    FT Wainwright, Alaska is about one mile east of Fairbanks.The Army assumed command of this post in 1961 from the Air Force. The post was first established in 1940 as an Army Air Field, then later...

  2. Help: Interview questions for minority RN nurses

    Corvette Guy replied to paque80's topic in First Year After Licensure

    LOL, if I understand the OP correctly ... the request is for other minority RNs to answer the questions. Please help and answer the above questions if you can. I'd greatly appreciate. - TT...

  3. A nurse ate me as her young and I'm still paying for it

    Corvette Guy replied to RNnewgrad's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I see several issues that you could consider, ASAP. First, have no further discussion of this incident with the RN that complained about you... at least not w/o a witness. Second, talk to the Charge...

  4. I want to be an Army nurse!

    Corvette Guy replied to feb06's topic in Government, Military

    Army Health Care Recruiters only deal with officer candidates. So, the OP will need to go through a standard Army recruiter. Again, being very careful to examine the enlistment contract for...

    Glad your recruiters reliability has been reaffirmed. Sometimes they get a bad wrap. FT Wainwright, Alaska is about one mile east of Fairbanks.The Army assumed command of this post in 1961 from the...

  6. 1st assignments for army nurses

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

    No, I worked in the OR as a civilian nurse the past 4 yrs & in the Army Reserve Nurse Corps my designation [AOC] was also OR RN [66E]. However, upon my request at my Reserve Unit I was allowed to...

  7. Anyone 91wm6??

    Corvette Guy replied to feb06's topic in Government, Military

    Since you already have your LPN you will enlist as a 91WM6, rather than a 91W. 91W Soldiers [A.K.A. Combat Medics, or Health Care Specialist] later on in their enlistment are able to request the Army...

  8. I want to be an Army nurse!

    Corvette Guy replied to feb06's topic in Government, Military

    Enlisted nurses [91WM6] in the AMEDD are very valuable. LPNs in the AMEDD are given more nursing care responsibilities [within the scope of their license] compared to civilian LPNs, IMHO. In fact,...

  9. 40, one year too old for Army/Navy nurse candiate program

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

    FYI; this is not the same as a direct commission in the Army Nurse Corps, which 46 yrs old is the max age limit. I just did not want any confusion. However, I'd imagine your situation warrants waiver...

  10. 1st assignments for army nurses

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

    Before coming on active duty I requested Brooke Army Medical Center, but was told they had no ICU open spots. However, I was asked if I'd consider Madigan Army Medical Center, FT Lewis, WA, since they...

  12. Just turned in my packet!

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

    Outstanding news & keep us posted! FYI...It will take 2-6 months to get back a reply on your application packet. Do you know which Reserve Unit you will be assigned, yet?

  13. do you get to choose your specialty

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

    I have been in the military for over 11 years [combined active duty, reserves, and inactive reserves in USMC & Army Nurse Corps] and I cannot share your same sentiment towards the Army Nurse...

  15. Affirmative action for male applicants?

    Corvette Guy replied to 98.6's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Hmmmm... I'm usually against AA. However, for the sake of more male nursing students I'm encouraged by your post to think differently regards to AA policies. Plus, send my kudos to the two nursing...

  16. Need male nursing slogans.

    Corvette Guy replied to Dynasty's topic in Male Nursing Students

    IMHO, the nursing profession is no game, but whatever floats your boat, LOL. BTW, playaz change? Is that some kind of Male RN

    See Post #10 in this

  23. Change title of "Nurse"?

    Corvette Guy replied to AKell388's topic in Men in Nursing

    A Medic in the AMEDD is comprable to a civilian EMT. Plus, as RNs we practice the nursing model, rather than medical model. The more appropriate approach seems to me would be to educate the public to...

  24. Bad experience as Paramedic intern

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

    IMHO, that particular clinical instructor is making inappropriate gender-bias decisions and would never get my vote for instructor of the year. Whether or not a male nursing student is present at a...
