    Questions about Air Force Critical Care Air Transport Team in the Reserves

    nurse2033 replied to cc2005's topic in Government, Military

    I'm a flight nurse in the WY Air Guard, you can PM me if you like. And you can commission into a CCATT slot. Your best bet is to find a unit, contact them, and apply through them. To the OP, I think...

    Colorblind Flight Nurse in Military?

    nurse2033 replied to Fumanchuesday's topic in Government, Military

    Not a problem. Although they are not medical, I know a number of officers who are red-green blind. I'd be shocked if there was a restriction for medical. I think it only matters for pilots. Good

    Highest possible pay for ADN/RN

    nurse2033 replied to pcgizzmo's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Possible, yes, feasible, no. If you worked your way into a high demand speciality, then worked at a hospital where they allowed overtime, and worked a bunch of it, perhaps. Otherwise just get two...

    Transitioning from FNP program to MSNEd

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

    The MSN is a huge boost for teaching of any kind. It is required for a college teacher, and will put you way ahead in a hospital educator job. Since you have so much invested, I would continue. The...

    Troops to Fight Ebola

    nurse2033 replied to sbush86's topic in Government, Military

    If you send one service person you need to support them. Security, food, lodging, medical care, supplies and so on. Personally I believe that Africa should take on the responsibility themselves (read...

    nurse2033 replied to PerfectlyNumb's topic in Emergency

    That's why pulling someone back from the brink is so awesome. Some people have terminal conditions that nothing can fix. It's sad, but you should feel that you did everything that was in your power...

    Injured Nurse, Can I still teach?

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

    A free Masters would be terrific. It also sets you up for all sorts of ancillary health care jobs, education of all sorts, business, technology rep, whatever. Maybe you should get a MBA, this is...

    nurse2033 replied to DUDERNGUY's topic in Men in Nursing

    Trying to decide between accelerated BSN, entry-level MSN-NP, and ADN

    nurse2033 replied to NorthBeach's topic in Male Nursing Students

    If you are bent on getting your NP I would BSN first. This can get you a job and experience. You don't want to become an NP with little nursing experience (my opinion). Also, I would go with a good...

    Masters in Education Advice/Help

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

    You just need sufficient time in your week. I think I spent about 8 hours per week per class, but that varied a lot (usually more not less). If you have a Capstone project that will be a second job...

    Take their education classes and get to know the staff. You are taking the right steps with your education and preparation. I would also approach the manager and tell them of your interest, and the...

    Is nursing for me?

    nurse2033 replied to NOORSE's topic in Men in Nursing

    Who cares how it's perceived? Make it your own. You are right that it is challenging, with lots of problem solving, and science! Titrating drugs, keeping someone alive (for example), is totally...

    Where to go???

    nurse2033 replied to Lharrell12's topic in Male Nursing Students

    If psych is your interest, research psych facilities in your area. You wouldn't specialize within psych, you'd get it all. A psych hospital would have the highest acuity patients. You won't have a lot...

    nurse2033 replied to livingthedream77's topic in Emergency

    As miserable as she made you, at least she left your life and you're off the hook. That poor guy has to live with her, and she has to live with herself. What's that like? Could be worse, she could be...

    I never, ever went to ER when I was a kid

    nurse2033 replied to Emergent's topic in Emergency

    Twice, once for stitches in my face, and the other for a crushed toe. When the kid down the street fell off his bike and suffered a serious skull fracture, his Mom drove him to the ER. The only time I...

    IV clinics for hangovers

    nurse2033 replied to floridaRN38's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    You could solve the medical control issue by getting your NP, or hiring one. I'm no lawyer but I think your liability would be IV site infections, or reactions to medications. You could get insurance...

    What is so difficult about this question?

    nurse2033 replied to 86toronado's topic in Emergency
