I think I screwed myself! I am on my first travel assignment on a med/surg floor. However, the hospital I am at does not have any patients on the floor so I have been floated to the ER every night....

When I'm in the ER I take whatever patient comes in when I am up to take a patient. Turns out a patient died last year at this hospital so they closed the floor down. They can now admit patients to...

Under the nursing specialties, they have a military nursing forum where you can learn all about military nursing. Not exactly sure what you are trying to do. To be in the Navy ROTC you have to be...
I can give you a little bit of info on Bagram but it has been a while since I was there (2007). I was also only there for a few weeks getting all our gear ready to ship home, I loved the FOBs and...
I'm surprised there has been no response to this question. I thought this site had a lot of active duty army nurses. But I guess there is just a lot of us that have questions with almost no one that...
Great info. I read both blogs and they were really interesting. Both of these nurses started in stepdown units, how common is that for new nurses? I thought all new nurses started out med surg?...
I was wondering how competitive it is to get into the school? Or does it just depend on where you are stationed and if they have a need for a public health nurse? If you know of any tips that will...
Just wondering if anyone on here has used an Army recruiter out of the Kansas City office? If so is there a recruiter there that you would recommend talking to? I have talked to SFC AL from STL but...
Thanks for the reply. Not to switch it up on you or anything but for the AF did they make you go talk to someone in NE? I live in Columbia so I called the recruiter station in STL but I was told...
Hey MarkisRN, I was just wondering who your recruiter is. I live in MO and I have been talking to SFC AL out of St. Ann, are you talking to a recruiter from the same place? Just wondering if there is...
I am in the process of completing my packet for the army and I have a few questions, so if anyone has the answer I appreciate the help. Background: ADN RN, graduated May 08 and started working on a...
It was an army recruiter that I talked to. I am going to go ahead and not worry about the weight thing at this moment. So on to which branch I want to join. Thanks for all your help on this, I...
Thanks for the reply. So far I haven not turned anything back into the recruiter. Since he told me the first thing I needed to do was get my physical. And I am nowhere near the weight they want me...
Just a question regarding weight and the application process. I have some weight to lose also and I am putting off turning in my packet until I do because I thought the physical was one of the first...
I am trying to decide where I would like to be stationed. If anyone would like to give imput on anyplace they have been stationed it would be appreciated. I basically would like to know what the...
I am wondering what kind of unit you can be assinged to when you first join. Is it usually always a hospital or can it be a FST etc. What about working in a clinic? (I will not be entering into the...
Sorry I guess I didn't ask my question correctly. I know the difference between and an ADN and a BSN and I know you have to have a BSN for army nursing...prior military here. What I am trying to...
Just wondering if anyone had heard if this program is only for new RN's or if it is also for new BSN's. I already asked my recruiter and he is looking into it for me, but I just thought I would see...
I am trying to decide which service I want to join. Right now I have an ADN and I work on a surgical floor at a VA hospital, (working here since 6/08). I have 8 years prior service enlisted in the...
