    Psych Nurse w/o Military Experience - Insight?

    nurse2033 replied to NCindasun21's topic in Government, Military

    I do think you are over-thinking this. You want to help vets. You have experience and skills. Go for it. You're a nurse. Male nurses treat female patients, old nurses treat young patients... whatever....

    Male Nursing Student

    nurse2033 replied to npratt10's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I would get your BSN (or beyond) then commission as an officer. Get all the health care experience you can along the way. EMT is good, and that will qualify you to work in an ER as a tech (great...

    I keep being told the ARMY is changing; How is this affecting Nursing.

    nurse2033 replied to kr681683's topic in Government, Military

    I've heard that the army and perhaps the Air Force is starting a tactical nursing program. They would fulfill the role of a chopper medic. I don't know if that is true, but you might want to look into...

    Interviewing for ER Residency

    nurse2033 replied to daisyfleur70's topic in Emergency

    If you look and act the most professional you will probably get the job. Do some research on the hospital and ask some intelligent questions. Dress conservatively and show maturity and flexibility....

    Volunteer organization requires me to sign a statement of faith

    nurse2033 replied to EarthwormRN's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I would tell them that signing the document is a deal breaker. If they would rather soldier on without you that is their prerogative. It's their organization, their rules. I'd look

    Single parent military nursing?

    nurse2033 replied to UncreativeUsername's topic in Government, Military

    I'm a single parent (but joint custody) and didn't have any problems. I'm in the Guard which means I don't get moved, can stay in one place, and only need coverage for my kids when deployed. I don't...

    What would you do?

    nurse2033 replied to KyPinkRN's topic in Emergency

    The problem is you don't have a full service hospital but that's another discussion. The patient definitely needed continuing medical care. Yes the delay was not desirable but ask the doc what would...

    Photos of patient info - Inpatient setting

    nurse2033 replied to gemini81sg's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Some employers have specific cell phone policies that might apply. But no, as long as no identifying information was revealed it is not a HIPAA violation. Educators do this all the time. I have taken...

    ER Radio Etiquette

    nurse2033 replied to SuzieF's topic in Emergency

    One of the most common errors is in starting your transmission. You should always state the call sign of the person you are calling, followed by your own. For example, "nurse1 nurse2". This tells...

    When is it ok to make waves at work?

    nurse2033 replied to CrystalSSA's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I would go ask your boss if s/he can show you how it will be possible for you to complete this new requirement. Prepare some sort of presentation that it actually takes the time you say it does, and...

    Salary

    nurse2033 replied to francoml's topic in Male Nursing Students

    It all depends on location. Call the local hospital recruiter and ask them what a new grad makes. In CO where I live, they use a formula based on your experience. Grades, haircuts, how many puppies...

    Sending MD pictures of wounds on cell phone?

    nurse2033 replied to maddock26's topic in Wound, Ostomy, Continence

    You need a forensic or photographic policy. Photographs qualify as forensic evidence. Since a work photograph is owned by your employer, and a part of the medical record, it must be taken on...

    LPN (or ADN RN) to Corpsman/Medic?

    nurse2033 replied to biore's topic in Government, Military

    Being an LPN will not really matter to the service. Medic and corpsman training is done from scratch. Even if you have experience you will take the same course as those who don't. As the other poster...

    Diversity Scholarships?

    nurse2033 replied to sixty3dayswithSarah's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Good question, you sure do sound diverse. Have you called finance about this? I wouldn't expect them to invite you to apply based on your application. Are you talking about a scholarship application?...

    Blind/Non-English signing Hippa/billing forms

    nurse2033 replied to sir.shocksalot's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I would like to see them defend that in court. "You must sign this document that you can't read or understand". Sounds like China. You don't need to find a reference for this, it is simply ridiculous....
