Did you have any luck? I work with nursing home pts doing oversight, and can't figure out what a good ethics write up might be TIA

I have accepted a job starting in early February. Does the pact RN do mostly phone calls> room patients? what exactly do they do. I am coming from the hospital, fast paced covid floors. will I find the work boring?

Thank you! And enjoy!

Thank you! I'm in the midst of the process, if course the week I got my tentative offer I also found out I needed back surgery. Thankfully it sounds like they will still take me after I'm cleared. Did you get a decent offer salary wise? I won't hear anything for 6 weeks when I'm cleared from surgery. Congrats!!

hello! I was just told I got the job as a pact nurse. I have a MSN in nursing education, with 10 years RN and 13 years LPN experience. I was a medic in the guard for aout 10 years. Did you start as step 3? Did they ever increase you to a better rate? Do you like working for the VA. So far I am very excited! Thank you!

Can you tell me how detailed the physical is? I have to have back surgery in December, but will be recovered by the time I start. ( just a microdiskectomy, so not too involved) Will this hurt me as far as my acceptance. I told them I would like to start in like February, so not the faster covid processing. Thanks!

Are you still happy with this program? I am considering attending in August. Thank you!

I have been accepted to start in august 2020. How do you like the program so far? I would appreciate any input at all!

I am considering American sentinel as well. How do you like the program so far? Have you heard any reviews regarding how hard they are to work with when getting clinical rotations?

I currently teach at a local tech school. I have been there 2 years. I started out teaching CNA which we dropped, now I am teaching pt care technician. I really enjoy the job, love MOST of the students. The job is very demanding, I have 30 kids in my class for 5 hours a day, and must keep them "entertained" during that time. It is not like the nursing school WE know. These kids are here because they have to be, and the when they are not interested in a task it can be very difficult to keep them on task. It is a bit like herding cats, however I do like it. I am currently looking to teach on the college level, as I feel myself losing my clinical skills. Interview Friday!

I am interested in finding a job in school nursing. Where do I begin? I looked briefly a few months ago, and it appears I must have a school nursing certificate to even apply for jobs. Does that sound correct? There is a substitute nurse position in my district, and I will apply for that this week. Where else should I look? ( I have bsn...1/2 to Masters in nursing education)

Great information about the difference. I called an officer recruiter today. I'll call air guard tomorrow to. It's looking like there are too many nurses right now anyway. Do no tuition reimbursement for me!

Right! Like I said. .. wouldn't Lie. It's not how I do things. I really want to enlist, but I doubt I could. While I have never been diagnosed I do have a significant history from when this all started. One can dream. ..

I did icu for a year. Night shift was great, as we were all new rns who worked together. When I went to day shift I found myself back in junior high with gossip, cliques, and head games. The manager was horribly ineffective I'm type A, but I'm not viscous, so I just couldn't give it right back to them. I moved on to the ER where I feel supported and respected daily. I will never work icu again because of that experience.

I am prior service, with 14 years guard experience. I've been out since 2000. About 5 years ago I started falling, bumping into walls, vision issues, paresthesia. I see a MS specialist and have no plaques or any objective signs of ms. In fact for the past 3 years I have been getting healthier than every before ( just lost 60 pounds and ran a half marathon) I have very few symptoms now, all subjective and would really like to join the guard again. I MISS it, and would love to rejoin as an officer. I called the recruiter and I should qualify for age (I'm 45 but with 14 years I should be able to sign up until I'm 49) he encouraged me to not tell them about my history. Just get through the physical with amnesia of my medical history. I CAN'T do that. I will need a waiver anyway as I've had neck surgery with a fusion. (No limitation ...surgery is 10 years old) I did have a vitamin d deficiency, and was hoping that could explain away my symtoms. I'm trying to post this to a medical board on allnurses., but I can't find a way to post t to the specific board. Please feel free to move it if you know how Thanks for any insight!
