  8. new Army Nurse going Landstuhl, Germany

    armyicurn replied to Pink-Rated's topic in Government, Military

    LRMC (Landstuhl for short) is an unique animal. You will love it but you will learn to hate it. I work in the ICU, but that is a different animal when compared to the rest of the hospital. Enjoy your...

    armyicurn replied to pdaddy's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds like a bunch of horse manure! I want to hear it from the person hiring for these positions. The salary is possible, but I am curious to know what an RN is to be doing for a contractor. Perhaps...

    armyicurn replied to newmeafter45's topic in Government, Military

  16. Currently in OBLC

    armyicurn replied to newmeafter45's topic in Government, Military

    armyicurn replied to crazy_judo's topic in Government, Military

    Rme4life, how long have you been in? Where are you working? If you have been in less than a year and are a new nurse with less than 12 months, your HQ should not be sending you to the sandbox. Where...
