  1. Some questions about the Army Reserve Nursing Corps

    mmm333 replied to 84Nozzle's topic in Government, Military

    =CRINGE= I wish people wouldn't say "I want to join the military [but I don't want to deploy or be involved in a war]"... It's like saying "I want to be an RN but I don't want to touch bodily fluids...

  2. army reserve nurse corps-need the real truth

    mmm333 replied to roachm224's topic in Government, Military

    Even in tough times, there is only one thing that makes the military "worth it"- and that is not the money, the benefits, the experience, or whatever. Because those are never as good as the recruiter...

  3. There is no nursing shortage!

    mmm333 replied to fizz2Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    Law School? There's always personal injury and

  4. Travelling Nurse in Japan ????

    mmm333 replied to earthlovers123's topic in Travel

    Japan only has an exchange program for about 100 foreign nurses which just started and was limited to Indonesia and the Phillipines. Only about 1% passed the test which meant one or two nurses got...

  5. BA to ADN to MSN?

    mmm333 replied to sholmsen's topic in General Students

    No. It depends on each school. The "better" schools (sometimes "better" means better, but sometimes it just means "more impacted") demand experience, GRE results, etc. There are programs that demand...

  6. New Grad RN-->No Jobs, Then what?

    mmm333 replied to lperkrn's topic in Nursing Career

    I had the "overqualified" experience. I applied for a unit clerk position and it went well, they gave me training materials, told me I was basically hired, made all sorts of plans for me to start- and...

  7. RN to BSN online

    mmm333 replied to mona b RN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Oh, I believe it... but I think you will get it. With a tried-and-true emergency background? C'mon. Shoo-in. The Air Force and Navy are really hard to get into right now, with grades above 3.7 being...

  8. RN to BSN online

    mmm333 replied to mona b RN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    That's OK, the Navy are a bunch of cake-eaters anyway. ;] The programs I was considering are remote from my location, maybe that's the difference. Hopefully it's not because this is something new for...

  9. RN to BSN online

    mmm333 replied to mona b RN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Thanks for your comment. Can I ask how recently you talked to them? Are you on your way in right now? Are you active? I was recently told that online programs might be a problem for the Army's...

  10. RN to BSN online

    mmm333 replied to mona b RN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    In preparing myself for entry into Army nursing, I found out that they do not accept ANY online RN-BSN programs (neither do Air Force or Navy)- only programs that have onsite clinicals with clinical...

  11. Nurse Jackie UWGA RN-BSN Project

    mmm333 replied to VicMoWestGA's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I personally liked Nurse Jackie- but I definitely see the show not as illustrating the ideals of nursing (or the reality of nursing), but as a TV fantasy that explores the gamut of nursing ethics...

  12. THERE IS NO NURSING SHORTAGE in 2010.

    mmm333 replied to mmm333's topic in General Nursing

    Haha, seriously- one must wonder if there is a Silicon Valley connection between ebay's Meg Whitman and Monster.com down the street. Their site and hers are almost identical in scope and

  13. THERE IS NO NURSING SHORTAGE in 2010.

    mmm333 replied to mmm333's topic in General Nursing

    Hi Christine, There have been a series of these articles since late 2008 I believe, and there was a recent one a few days ago (Sept 2010)... monster's site seems to broadcast similar information to...

  14. THERE IS NO NURSING SHORTAGE in 2010.

    mmm333 replied to mmm333's topic in General Nursing

    Just a desire to promote open discussion. Hope you don't take it personally. I take no issue with anything said by posters here- I do want to discuss the stuff posted on monster in relation to the...

  15. Best States for Entry-Level Nursing Jobs Posted

    mmm333 replied to iPink's topic in General Nursing

    Please don't quash the discussion or surmise that you can tell people what not to talk about. The issue is as relevant today as it was 1, 2, or 3 years ago- far more relevant, actually. Threads are...

  16. 10 Ways to Achieve Success in Nursing School

    mmm333 replied to Hanna0225's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This article is OK, good standard advice- but there is alot of misleading stuff on NursingLink written seemingly by non-nurses who don't have their fingers on the pulse of the

  17. New Grads - where is there a nursing glut?

    mmm333 replied to spudbunny's topic in First Year After Licensure

    With the influx of the latest batch of new grads in Summer 2010, the nursing glut has spread across the entire country amid a continuing economic recession that prevents new hiring and training of...

  18. New Grads - where is there a nursing glut?

    mmm333 replied to spudbunny's topic in First Year After Licensure

    This thread was started when the nursing glut was seeding in certain areas- now, two years later, it has spread across the entire country, even to the places that were considered "wide open" at that...

  19. Japan needs nurses, STAT

    mmm333 replied to betakurt's topic in General World

    It's the Chinese characters. If you try to learn 5000 Chinese characters the hiragana and katakana alphabets, and the various levels of grammar that depend on who you are speaking to, you'll soon...

  20. New Grads - where is there a nursing glut?

    mmm333 replied to spudbunny's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Perhaps we can resurrect this post with a 2010 update? California is definitely still suffering a glut as of summer

  21. Japan needs nurses, STAT

    mmm333 replied to betakurt's topic in General World

    While most Japanese are exposed to English in school and can read a little bit, MANY cannot speak English at all when it comes down to it. And the older they are, the more they've forgotten. You...

  22. Japan needs nurses, STAT

    mmm333 replied to betakurt's topic in General World

    A small number of American nurses could probably pass the test, many of them Japanese-Americans who also studied the language formally. But among this small number, how many could pass the test, and...

  23. Welcome to your new job! Lesson #1 Lock up your valuables!

    mmm333 replied to SimonJester's topic in General Nursing

    That's part of the dark side of Home Health. Real Estate Agents are big time victims of violent crime, but I'm not sure about home health nurses. Every home health nurse, male or female, should be...

  25. Welcome to your new job! Lesson #1 Lock up your valuables!

    mmm333 replied to SimonJester's topic in General Nursing

    I walked into the break room as a nursing student and found a female physician cramming my packed brownbag lunch into her mouth, leaving none of it. I just sat and watched TV and didn't say anything,...
