Can any current students comment on their thoughts on the program so far? How do you like the classes, professors, clinicals? Thanks! Riversurfer Boise, ID

Anyone use their research class from nursing school for the[COLOR=#566573] Undergraduate Research Methods Course? Or did you take another research course prior to applying? Regards, Riversurfer[/COLOR]

I want to pipe in here! I am a Registered Nurse with a little over 2 years experience on a surgical unit. I will be taking a job next month on a telemetry unit and plan to parlay that into a CCU within a year. My next step in the Army Reserve recr...

It's been difficult finding a post addressing this very question: How good is a particular ICU? I know it's preferable to work in the nastiest, biggest, baddest ICU available, but I would rather not live in downtown Chicago, but put equal weight on ...

Thanks manusko.

Thanks for taking your valuable time to reply to posts and provide information. I interviewed for an ICU job today in Idaho. Their floor does not do open hearts and brain surgeries, but does everything else. The open hearts and brain sx's go nex...

I would like to venture into critical care within the next year. Is it my responsibility to do this through the civilian side solely, or would this be an option through the Army Reserve? The recruiters have told me Active Duty is not as likely of a...

Any Army insiders have insight into Advanced Care Nursing in the Army or Army Reserve? As mentioned in a previous post, I'm considering Army Reserve Nursing, but would like to attain NP, PA, or CRNA. Is there still an option to do this through the ...

Thanks for the article. Concerning the graph, what does the x-axis represent?

The more I think about it, the more excited I get. It could be one heck of an opportunity.

Thank you.

I am a Registered Nurse with almost two years experience on an inpatient surgical unit. I recently submitted my application to the Army Reserve. The recruiter seems to be very interested. I am curious as to why the Army is interested in Reserve RNs w...

Thanks you two. I will look into it. Last statistics class I took was back in '98, so I'll take that one again. Besides, I just love school, and the challenge.

Hi, I'm in my first year as a new nurse, BSN prepared. I'm setting myself up for ICU soon and eventually applying to CRNA programs. I've heard through the grapevine that programs require/like applicants to take a statistics class and a graduate level...

Great. I hope CRNAs do become educated at the doctoral level. That'll just be more applicants turned away, more respect and skill within the field, and less competition for me. Bigsky

I am a 30 y/o male graduating with my BSN in December and am considering the Air Force. I want to work in critical care (just finishing a six week ICU internship and loved it). I'm willing to work a med-surg type floor for a year or two before ICU. I...

I decided not to pursue Air Force. I have an application on file with the Navy, but am not certain I want to follow that route. Good luck to you.

Congratulations Thipp!

I've got all my paperwork in with the exception of the Duty of Preference form. I'm torn between San Diego and Bethesda as my first choice. Can anyone expand more about these two areas? I have a personal interest in critical care and CRNA school at s...

Have any SRNAs gotten their intensive care experience at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN? As a new grad (BSN), have they traditionally offered advancement opportunities to ICUs for staff nurses? Thank you, BigSky

Let's say a Bachelor of Science in Nursing graduate wanted to enter and serve his or her country as an Officer in the United States Air Force. This graduate had experimented with marijuana four times as a senior in high school and the following year....

i decided not to pursue the air force route. one reason: the RIDICULOUS anti-drug policy, subsequent interrogation, and the mentality that goes along with it. whose business is it if someone tried pot a few times in his or her life, PRIOR to joining ...

Take a graduate level pathophysiology class and pull an 'A'. Maybe retake the A&PI and pull an 'A'. Prove to the schools you apply to that you have the determination to buckle down and get through the rigorous program.

SouthernBelle25, I spent four summers in AK and loved. How did you get started as a bush nurse? Did you go through Indian Health Services? How were the pay and benefits? I think it would be great to learn those critical thinking skills very quickly i...

navynurse06, 30 y/o male, BSN completion in Dec. 09, looking at Air Force or Navy as an opportunities to build my skills. I see that you work ER in San Diego. Can you tell me anything about the ICU's there in San Diego, or even the ones on the east c...
