    My previous

  2. LPNs who are jealous or resentful of RNs??

    Corvette Guy replied to RNsRWe's topic in General Nursing

    I agree 100%, in otherwords consider the source. IMHO, the ADN programs have better opportunities for hands on clinical experience vs. BSN, or LVN/LPN programs. However, I've been up the educational...

  3. Thinking of Joining Military, Need Advice!!

    Corvette Guy replied to mojopsych's topic in Government, Military

    Military Health Care Recruiters are usually of not the same breed as the enlisted military recruiters. Therefore, my primary suggestion is contact an Army [i'm biased] Health Care Recruiter in your...

  4. Do we HAVE to address docs by "Dr.--"

    Corvette Guy replied to kmokay's topic in General Nursing

    :yeahthat: ... I agree

  5. Wearing scrubs home??

    Corvette Guy replied to Rn2bKatie's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe you should move to another city that is not so

  6. Do we HAVE to address docs by "Dr.--"

    Corvette Guy replied to kmokay's topic in General Nursing

    When we see men of worth, we should think of equaling them; when we see men of contrary character, we should turn inward & examine our own heart. -

  7. Do we HAVE to address docs by "Dr.--"

    Corvette Guy replied to kmokay's topic in General Nursing

    Well, sounds like his heart & attitude are in the right place; because we "were

  8. Bird Flu pandemic and you.

    Corvette Guy replied to Dinith88's topic in General Nursing

    The avian influenza possibility was briefly discussed during my critical care nursing course at Madigan Army Medical Center [graduate this Thursday!]. However, I guess I can't really elaborate to your...

  9. Scrubs...Pointless Unless We Leave Them At Work

    Corvette Guy replied to SkateBetty's topic in General Nursing

    I like the idea of the hospital supplying the scrubs. At Madigan Army Medical Center, at least in the ICUs, scrubs are provided. You come to work, grab a set of scrubs for the day, then before you...

  10. Does this bother you?

    Corvette Guy replied to Gods child's topic in General Nursing

    I wonder what stance the National League of Nursing [the accrediting body for nursing education programs] is going to take regards to this Govenor's idea? I can see this being doable for programs like...

  11. Do we HAVE to address docs by "Dr.--"

    Corvette Guy replied to kmokay's topic in General Nursing

    In my world, an LVN is an enlisted Soldier, RN is an officer and an MD is an officer, and not always does an MD officer out rank an RN officer. Sir & ma'am is the common address for both RNs...

  12. Male Nurses/female Patients

    Corvette Guy replied to ern91's topic in Men in Nursing

    Bottom line, explain to the patient what needs to be done, why it needs to be done, then professionally ... git-r-done.

  14. I'm confused? LPN bridge 2RN or straight RN

    Corvette Guy replied to aruss03's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    OMG! You have been accepted to both RN & LPN programs? No question [iMHO] accept the RN program, ASAP. I went the long route; CST-ADN-BSN ... started school in 1994 & finished RN-BSN program...

  15. A mom feeling guilty...

    Corvette Guy replied to reese19's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    "I keep telling myself that I am going back to school not only for myself, but also for my family. I know it will benefit my little boys, too. Right now, we live paycheck to paycheck, and we are...

    Corvette Guy replied to sirI's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    critical care nursing is where it's at! i appreciate your willingness to keep this forum squared away, welcome

  17. LPN's in Critical Care

    Corvette Guy replied to ALCCRN's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    I know for a fact [my new phrase, LOL], that Army Medical Centers use both civilian & military LPNs in their ICUs. IMHO, it works just fine for those LPNs that are strong in critical care nursing....

  18. Stethoscope: Littmann Cardiology III vs. Master Cardiology

    Corvette Guy replied to Nurse-perverse's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I agree 100% for the little price difference go with the MC stethoscope. My wife bought me an MC for my b-day last April and I'm more than pleased with the quality. However, if I'm not using it, or...

  19. GRE Dilemma

    Corvette Guy replied to BEN_RN12's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I took the GRE twice, but both times scored I've heard of CRNA programs that will waiver the GRE requirement for those applicants with 3.5, or higher GPA. Before spending a lot of time on studying/...

  20. GPA questions

    Corvette Guy replied to 1CVRN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I know for a fact, the UTHSC-H CRNA program requires a 3.0 GPA & 1000 GRE [w/3.5 on written portion]. My issue was not GPA [mine 3.766], but GPA GRE. Good luck with your GPA dilemma. Hopefully,...

  21. benefits

    Corvette Guy replied to caligirl03's topic in Government, Military

    Are your referring to active duty [AC], or reserves [RC]? Anyway, I've done both. First of all, no apologies required D/T you have asked some excellent questions and I'd like to touch on a few of your...

  22. Olympia: Capital vs. Providence?

    Corvette Guy replied to Kauneus's topic in Washington Nursing

    Susan & I love the Olympia area! We live in Tumwater close to South Puget Sound Community College. I work at Madigan Army Medical Center & Susan works at ST Peters, Stepdown Unit [we are both...

  23. Best Washington City

    Corvette Guy replied to Gem_jewelry's topic in Washington Nursing

    OMG! When we moved from Texas [the Hill Country area around Austin is beautiful!] to Olympia, WA we drove through Kansas and that place is uglier than West Texas, LOL! Susan & I love the South...

  24. hey you what should i do

    Corvette Guy replied to alison07's topic in Washington Nursing

    Seattle is beautiful! When I graduated from nursing school back in 1998 I knew my passion was cardiac patients. Fortunately, my last clinical rotation was on a 64-bed Telemetry Floor and the Charge...

  25. Roll Call for all Military and VA Nurses and those considering the Service

    Corvette Guy replied to RNPATL's topic in Government, Military

    My son enlisted into the Army Reserves in 2000 [now an Army ROTC Cadet] and after the 9-11 tragedy I gave serious consideration into coming back into military service. I'm a USMC Vet [1980-1988], but...
