   O1E [your 8 years of service gives the E] You will be commissioning with zero years working in your field with your level of degree, hence the 01E. Make CPT in 4 yrs it goes by fast

2. Wanted to bounce some ideas off military nurses, USAGPAN

   zombie replied to easypeasylemonwheezy's topic in Government

   I dont see being in the reserves as being a leg up in my opinion, join the reserves only if you want to be in the reserves. Don't do it for USAGPAN, just be solid on your ICU experience and get the min requirements, have a solid GPA in your science ...

   Perhaps it's gossip. But I don't think it is. I think things will change in slowly, like in steps/stages. Won't he over night. But it will change.

6. Army Nurse Corps FY2013

   zombie replied to AjaxAndronicus's topic in Government

   I have worked civilian ICU and military ICU and have floated to the floor at times. "Generally" speaking I have noticed that staff throughout the hospital in-patient wards are not balanced optimally vs. civilian sector. I would take 2-3 patients or...

   Hi SGT, I see you have 6 years left on your enlistment. You may want to look into the AECP (Army Enlisted Commissioning Program). There is some info on the Army HRC website under the Officer/Nursing branch website. I think you need to CAC in. Its...

13. HELP PLEASE! What branch do I join as an LPN??

    zombie replied to LiveTheLifeYouLove's topic in Government

    Air Force does not use you as a LPN. Your basically a tech. I don't know about Navy. The Army would class you as a LPN, be prepared though to do other jobs though. But, your foundation will be a LPN. If you go Army there are programs that will he...

14. People really do ask you for medical advice! Wow...

    zombie replied to tenjuna's topic in General Students

    People always ask for advice, but rarely do they follow it; and most of the time they know the answer to their own question. Stop smoking, exercise, lose weight, and stop smoking crack. Stuff like this is common sense and I don't even have to be a nu...
