I was just wondering if there were any other Medics running around in here. I spent 12 years as a 91B out of that 6 were as a 91B2F. Speak out and let's hear from y'all. Steve

Have you considered working for the US military as a civilian? I know the Army has a website for civilian medical employment, good pay and benefits if you are working overseas,AK and HI.Just a thought. The Army website is medcell.army.gov or just goo...

I Think I saw a Alaska Travel Nurse group on Facebook if that helps any.

I see this is an older thread but I may as well post my scrub preferences. On my current contract my work uniform is Wrangler hiking shorts and a scrub shirt, the kind with plenty of pockets. Except this winter when it was -5 out and snow on the grou...

I'm a Psych Nurse most of the time, but depending on the facility I'm at I can be a Mental Health Nurse or a Behavioral Health Nurse. Right now I'm on a kids unit and between the kids and the techs I feel more like a babysitter, maybe my next contrac...

I have read that there are people posting that they are using only Study Group 101, there is one thing you have to think about, EC is preparing you to be able to pass the NCLEX as with all nursing schools. So are you gaining enough knowledge to do so...

When I was taking my exams, I down loaded the study guide, went to the 'book store' and copy and pasted the ISBN of the recommended books on a word doc. Then I would go to half.com and search for my books. You can always find book there a few edition...

To late to yell DUCK?

I just got a call from a recruiter asking if I was interested in an ER job in San Antonio. I am a Psych Nurse. I told her I had no ER experience, but I would consider a Psych/ER position, she then said it was ok since I had TNCC. What are these peopl...

Apply for as many job posts as you feel you are qualified for. Polish your resume, add courses such as ACLS, PALS, TNCC and ENPC, they look good on your resume and add CEUs for your next renewal. Take some courses on EKGs, you don't have to become an...

When I took the CPNE, I knew I was ready when I walked out the door of the test center with the white pass slip in my hand.

I did both ECs 6 credit test and UEXCELs 3 credit test, I got a D on the EC mostly my fault, I did not know when I tested that it was graded by a real live person, I guess I should not have made comments about the idiot that chose the test material. ...
