Hello! My senior rater just told me that I'm a candidate to fill a brigade nurse opening here for our infantry units. I am not really sure what they do...can anybody tell me what their experiences are with brigade nursing? Thank you!

I would take your cert as soon as you can! I'm about to take mine (ANCC). However, I believe you have to be an RN for 2 years before you can apply. If you apply online, you will receive your ATT (Authorization to test) via e-mail within 48 hours. The...

I'm an active duty 66H, however I'm working on the L&D floor at a small MEDDAC and working as a 66G. We have LDRP's here. Not sure if it's like that everywhere else or not. If we are having a "baby boom" and our LDRP's are filling up, we will sen...

Unfortunately at my hospital, a large teaching hospital, they are phasing out LPN's. They have given the LPN's a certain amount of time to complete their RN to keep their jobs. One of my LPN co-workers is working on her classes now to make the transi...

I'm about to graduate from an entry-level MSN program. I know exactly what you're going through. I worked hard on my pre-reqs (even had to take one of the classes again to get a higher grade). Before this program my grades were just "ok" but not wond...

Thanks so much everybody for your input! I've had spider veins in my R leg since I was a girl and am very concerned about DVT's. Based on your recommendations I'm going to look into the full length support hose. Thanks again!

Just a random question: do you use support hose? I'm about to graduate from nursing school and one of the nurse preceptors on my unit was raving about them yesterday. :)

That's so thoughtful! I graduate next month, YAY! And I also promise to be nice to new nurses in the future :)

I am a student nurse but have given lovenox a million times with my preceptor...never heard of putting pressure on the site. Interesting!

Good Morning! I've been an active duty Army officer for about 10 years now; currently I'm finishing a program where the Army sent me to a civilian institution to complete a degree in nursing and then return to a military hospital. I graduate next mon...

Thank you :)

Thanks everyone, this really helps. Unfortunately I'm part of a student detachment and have never physically seen anybody from my unit. They just ask for me to email in my APFT and my grades...and that's the only contact I get from them! :) Based on...
