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

    zombie replied to easypeasylemonwheezy's topic in Government, Military

    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...

  3. Army medic and nursing

    zombie replied to Auguste25's topic in Government, Military

    99% of your job as a Medic will not be what you think it will be, its not that sexy. I am not sure about reserves, but active duty to become an Officer you must have your 4 year degree. Nurse Corps...

    zombie replied to kr681683's topic in Government, Military

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

    zombie replied to LiveTheLifeYouLove's topic in Government, Military

    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...

    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...

  20. No veterans preference for military vets who work as nurses at the VA hospitals.
