Hi everyone!I am thinking about military nursing and am wondering if there is much need for Peds nurses? Will I be able to do Peds as active duty or will I get put in med/surg? Is there a certain branch that would be more likely to place in Peds? Or ...

Thanks for the info!

Also, I got an email saying I got a reply from denders but don't see anything? Any suggestions as to why? I can only read the first sentence then it gives a link back to this thread to finish reading?

I am participating in a grp debate in my nursing topics class and was wondering if anyone had any insights into this topic. The debate is over whether or not a nurse should tell the family when a mistake is made w/o any harm to the pt. Does anyone ...

It would be a nursing mistake, not sure how severe but am thinking for the debate that it doesn't matter. I guess the question it, it the pt isn't hurt by it do you admit the mistake to the family??

Hello, I am not sure what all the concern is about not being able to get a job in CO for nursing, from my experience there still is a shortage in CO. I am not yet a nurse but i have RN friends and RN student friends, I will be starting school this Oc...

I have a question about the BSN program, I know that it is 22months long. I was wondering if anyone is allowed to take one an extra class etc., to speed up the process?? Thanks:D

I don't have by RN yet, can you do an online BSN w/o RN?? I dunno, i have some decisions to make! Thanks

HI, I am going to be starting nursing school in Oct. for my BSN. The school i am going to is new, first class graduated in 2006, and is in the process of getting its NLN accreditation. I am thinking about joining the military after i graduate but w...

Thanks for your insight and help!!! Will do

I am a grad of UNC, however they are really really competitive!! The acceleraded program only takes like 10 people and you have to work in Norther CO for 2yrs. I dunno maybe going in as a regualr student at UNC??

I am from Denver, and i have looked into other schools. Regis U, i applied and didn't get in they denied 2/3 of the applicant pool. Metro/CU Denver i couldn't apply for b/c i just finished my pre-reqs and didn't meet the deadline.

Shoot!!! I was thinking this much but thought i would ask. The only thing i can think to do is wait until the school gets its accreditation and then go for the military?? The prob is i really don't want to wait anylonger (im not getting any younge...

Yikes!!! Three 12's in a row!!! Go to bed

i think undercover nursing would be a great idea!!! of course not conducted by the hospital itself but by and independent evaluating agency, that will publish its report for both admin and staff to read. i think that would be the only way to get ri...

thanks for the input, i might hit you up for hcr # soon but i want to make my decision on which branch before i contact a hcr. i know that you have lots and lots of experience:bowingpur, so not sure if you will know the answer to this...but do you f...

Silly question about the contacts... One of my prof told me when he was in the army (forever ago) that he was issued ugly army glasses that he had to wear. Does that still happen? I know that was a long time ago prob before contacts and he was enli...

thanks for the info, when i hear boot camp all i think is YIKES! But i read some of the other threads and seems like i could do it as long as i get my butt into shape!:nuke:

What is the officers training like for the Navy? Is it like the Army OBLC? Thanks for any input just tryin to figure out which branch is best for me.

Hi all, I am going to start an accelerated BSN program in OCT and am thinking of joining the military when i am done, so i don't really know anything about the process. I am assuming that OBLC is like boot camp? Is that only for army or do air forc...

U can try LIU Brooklyn Campus

I signed the enrollment agreement, but have not heard anything since. and you won't freeze your ass off...well maybe a little since you two are from cali but denver isn't too bad, not as much snow as you might think. And the upside is, even when it s...
