48 years cutoff for the Army. That's with all the waivers. There is definitely a need for Nurse Practitioners but age is also a discriminator. I should know because I commissioned as an RN at the age of 39 :)

Rusty Nail for RN :)

xx2 would stand for RNs with 2 years of experience. xx3 with 3 years, etc.

The best to explain the supply and demand for RNs in the Reserve component (and National Guard, as well as Regular Army) is the AMEDD Journal: http://www.cs.amedd.army.mil/AMEDDJournal/OctDec2011.pdf Check out the graph on page 85.

I stand corrected. This time and age you can probably get a Google Earth view of the whole hospital...

GB is growing quite an empire: Green Beans Coffee. Starbucks beware.

We fobbits like our Green Beans coffee :)

Here is the second part...

I dare to disagree. Military nursing (Army specifically) is a decent job for men too.

# of beds sounds a little on the OPSEC side but who am I to judge? If any of my friends goes to my Facebook page, they would hardly know I am an RN, and an Army RN one at that. You just never know who's listening.

If I were to go into Psych I would probably choose Dominion. Let me ask you another way: if money were no object, would you rather go to Georgetown, George Mason or PG Community College?

I wish you guys the best of luck! I have always been impressed by Georgetown's Nursing program. Remember that they also have their Pre-Med option available to Nursing majors.

Joined the US Army :)

Watch Baghdad ER (HBO) and if you are still ready, join the US Army :) Depending on your specialty. Army deployments are now 9 months.

Weren't they closed in 1942?
