    I have a question concerning my degree

    Gennaver replied to ingui08's topic in General Nursing

    Hello, If you want to become a certified nurse midwife then I agree with your counselor, you will need a higher degree than an associate. If you get an associates in nursing first and then transfer...

    Gennaver replied to mamma3munchkins's topic in Government, Military

    Hello, If she is violating policy, (i.e. talking to patients and telling them that other nurses are giving poor care) can you take it up with COC? Telling patients that other professionals are doing...

    How do you keep from getting "too involved"?

    Gennaver replied to Cali_Rx's topic in General Nursing

    Hello, I think you have to define "too involved" in order to know when you've crossed over that line. As an empathetic person there is a risk of overextending yourself emotionally or wrapping your...

    Alaska anyone??

    Gennaver replied to The Little Greek's topic in Government, Military

    I hope it works out for you! Gen p.s. maybe you should put everything BUT this on your wish list, in order to keep the record with your recruiter and to really get

    Alaska anyone??

    Gennaver replied to The Little Greek's topic in Government, Military

    Hello, Just wondering because of BRAC, isn't WHMC's OB eventually goint to be at BAMC by 2011 or 2012 or so? If so, then that may also mean that your choice is the better one! I'm a new Army nurse and...

    ADN/BSN army reserve deployment Q's

    Gennaver replied to PhWanC's topic in Government, Military

    Hello Armygirl, I agree with you. It seems to me that a reserve Army Nurse officer will deploy regardless of their outside education pursuits, (reserve commissions nurse officers who do not have a BS...

    ADN for Army

    Gennaver replied to krazykev's topic in Government, Military

    Hello Gerry, Possible you mean NCO, non-commissioned officer. Ranks that begin with E, (at least in the Army) are for enlisted. The topic is about nursing in the Army and the Army doesn't recognize...

    Nursing as We Age.....

    Gennaver replied to acw2's topic in General Nursing

    Hello, I'm 41 now and realized a few years ago that not only do I not plan to ever retire but, that there will be no option as our grandparents and parents knew it, for us, anyway! Thankfully for me I...

    Some bad news...

    Gennaver replied to JazzyT's topic in Government, Military

    Hello, It is good that you came here to vent and process this. Now that you have, TRY again! My own packet was passed over two times for no reason at all and my recruiters and I were totally baffled....

    Gennaver replied to athena55's topic in Government, Military

    Hello Athena! Congrats firstly! While I do not know your answer, nor do I know how any rank transfer from Reserves to AD goes, I just cannot fathom them taking your rank away! Good luck on your boards...

    ADN for Army

    Gennaver replied to krazykev's topic in Government, Military

    Hi, I'm an RN who has no intention of being 'lured' out to civilian healthcare, I'm an Army nurse for many reasons and the civilian sector cannot compare to any of them. Yes, Army LVNs are notorious...

    ADN for Army

    Gennaver replied to krazykev's topic in Government, Military

    Hello, I worded my ponderings badly. More accurately it is the dichotomy between so readily accepting LVNs yet not ADNs, (LVNs are non-commissioned, why not take ADN as non commissioned as well?).

    How do you wear your scrubs?

    Gennaver replied to pumpkin1984's topic in General Nursing

    Hi, What is baggy? Do you mean just "too big"? The only thing I do not like about "too big" is that when you untie the waist to use the washroom your pants fall to the floor if you aren't hanging on...

    Gennaver replied to shoebottom's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Hi, I'd like to end up with a few degrees in multiple disciplines. I am not exactly sure what I plan on doing yet hope that it will always be in conjuction with patient care. :) Why do you ask?

    preparing for accelerated MSN, does anyone have advice for me? I have a Bachelor's

    Gennaver replied to sierrapi's topic in Post Graduate Students

    My first advice, (as a fellow entry level MS nurse) is to cease and disist calling it accelerated. That is a total misnomer, misleading and causes confusion. There is nothing accelerated about it, it...

    ADN for Army

    Gennaver replied to krazykev's topic in Government, Military

    Hello, And yet this is so baffling... I've never seen so very, very many LVNs in my life until I (recently) began working in an Army medical center. Granted, the LVNs are enlisted rather than nurse...

    Gennaver replied to The Little Greek's topic in Government, Military

    Gennaver replied to The Little Greek's topic in Government, Military

    Hello, Just following with an agreement of LCDR Dan's point. My own worries about the act were unfounded. I went to break my lease, with less than two weeks notice and figured that I'd have to pay the...

    Happiest Holidays to you Athena55, Someone gave me some very helpful advice for my sit ups and that was to actively use my hip flexors. She told me that the sit ups are NOT all your abs but, your hip...
