  1. Standardized computer charting--opinions?

    The Little Greek posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    Hello everyone, I recently started a new job where the computer charting system offers "standardized" responses that you can click on to add to your notes. For example, the drop down menu will have...

  2. Having teenagers and being in the Military

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

    Ahhhhh, parent guilt, isn't it great? We're damned if we do and damned if we don't. My kids are too little (4 and 5 yo) now to really understand what's getting ready to happen. I always feel guilty...

  3. Medical Records

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

    Will I need to track down civilian medical records eventually? What I mean is, will they want to see them at some point, not just during in-processing? At 34 years old I have lived all over the place...

  4. nursing navy student?

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

    My focus was Maternal-Child CNS, for which, unfortunately, there is no longer a certification exam. I'm okay with that because an MSN is an MSN and I don't need a CNS to practice. That said, I have...

  5. nursing navy student?

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

    It sounds like you are doing the same program I did...had a B.S. in Marketing, went back to school got my RN and MSN at that same time--is that what you are doing? I had a classmate who went into the...

  6. Air Force Reserve Question

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

    2bNurse Nini, I see that you are from Austin (I graduated from UT Austin School of Nursing) and wanted to suggest that if you really want that BSN, look into the RN-BSN program at UT Austin....it's a...

  7. I got in!!!!!

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

    Amazing news! A little patience (and possibly a little prayer?) payed off. Do you know when you'll be off to COT?

  8. Headed to Lackland!!!!

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

    Congrats to you on getting Lackland! I am and AF hopeful and did some of my MSN clinicals with a Maj there. Loved it--it's what inspired me to join the AF. You'll love San Antonio too. I've lived in...

  9. Liability insurance for military nurses?

    The Little Greek replied to dv1039's topic in Government, Military

    I think that in general, nurses are discouraged against obtaining liability insurance because that actually GIVES people a reason to go after you. I don't know an actual number here, but from what has...

  10. Is military nursing honestly better or worse than civilian?

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

    Hi Dino, I'm an AF hopeful so I can't speak to the work environment in the military....yet. Something you said struck me though and I just wanted to address it. You said that many current and previous...

  11. Houston-L&D nurses

    The Little Greek replied to FutureRN_08's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I work at Memorial Hermann in the Medical Center and I absolutely love it. The only catch is, if you are hired at that location for women's health, you have to work for one year on the unit before you...

  12. Navy nurse, wife and mother....

    The Little Greek replied to KDRUS22's topic in Government, Military

    Okay, no one has answered this yet and I feel a bit like an intruder because I'm not in the Navy, nor am I AD yet, BUT I am a nurse and mother of 2 young boys. Somehow I managed to make it through...

  13. Very frusterated about Army Age Requirement

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

    I'm applying to the Air Force. I did clinicals at an AF base at San Antonio and I also did clinicals at an Army post at Ft Hood. I liked the experience because it gave me an idea of what life would be...

  14. Very frusterated about Army Age Requirement

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

    It sounds like you are doing everything the right way. The fact that you are under 21 and will have your BSN is an AMAZING accomplishment and if the Army can't take you because of your age, certainly...

  15. Very frusterated about Army Age Requirement

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

    First, let me congratulate you on becoming an RN before the age of 21....that's fantastic! Out of curiosity though, are you a BSN or an ADN? You'll need at least a BSN to commission as an active duty...

  16. USAF nurse hopeful!!!! help

    The Little Greek replied to AndYouKnowIt31's topic in Government, Military

    Yes, very promising!! I would be very persistent at this point if I were you. When I spoke to my recruiter yesterday she said something to the effect that it was too bad I wasn't already accepted...

  18. Army Nurse- Loan Repayment Plan

    The Little Greek replied to jmet1020's topic in Government, Military

    Here is what I was told by my recruiter.... Bonus is taxed. You are paid one lump sum when you report to your duty station (after officer training). Right now the bonus is about $25K for a 4 year...

  19. Some bad news...

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

    Anyone heard any news about the January board cancellation? My recruiter has been out of the office so I haven't heard anything new. The NTP doesn't apply to me, but it certainly affects my...

  20. Army Vs Air Force

    The Little Greek replied to untamable07's topic in Government, Military

    I would suggest working toward losing the weight now. When I was a MEPS they turned away two women for being over the weight limit (they took body measurements too and apparently they didn't make the...

  21. Some bad news...

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

    Hi mommy3k, I just got back from my recruiter's office. I was signing my paperwork that was supposed to go before the January board. She informed me that the January board IS in fact canceled. She...

  22. Childcare for AD dependants

    The Little Greek posted a topic in Government, Military

    As I wait to hear about my application and hopeful commission, I'm starting to think about my need to find childcare where ever I am sent. For those who are AD, can you share your thoughts/experiences...

  23. Childcare for AD dependants

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

    Thanks ya'll. Sounds like finding childcare is just going to be stressful no matter what. At least there are some resources to help. Do you all know, are the CDCs usually full? I would think that with...

    The Little Greek replied to labbott8's topic in Government, Military

    Labbott8--Just out of curiosity, how long after the board reviewed you packet did you find out you were accepted? Was you packet accepted the first time or did the recruiter have to fix mistakes? And...
