I agree.

When I was in a unit that was such a bad fit that others would secretly meet me to tell me their own 'horror' stories of similar experiences over the years, I realized I wasn't alone. You aren't alone. It really sucks to be the target among a group i...

Hello, I'm sure other posters may have replied that the waiting game for the background clearance checks, (which have to be done before they can 'offer' you the job as I understand,) can take 3 months. I know of people who applied for GS nursing jobs...

Hello, edit: your right, it involves narcotics, I'd get that cleared up quickly. I would let the nurse know what you came across, in a respectful teamwork way. I'd also let her know that you wanted to give her the chance to annotate the error and to ...

I've been at my facility for 9 months and was surprised they delayed the bath until the 24 hour of life care. I bought right in soon. Jen

Hello and yes there are civilian nurses who work in the GS system and are SANEs.

Hi again, you could always have the Military train you in their ER course too and then pay them back the time working in their er as active duty, (although I see you aren't looking to go active.)

Hello, As best as I understand it the Reserves deploy the highest and the Guard less. Jen

Hello, Currently there are men working in OB at my Army hospital, some are civilian some are Army. All are welcomed by us as caregivers and most of the patients rave about the care from the men. Occasionally there will be a family that prefers women ...

Hi, edit: I found the information I was looking for here: https://allnurses.com/alaska-nursing/work-in-alaska-652479.html thanks! --- I'm working in the interior and am starting to wonder if maybe I will stay in Alaska when my contract is done. I'm c...

Hi, Nice to read you neighbor. :) I just finally rented a dry cabin and am becoming a fan of this state, more than I expected I would. Not sure about my current work climate but, that is a side bar. How are the hospitals or clinics nearer to Anchorag...

Hello, If your husband is Military and you are a nurse it might be a great idea to get into the GS federal employee program. Then every time he PCS's then the GS system will PCS you too, (with no loss or break in your work record either.) Jen p.s. th...

Hi, Are you asking if an RN can work under the supervision of a Clinical Nurse Midwife in Alaska? I am not sure why you list the entry degree as the only credentials because that is their degree program and not a certification. Doesn't a Clinical Nur...

Hello, I don't see any problem with them and have worked with many health care staff who have sleeves. Jen p.s. edit to add: no doubt a full sleeve took a much greater committment than just a weekend and that was only 'one' of them. :)

Hello BK, I think you are right. It looked to me like HippieChick was accepted as part of her commisioning package, (smart way to go!!!) I finally signed and sent my acceptance to the LTHET in last week. I sent the acceptance to NEU months ago but, ...

Hello, I'm pretty sure it wasn't my stats that got me in but they at least justified the acceptance, (make sense?) Here is the less than stellar stat breakdown followed by what I think got me in: My undergrad GPA was just under 3.8 I think, (perhaps ...

Hello fellow USAGPAN applicants. I just found out Sunday morning that the supplemental board results for active duty military was posted on the website. Although last week when I called HRC, (human resources in FT Knox) I was told I would receive a ...

Crawfor! UPS?? Oh, I am sorry for that. Just yesterday afternoon I called the education officer of HRC and he told me the board had only met this week and they were not done yet. I guess they are whittling. Shoot, if I was you, I'd call up and pet...

Hello, While I am not in anesthesia the wording I use prior to connecting someone to their monitors is to say something like, "I need to connect you....or.... its time to hook you to the leads....or....its time for these, (while holding the leads and...

Hello Destined for Greatness, Does the VA pay your way for the USAGPAN or do you have to pay on your own? When I got accepted for my RN program initially it was first a junior college that accepted me first and I went to their orientation. Shortly ...

Hi there, I understood that the packets had to be in by the deadline of Sep 15th but that the board was meeting at the end of the month. If it helps to know that the initial board packet application deadline was March 30th but they didn't meet unt...

Hi again, The suspense is killing me too! I almost, almost backed out of applying to the final LTHET, (I suppose a serious case of cold feet due to 'anticipatory marriage to the program!' !) Thankfully that only lasted about a day and a half. My pac...

Hello Holly, I am guessing the VA panel is the same Board as for LTHET through the Army, (meets Sept 15th!) I've read that it is a quick board. Whereas the first board deadline was March they didnt' meet right away but, for this one they should. ...

Hi, I hope by now you've gotten your acceptance email and letter! I am so glad that mine came but, I still have to apply to theh LTHET supplemental board in two weeks. Hope they pick me up too!! I was a late comer for the first board and had to t...

Hi, A fello LT who is applying to another LTHET program told me about the in class KAPLAN course which was a grand. Another LT mentioned that it was steep as well and she said that KAPLAN does have payment programs. Personally I am leary to take that...
