    Air Force vs. Army

    Gennaver replied to milwaukeewi's topic in Government, Military

    Hi, I think we'd need to know what you want before tossing our own preferences around. :) What is 'it' for me, (Army) may not be 'it' for you. Good luck and congratulations on contemplating Military...

    Gennaver replied to Gennaver's topic in Government, Military

    Gennaver replied to M3olatomiwa's topic in Government, Military

    Hello, edit ahead, to add: I do not necessarily agree with the poster who told you to get your BSN and work two years... You are an ADN? You have your RN? The Army reserves will accept that degree as...

    Gennaver replied to nursekatie22's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Site for NCLEX scores by state

    Gennaver replied to wannabenursetx's topic in General Nursing
