I am glad you put this article on the board, I will pass it on to some of my young corpsman and medics looking to enhance thier careers on the outside. Another route is an EMS degree program, but you still have to get the necessary prerequisite for ...

I like you post but I am looking for a program that will help folks while they are still in, and maybe the military is already working to that end, but I don't think so.

That is a great answer, but what I would like to see is an educational format for the military all around to help medics, corpsman and such to achieve the theory, practice, and preparation to prepare for the NCLEX. The Army has an LPN program, but t...

Once again, I get the licensing part and you are right about that, but if you may happen to another way to evaluate education toward LVN/LPN and or the 2 year ADN programs without trying to accelerate, but just being prepared for the programs around...

First of all no one is talking about licensing I am talking about education, second of all I really don't need you to think me for my service because if it weren't for some great nurses out there I wouldn't have the experience i got as a medic!!, Thi...

That is what is meant by performing outside of the box to some

I am not going to say that we do more than nurses or anything of that nature, but as an Army Medic or Doc i will say we do quite a bit. RNs in the army run a patient hold which can be from 72 hours up to 3 days depending upon the Area of Operation. ...

I don't know the real answer, but I think it would depend on the state in which you reside; if some of the professionals on this site could lend I would appreciate it.

But how often could a military medic be asked to provide humanitarian assistance or happen upon civilians while on operations that require help??? I thought we did humanitarian missions, and some the missions we do most definitely involve the local ...

Thank you very much, the input I am receiving here is great. Please do not be offended by my odd research tactics, but it is necessary to do so in order to write a point paper as you all know. So if I in anyway offended anyone my most sincerest apo...

Okay here is my deal. My mom was a nurse, my grandmother, and now after all these years I too want to be a nurse. I can tell you that my time in the military has been great, I was an Marine Infantryman and I got to be an infantry medic(paratrooper ...

Thank you all very much, I appreciate you help and the information you have offered. I have been checking around the area, I just got here to Fort Sam Houston in July of 2008. I was just trying to get outside info because I get so tied up at work. ...

I believe I was looking at something more on a traditional path. And you are not listening because I have said many times that I understood one needed those classes, but how could I create a program to satisfy all those requirements for the non m6 m...

Lucky1RN what I was trying to say before the other person answered was in the last post. I was looking for a program that bring the basic medic, corpsman, or med tech up to par with prenursing skills or something close to at the very least LVN skill...

Guy I was talking on the pre nursing and LVN levels in preparation to RN. Is that so presumptuous. I mean if a kid doesn't go to the M6 course because at that time they think to do so, it would be kind of cool if they could go to an assessment type...

With the exception of you as an IDMT, every MT I speak to in the Air Force wishes they could get to do what we do as medics. Form what I have seen of some nursing programs NAs CNAs and MAs get more of an edge then we do. I maybe wrong in my thinkng...

I am talking about the folk who become civilians, we already know about the 68WM6 program. You are right about the Mike 6 program, but not everyone stays in the army, and why can't that 68W training counts as pre-nursing, or allow the individual to ...

I need help with trying to decipher the training and skills that I have obtained throughout the past 9 years and see where it could fit in with accomplishing the goal in which I am looking toward. I understand that there is theory that comes with th...

oh sorry I meant in a combat zone as well.

I have a ton of experience as a medic also and I am currently going through a health care educator degree program. I want to become a Registered Nurse also. I been medic for 9 years, and I have ran an aid station, a level II patient hold an a comba...

You know those young men and women who are out there in Afghanistan and Iraq that are fighting in combat situations everyday? They have on their teams and in their units these folks they call "Doc" known as 68W for the Army, Med Techs For the Air Fo...

Can you tell me what Excelsior requires from us? I'm an Army Medic, and really want to become a nurse. The nursing program we have would require me to be a SGT, and I am a SSG. I used to be Marine Infantry from 1987 - 2000, and in my experiences ...
