent. I am sure you are that way when advocating for your patients, just pretend that you are one of your patients, and advocate for...

  13. ARROYO: Make Professionals Stay 2 years and work in the Philippines!!

    woknblues replied to Hoss's topic in International Nursing

    HA! 10,000 a month. I have not met a single staff nurse who made that much. Why? Because the hospitals are nearly completely staffed by unpaid volunteers or paying for the privilege themselves nurses....

  15. Reserves Question - Enlisted/Officer

    woknblues replied to redshott's topic in Government, Military

    First, the Nurse Corp in all the forces only takes a BSN grad. http://www.navyreserve.com/opportunities/officer/healthcare_nc.jsp (AFAIK)...There is a reserve/school option that pays you a stipend...

  16. Residency for Army Nurses/ some financial questions

    woknblues replied to woknblues's topic in Government, Military

    Hey mom, I seriously advise you to carefully read the link I posted above, and then specifically talk to a medical recruiter. I am still scratching my head over it. When I read it, I get the...

  19. From Nurse to Physician

    woknblues replied to meghun503's topic in General Nursing

    Since you asked, here is my opinion. You would be better off going for a more heavy bio-chem/ calculus containing bachelors, than one that is typically for nurses. If not, you could be faced with a...

  20. Pre-pouring meds ... am I wrong?

    woknblues replied to aznqtpie's topic in General Nursing

    OP, please get in touch with your coworkers who were there and overheard/corroborate your side of the story, take down all information as detailed as possible. You could very easily get a lawsuit in...

  21. Night shift woes

    woknblues replied to MamaT's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds to me like you need to drop the "nice gal" routine and learn from the girl who refuses to work nights. Put yourself first for once, you will never regret it. That 2 minute commute will...

  22. How do you wonderful nurses do it?

    woknblues replied to tryingtobecome's topic in General Nursing

    Like all forms of school, professional degree and mastery, nursing is not really any different from any other profession in the terms you are describing. Here is my point. You go to school. You get...

    woknblues replied to cole1321's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    woknblues replied to NursingStudent-Tati's topic in General Nursing

    To each his/her own, but....Holy smokes, that is a lot of studying, and way too much for me, personally. I do about an hour a day, depending on what tests or exams are coming up. I HIGHLY recommend...

  25. Any advice on how to handle........

    woknblues replied to LadyJRN1's topic in General Nursing

    all of the above are good. If it were a problem with management or your employers, I would suggest more direct action, but since it sounds like your peers, I would suggest trying to let it go. This...
