    The Little Greek replied to airforcenursewannabe's topic in Texas Nursing

    A friend of mine is a new grad and she makes ~$25hr. She works with me in the med center and Hermann pays us a "hassle" bonus per hour....her $25hr includes that "hassle" bonus. The reason for the...

    The Little Greek posted a topic in Government, Military

    Hello all, First let me say I am happy to announce that I was finally selected for the Air Force Nurse Corps. Words do not explain my excitement but now I have lots and lots of planning to do. As I am...

  3. I just found out Im going to Tripler

    The Little Greek replied to Sobi's topic in Government, Military

    Can't help with your duty assignment but I have an awesome website that helps you look at schools. It gives you a report card for each school and scores them on a point system. I have used it for...

  4. What does your hospital do post-c-section?

    The Little Greek replied to justme1972's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I have seen the Cochrane review too. When I was in grad school two of my classmates and I did a presentation about this subject. The hospital where I worked at the time switched from clr liquids...

  5. On-Q Pain Ball after c/sections

    The Little Greek replied to BagLoverRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    We use OnQ pumps for c/s but honestly pt's still have a great deal of pain and still request Vicodin. The pumps seem to leak a lot so dressings are constantly being reinforced and tegaderm changed. My...

  6. NCP vs. Waiting to Finish School--In Terms of Money

    The Little Greek replied to tiedied's topic in Government, Military

    I am a practicing nurse with three years experience and I will be getting both the sign-on bonus and the loan repayment. It seems like this might be a sweeter deal than the NCP since the total amount...

  7. Why, oh why is this taking so long????

    The Little Greek posted a topic in Government, Military

    I just need a moment to vent my frustration about waiting to hear from the selection board. My application has been complete since the first week in December. I missed that board since there was only...

    The Little Greek replied to yadoreme's topic in Texas Nursing

    I live in Sugar Land and in my opinion, you are waaaay too young to move down here :nuke: What I mean is, if I were young and didn't have children, there would be NO WAY I would live here. If you are...

  9. Why, oh why is this taking so long????

    The Little Greek replied to The Little Greek's topic in Government, Military

    FINALLY! I found out today that I was selected. They haven't found a "spot" for me yet so I have no idea where I'm going after COT. My tentative COT date is May, which means I'll be catching that...

  10. Buying a house in Houston, Texas

    The Little Greek replied to nurse_in_me's topic in Texas Nursing

    Nurse-in-me, I think you can probably see that no one will ever agree on the best place to live in Houston. That choice is obviously very personal. As someone who recently moved to Houston, I will...

  11. Why, oh why is this taking so long????

    The Little Greek replied to The Little Greek's topic in Government, Military

    Okay, I'm now headed into 1 month and still no word. What is killing me is that my current job has offered me an opportunity to cross-train to L&D if I'm willing to stay. I work at a trauma...

  12. Buying a house in Houston, Texas

    The Little Greek replied to nurse_in_me's topic in Texas Nursing

    Nurse-in-me, The Med Center is a fantastic place to work. The traffic can be a turn-off, and if you work during the day you have to park at a lot away from the hospitals and ride a train in. I prefer...

  13. New Hospital in SA?

    The Little Greek replied to Pretty in Ink's topic in Texas Nursing

    The Little Greek replied to nurse_in_me's topic in Texas Nursing

  15. Buying a house in Houston, Texas

    The Little Greek replied to nurse_in_me's topic in Texas Nursing

    I know a nurse who lives in Missouri City and she has to take a toll to get to Hermann (which is where I work). The toll is $1.25 each way so you can do the math...it adds up. I don't take a toll...

  16. St. David's vs. Seton (in Austin)

    The Little Greek replied to LittleLisaLawrence's topic in Texas Nursing

    I worked at St David's main campus (32nd St) on Women's Services. At the time I did not do L&D so I can't speak to that side, but the PP/Gyn unit was okay. I had A LOT of problems with the night...

  17. Buying a house in Houston, Texas

    The Little Greek replied to nurse_in_me's topic in Texas Nursing

    It really depends on where you might want to work because traffic can be a killer. I work in the med center and live in Sugar Land (not advisable for a young person without kids--I live here for the...

  20. Why, oh why is this taking so long????

    The Little Greek replied to The Little Greek's topic in Government, Military

    It's true....in Houston where I am, there is only one office that recruits nurses. There are also only two recruiters in that office that recruit nurses, the others recruit doctors. I feel for the...

  21. Why, oh why is this taking so long????

    The Little Greek replied to The Little Greek's topic in Government, Military

    WTB--Thank you for that info about the Navy. In the AF I would have (and hopefully WILL BE) commissioned as an O-2 with time toward O-3. That makes a pretty big difference in pay. I'm trying very hard...

    The Little Greek replied to The Little Greek's topic in Government, Military

    I am so disappointed to hear these stories! I am still having drama surrounding this process. The recruiter I've been working with just went on FMLA leave so I've been passed to another recruiter. I...

  24. Why, oh why is this taking so long????

    The Little Greek replied to The Little Greek's topic in Government, Military

    Thanks ya'll. I guess they give you a little taste of the "hurry up and wait" before you get accepted to make sure you can handle it. Smattles--you had quite an ordeal! If you don't mind me asking,...

    The Little Greek replied to CNAinNeb's topic in Government, Military

    I can't really help with the National Guard info, but I can relate to your difficulty getting into nursing school. Do you mind me asking, do is your Speech Therapy degree an AS or BS? I only ask...
