  1. What's your problem???????

    annabeap replied to sasha2lady's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    There's been a few slow-to-warm-up aides on my unit. But I haven't noticed any "evil" vibes. I was an aide first, so that experience gives me so much more appreciation for them. It's totally unit...

  2. NTP information

    annabeap replied to AFFam's topic in Government, Military

    NTP is more like a senior nursing clinical... he'll be assigned a preceptor and work their schedule. It'll be up to the NTP coordinator to determine if people work on holidays (with their preceptor)....

  3. Going to COT in two weeks, any recommendations??

    annabeap replied to dolphins00's topic in Government, Military

    You can't fail out of COT because of the PT test... what happens is they do a pre-PT test, to give you an idea of what to work on... then in two weeks or so, you have the official PT test. There's...

  4. COT Physical Test

    annabeap replied to mt_nurse's topic in Government, Military

    The new PT standard goes into effect July 1st, 2010... so at COT they should be scoring you the old way. Hopefully they should be giving you your score via the new standards too. That's what they've...

  5. waiting, Air Force Nurse Corps

    annabeap replied to Wac44's topic in Government, Military

    FYI about the Mess Dress... I found out AFTER I purchased mine that I could've rented it!!!! All the chaplains knew about renting it, but I was told nothing. And when you get to purchase uniforms,...

  6. NTP bases??

    annabeap replied to MarywoodMurse's topic in Government, Military

    Thanks for clarifying! And I agree, that new facility will be so

  7. NTP bases??

    annabeap replied to MarywoodMurse's topic in Government, Military

    Haha, I can tell you that they don't have NTP up at Mt Home. They have 10 beds and NO IMPATIENT PHARMACY. I'm sure it's a beautiful place though. :) And Andrews is supposed to be turned into a...

  8. waiting, Air Force Nurse Corps

    annabeap replied to Wac44's topic in Government, Military

    For anyone wondering about COT... I found a great website: Air Force OTS :: OTS Foundation Portal That's for all of OTS. You just should look for COT. They even make a folder for your class! I went...

  9. Poll for Burn Nurses...as a student nurse, did you rotate in a burn unit?

    annabeap replied to WineCountryRN's topic in Burn

    So, I'm a new nurse, not working in the Burn Unit, but did a rotation there. I asked one of the nurses, and she said that Burn ICU was her FIRST JOB. She NEVER saw a burn unit before then. She was a...

  10. Bellin College

    annabeap replied to NinjaRN's topic in General Nursing

    Housing was a pain. They don't have any dorms for accelerated students- normally the UWGB kids stay on that campus, likewise for St. Norbert's. Thank goodness I just so happened to make the right...

  11. Bellin College

    annabeap replied to NinjaRN's topic in General Nursing

    I graduated from BCON May 09... when it was next door to the hospital. In retrospect, I am thoroughly satisfied with my experience. I was in the last 21-month accelerated BSN program*, so I "saved"...

  12. PIV lab draws,re instill waste blood?

    annabeap replied to pedspro's topic in Pediatric

    I have never seen or heard of reinstilling wasted blood! I can only imagine reinstilling partially coagulated blood wouldn't be very safe. Now, I'd flush the PIV with maybe 3 mLs and waste that much...

  13. hypertonic saline nebs for rsv

    annabeap replied to ucarn71's topic in Pediatric

    Sure. Check the order/MAR, make sure you know what percentage hypertonic saline you grab, pour in a nebulizer face mask/blow-by, and turn up the O2. You'll see vapors until all the fluid's gone....

  14. IV Sticks in a pediatric pt

    annabeap replied to imintrouble's topic in Pediatric

    I'm a new nurse on a peds floor. I've only had the opportunity to start an IV once, on a 6 yo. Our babies usually come up with IVs from the ER. But the best part about my floor is that we're all...

  15. Naval medical San diego

    annabeap replied to luvemrare's topic in Government, Military

    Well, then again, recruiters are working to "recruit" a number of nurses... so you might want to ask a recruiter to connect you with a nurse at that

  16. Naval medical San diego

    annabeap replied to luvemrare's topic in Government, Military

    All I know is hearsay about the Navy... that if you get stationed at San Diego, you can pretty much stay there for your whole career/commitment. Now, if you want to join the Navy, you don't have the...

  17. Navy nurse or Air Force nurse? Please Help!

    annabeap replied to ventiicelatte's topic in Government, Military

    I believe you can join the Army with your RN- ADN, but you can't make Captain until you get your BSN. The AF I know for sure won't accept you without your RN-BSN, as well as the Navy, I believe. If...

  18. Letters of recommendation for the AF

    annabeap replied to nursing1998's topic in Government, Military

    This is definitely something your recruiter will know. But I don't see why you couldn't use your past clinical evaluations. I joined the AF fresh out of nursing school so I just had my clinical...

  19. Where's my recruiter?

    annabeap replied to MunkiRN's topic in Government, Military

    If you are getting frustrated, you could call an office in another region... but you might just be getting that recruiter in trouble. I had a great recruiter for the AF... other nurses I met had...
