    nurse2033 replied to JaxJax5423's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I think it is essential to keep working at the bedside, although it can be almost impossible to balance the schedule and time commitments. I'm lucky to have an educator job 24 hours a week, which...

    Military Wife Seeking BSN

    nurse2033 replied to kunzle67c's topic in Government, Military

    If you can afford it, get your degree quickest. You can always join the military later. Depending on your husband's location, there should be chances to work as a civilian nurse. That way you will...

    Air Force Reserve Clinical RN

    nurse2033 replied to OUxPhys's topic in Government, Military

    Hmmm, I would call outpatient at the bedside too... They will place you in a nursing job doing whatever that reserve unit does. The best bet is to contact local units, ask for a tour or a meeting as...

    nurse2033 replied to Ashtimus Prime's topic in Government, Military

    You can just enlist and take whatever job they give you. This will get you in the military, but won't provide any boost to your nursing career. It will also significantly impede your ability to attend...

    Nursing Leadership

    nurse2033 replied to M.ana52's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Your third question goes to the future of nursing. If you have studied leadership then you should be able to conceptualize a definition of leadership. People tend to interchange the concepts of...

    Pay is published and easily searchable. It is based on your rank and time of service. Your rank is determined by your years of nursing experience. Five years might bring you in as a Captain. Drill pay...

    Behavioral health holds in ER

    nurse2033 replied to lorirntobsn's topic in Emergency

    I'm not sure what you mean by "intake". Is that mental health? If we can verify their medications from their record we give them what they need on the best schedule we can. Otherwise, we do it at the...

    Well that was my impression too, thanks. I think the goal will be for narcs as a second line intervention. Nitrous will be in the mix

    Name for independent contractor business?

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

    I think the name of a business should describe what it does, like Tony's Pizza. Unless you can become so famous that your name becomes ubiquitous like
