  4. VA hiring process 2020

    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 ...
  5. VA hiring process 2020

    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 rat...
  6. VA hiring process 2020

    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 ...

  10. Teaching in a Technical/Vocational High School

    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...
  11. How do I get started?

    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 positio...
  12. Can I qualify for military?

    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 f...
  13. Can I qualify for military?

    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!
  14. Can I qualify for military?

    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. ..
  15. Why are ICU nurses so rude?

    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 ...

  18. Things that nurses say that may seem inappropriate to lay people

    During clinicals LPN school several students were having a detailed conversation about whether you are to blow on it or suck.. We must have been quite naive,as none of us got it until a young doctor nearby started laughing.
  19. WGU RN-BSN 10/01/11 start...anyone with me?

    I am getting ready to start mid November. (Thankfully they are trying a new program to start classes mid month) is anyone else starting soon? For those who have started, how are things going? Any advice? Thanks
  20. Why are ICU nurses so rude?

    The pump issue is crazy!!! We are not allowed to take meds off the pump. we take their pump, settings intact, and give them one of ours. It helps avoid major issues.
  21. WGU RN-BSN 10/01/11 start...anyone with me?

    I am getting ready to officially sign up, hopefully for November 1st. Is this a respected way to get my BSN? Will employers scoff at a degree from this college? And is it fully accredited in all the ways that matter? ( I have never understood the w...
  22. WGU RN-BSN 10/01/11 start...anyone with me?

    @thecoolnurse... Thanks, I did get a referral. I am going to do the first part tonight, after the kiddos are asleep. Has anyone used financial aide with them? I filled my fasfa out months ago, just changed schools. I am hoping it works out.8)
