    HPSP

    nurse2033 replied to Sudak5's topic in Government, Military

    A friend just got accepted to this program. He isn't aware of an age limit. Obviously there must be one, but it's probably just as long as you can fulfill all your military requirement before age

    Any perspective from other Military Vets

    nurse2033 replied to ScreamingEagle's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Great post, I'm sure you will do great. My alma mater (Excelsior) has a vet mentoring program, perhaps your school has one too. I'm an active Guard flight nurse and a nursing educator. If you need any...

    Forensic nurse versus psychiatric nurse

    nurse2033 replied to AspiringRN-MSN's topic in Forensic

    Except for SANE programs there is very little work in nursing forensics. Nationwide there are very few hospitals that do nursing forensic work outside of SANE. Also, SANE is not for a new nurse. This...

    Male nurses- I need your help

    nurse2033 replied to TaylsRN's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    I don't think men would be a very good nursing market. I bought scrubs once, and they haven't fallen apart yet. I recently spent money on ammo, snowshoes, some fencing material, 2 tons of bricks, and...

    LVN keeps personal notes about patients

    nurse2033 replied to VegGal's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Any records you keep to "cover" yourself can be subpoenaed and entered into the court record. I don't think you are gaining any coverage. It could just as easily be used against

    Considering Military: Airforce or Navy

    nurse2033 replied to chad49usc's topic in Government, Military

    Don't get to wrapped up about which service is better. Would Chuck Yeager have been a rock star in the Army? Or Patton awesome in the Navy? What I mean is there is excellence in all services and you...

    want to become a nurse

    nurse2033 replied to ctongue's topic in Men in Nursing

    I like my paycheck too! You don't have to care to be a professional nurse, but it sure helps. Let's face it, not even the best nurse "cares" every minute of every shift. You have a professional face...

    In fear of losing my license.

    nurse2033 replied to Newgrad665's topic in General Nursing

    It is hard to say without knowing all the details. Is this a coworker? If you did nothing wrong his threat to notify the board of nursing is just smoke. But if he fabricates a history between you he...

    AF Reserve Flight Nurse

    nurse2033 replied to OUxPhys's topic in Government, Military

    Commissioning is no big deal, but I believe you need a BSN (or Bachelor in something and RN). The best way is find an Air Evac unit and apply directly to them. If they have an opening they can help...

    Student Nurse HIPPA Violation

    nurse2033 replied to MN17's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    What isn't clear is if patient information was in the screen shot. As an educator (different legal status than a student) I take screen shots of labs all the time. But, I am always careful to leave...

    Teaching distance learning

    nurse2033 replied to ReinventingMyselfAgain's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I have taught both online and in person and currently am teaching an online class. The class I'm teaching I built from ground up so I've have full involvement in it from the begging. If you add the...

    Friend violating HIPAA! What should I do?

    nurse2033 replied to MQ Edna's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I will not calm down. Do you think what she did is OK? I'm glad it has been taken down though. Hopefully she has realized the error of her

    Nursing Student with a few questions

    nurse2033 replied to Nurse2bQuestions27's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Nursing is a solid field, sick people are not going away. Not only is the general population aging, but so are nurses. The last I heard the average age of a nurse is about 45. As for wages, it varies...

    Best route for new grad to become commissioned officer RN in military (prefer Air Force)

    nurse2033 replied to vlang's topic in Government, Military

    I'm going to take wild stab and guess you are under 30. If so, that means you have many years to gather nursing experience to make yourself more competitive. Get a nursing job, get professional...

    Friend violating HIPAA! What should I do?

    nurse2033 replied to MQ Edna's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Not only is it an obvious HIPAA violation, but she is also degrading a patient and using her status as a nurse to "entertain" her friends. On the face of it, she has no business being in any position...

    Joining the US airforce as an RN with BSN, greencard holder

    nurse2033 replied to Alyx C's topic in Government, Military

    Pixie is right. Get RN experience, finish citizenship, get a qualifying degree, and commission as a nurse. Enlisting will set you back years. Good

    Military Nurse Reservist Question

    nurse2033 replied to tprkt's topic in Government, Military

    You are not too old for the AF but you'd better hurry. The age is 48 but it can take a long time to get you in. I wouldn't expect any monetary inducements at this time. My unit does not have a bonus...

    Inadvertent HIPPA violation

    nurse2033 replied to livinglighthouse's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    You didn't say whether you reported the breach at once or not. I think this will be key. You obviously did the right thing by removing the data once you realized what happened. Are you in a union? I...

    Well, you have been hired for your expertise, and you are cashing a check for it, that's America! Just because they are out to make a buck doesn't mean they won't provide a good education. That said,...

    Marine Corps Reserve & Nursing School

    nurse2033 replied to nishey94's topic in Government, Military

    We can't decide for you. But don't finish nursing school and then not work as a nurse. You will fall behind and will definitely have trouble getting a job. Besides, why go to nursing school if that's...
