  1. Need some advice

    NiteQwill replied to Usafrn2015's topic in Government, Military

    Being an officer means being a leader. A freshly minted O-3 is not any more "SEASONED" than a O-2 with 4 years under their belt. Remember, you are a military officer FIRST and a nurse SECOND. And to...

  4. Has Any Body Taken AANP-2014 FNP Boards?s

    NiteQwill replied to SuccessfullLady's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Just took the AANPCP FNP exam this morning and PASSED! What a relief! Studied for about 3-4 weeks ranging from 4-6 hours a day. I had a study partner. We quizzed each other back and fourth on EVERY...

  5. Am I a Good Candidate to Work in the ER?

    NiteQwill replied to westieluv's topic in Emergency

    Not being flexible is the worst thing one can have working in an ER. Remember, things will get done, it's just a matter of when and how you prioritize (the person with a CVA/MI is more important than...

  6. Concealed Carry...as a nurse?

    NiteQwill replied to mcknis's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    You also have a very different homogenous population than us in the United States. When a small population of people are responsible for a majority of crime, the problem is not guns, it's...

  7. Concealed Carry...as a nurse?

    NiteQwill replied to mcknis's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I have a CCW/CHL and carry where possibly, legally. Although I don't carry at work, if given the opportunity, I would. As an ED nurse and sometimes working in triage, things have often ended in armed...

  8. Can someone "dumb down" what Obamacare really means?

    NiteQwill replied to EarthwormRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    And where exactly do we have the money to fund Obamacare? Oh yeah, print more

  9. To break the contract or not....that is the question

    NiteQwill replied to jaznia15's topic in Nursing Career

    BS, don't listen to these other posters. Your time with your family is irreplaceable, if you feel you need to break your contract to spend more time with your little one... Do it! All these folks...

    NiteQwill posted a topic in General Nursing

  14. Please help im so confused

    NiteQwill replied to driveinstyle2005's topic in Government, Military

    Are you saying that deployment are "an inconvenience?" I can't read into what you wrote, whether you are being serious or sarcastic. If the former, I would say that it is a disservice to those who...

  15. Any runners???

    Love running. I have tapered off a bit since I started swimming. Ran a marathon back in 2003, would love to do it again. Triathlon in the near future,

  16. Why'd y'all choose the Nursing field? =)

    NiteQwill replied to varg's topic in General Nursing

    I chose nursing because skydiving is not exactly a cheap hobby I have to fund my addiction somehow... Jokes aside I became a nurse because it was the next logical step from what I already do...

  17. Aside from Nursing, what else do you do?

    NiteQwill posted a topic in Health, Stress Management

    Hope this is the right forum Aside from Nursing (or nursing school), what do some of you guys do to relax or take the stress off? Myself, I regularly skydive (best stress relief ever created ), run...

  18. Leaving Nursing Program & Coming Back

    NiteQwill posted a topic in General Nursing

    Has anyone (students or current RN) ever had to leave their academic nursing program and return? (Voluntarily or involuntarily) How did you do when you returned? How was your boards? Did you forget...

  19. Leaving Nursing Program & Coming Back

    NiteQwill replied to NiteQwill's topic in General Nursing

    That is terribly unfair, I agree. Well, my university policy (as well as Nursing dept. policy) requires any student on educational leave due to government service be allowed to return into the...
