Hi there, Hey, I gotta check out the youtube of the last class of 07 since that was my class!! Thanks, Gen

Hi Tuddy, I'm a relatively new grad and been on my unit off of preceptorship for five months now...however I am not on a tele floor. I feel like I have learned ...nothing...at all...in five months. My unit is an ortho floor, (initially I requested a...

Hello, I graduated from OBLC this last fall. The Army is such a personal decision and I commend you for considering it, it definately changed my life. While they told us repeatedly during Nurse tract at OBLC that we would not be burried on midnight s...

Hello, I have mentioned this in two threads already but, think it deserves its own thread. As someone who is just going through the recruitment steps and interested in active duty I am very, very intersted to know whatever I can about deployment. It ...

The tattoo should be no problem as long as it meets few guidelines: -not be racist or offensive -not be on your face, on the front of your neck, (forward of your ear) -not be on your hands and -not be visible while in your class A's, (yours will not...

Hello, The hospital stopped paying the contract agency? Yet, do the GS, Tribal and the USPHS nurses still get paid? I wonder if the contract agency knew this in advance or not....what a shame! Gen

Hello Sal, edit----> HOLD ON!!! If you are talking with a medical recruiter who is telling you that you will go to basic first then he/she may not me a HEALTHCARE recruiter, cease talking to them! Contact a Healthcare recruiter! I've heard of fo...

Hello Cobber, Yeah, imagine that, six months if your are deployed! However, someone explained it to me that I think its longer if you are assigned/profis's to a unit, you stay with them. Yes, I did get the assignment that I wanted, which was listed...

Hello, Actually, turns out that certain student loans do qualify for Military deferment. I do not remember where I found the details, think it was through the FAFSA site, so I just did a quick google to pull up whatever I could on it and found this. ...

Hello, Just recently I mentioned to a coworker nurse that I want to earn my Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner certificate and she shared that she is interested in Forensic nursing. I hadn't made the connection but, I guess they go hand in hand. I'm new ...

Hello, What do I think? I think that wearing scrubs is like walking around in floppy looking, ill fitting pajamas all day...Hmph. I do not feel like it makes me look professional at all and wish that I was not required to wear them. Gen

Possibly you are baffled by it because there was no condescending tone in the first place. I'm somewhat surprised that you took it that way, however, it is your perogative to do so. Cheers, Gen

Hi, Let me get this straight, you are advising folks to join the Navy, go through the request and wait to balance being accepted to the corpsman training program, fulfill your service obligation, (three or four years?) and then to move to California,...

Hi, Oh, somehow I doubt that being mind-numbingly bored would be "the" change of pace you are seeking. Sub-acute is no where near Acute. I've worked both as a tech and was hoping for "acute" again as a nurse but apparently I'll have to wait for a f...

Ummm, That might not solve the OP's issue. I went Army and am also stuck on the midnight shift and in ortho. If the op isn't stimulated by pushing pain meds and assessing tingling, numbness and motor ability...misses using critical thinking or any p...

Hello Dalesgirl, Yup, I'm on orders and ....edited to summarize: My inconsistant midnight schedule is just bugging me. Gen

Hi, I'm finally a new RN and finally in the Army nurse corps and finally on the unit and nearly off my preceptorship... I'm on the midnight shift and on the ortho unit and nice as the staff and patients are...I am very let down and deflated. Thing is...

Hi y'all, I'm conditionally accepted for a fall seat in the PhD in Nursing program at UTHSCSA. This is really exciting news for me. I'm from Chicago but have been living in SA since July, (I'm an Army nurse at BAMC). Nice to read you. Gen

Hi, My ATI predictor said I had a 97% chance of passing. I passed at 75 questions. Gen

Hello, Yes, I was non select twice and after the second time we did not change a thing in my packet, merely resubmitted it. I was selected on the resubmit. Do not give up hope. Sometimes it can be a factor not related to you but, some other glitzch ...

Hello, The cohort group of new nurses that I started with at my hospital, (Army Nurses) included five prior service, five men, ten women, five ROTC and five direct commission. Of this group five of the women are mothers with children ranging from tod...

cheers, gen

:) Hi, a degree that is Pre-Anything is any degree which concurrently fulfills pre-reqs for that degree. My Associate of Allied Health Sciences with a major in Biology was a pre-nursing degree. My Bachelor's of Sociology with a minor in Psychology w...

Hello, I am an RN, (direct entry MENP but not the NP, just the MS nurse generalist). The Army has a Health Professions Loan Repayment, (HPLRP) which will pay off a large portion of your school loans. Since my undergraduate degree was a pre-req for my...

Hello Kawain, Any time I transferred, (from associates to univeristy then between university) it always seemed like the university needed a year in order to fulfill their individual degree requirements prior to beginning the final two years of clinic...
