Well, my army /Germany experience is 33 years ago, but I try to keep current. Hawaii is fun, but Germany is a life changer. Landstuhl was cool, I did a few weeks there learning ENT follow-ups. Great food and a never ending choice of things to do....

I hope all of us are looked at as more than just gpa , because half of us are below average!

You should be able to find RN 2 BSN programs that will award significant credits for your diploma., it shouldn't take much longer or cost much more than someone entering with an AA/AS in nursing. Once you have the BSN you'll be on the same academic f...

Hi, just be aware that there are a few traps going into X-ray, as they have different levels of licensing, (limited) and that can be an obstacle to employment. Check CAAHEP for accreditation for any program you choose, as some are a costly mistake. ...

Here's what I've done in my class; there is 64 objectives identified and covered throughout the semester. We divided them throughout the class, each person responsible for one or two. I set up a FB group where we all network, and email the .doc's o...

I mean COME-ON! I've heard it noted that even before execution by lethal injection, an alcohol swab is used. I'm just sayin.....

Well, a long time ago I did my premed in zoology and wound up with a head of cool knowledge, but no real applicable skills, and never actually went to med-school. I always wished that I had done the RN as a premed (you have to study something!) and I...

OK nurse friends, I'm just a simple truck-driver turned SN, but I have noticed that similar to sleep apnea working in the evenings completely throws off our healthiest rhythms, such as inappropriate eating because of fatigue, boredom and even depress...

Mom, is that you??

You discovered the Zen of weight-loss-- One must walk where the donuts aren't.....:bowingpur

It's a scientific fact..... donuts come out at night.:icon_roll

Organize. Organize. Make folders for notes and bills in and out. Simplify everything you possibly can. Make sure you have pens and pencils, replacement printer ink and paper. Have a back-up plan for anything that can go wrong. Dry run to classes an...

Hi. There's no easy way to make this happen for you, but lets start with some fundamentals. The very last thing you want is an "F" on a transcript. It's difficult to transition while paying off debt and working, but not impossible, it just takes long...

Think 113 was hard, wait until you take 666...... it's Hell! Come-on, the only 113 I know was an armored track ambulance that I lived/worked in during the winter of 76 in Germany. if that's what you're talking about wear long-johns. If not-- I thin...

Exactly Sir. It's as if the those who oppose our right to organize have a terminal case of cognitive dissonance. They decry a Union and its 'handouts" while enjoying many of the benefits that were paid for with the blood and sweat of braver folk. ...

additionally everyone needs to realize that those at the top of management have contracts! yes contracts, just like the ones that they seek to deny the workers! also they join together in groups--unionize if you will-- but they call it the chamber of...

There's a lot to swallow with this comment, isn't there? One sentence and three non sequiturs--a record. Nobody is trying to destroy all corporations, only to balance all the power that they exert over us individuals. A middle class only exists when ...

There was a very good book years ago called The Gentle Art of Verbal Self-Defense. Also as one is away from a situation for a while we evaluate and strategize-- actually learning-- by thinking the problem through over time. However, do a reality-chec...

Yep.... Load-O-Crap, but you're making $ (notice only one dollar sign) while looking elsewhere, I assume. I admire that initiative, but don't get used for too long. They certainly aren't deserving your loyalty, so take care of your patients, meet yo...

Get legal advice. A contract must have equity between the parties (consideration). You not only performed to your ability and agreement, you also gave up other opportunities for that job, all of which is why employers pay a bonus. You may be due a la...

I think I might win this one. In the late 70s I was an Army medic/ortho Tech. After the military I worked my way through college as a habilitation tech, and did ortho at the VA. However I soon found that being 6 foot four and 240 pounds I made more...

That’s kind of a broad question, depending on each schools criteria and how much you have done…. Such as do they admit by GPA, some, even in the same district, have wait- lists, and then some give standing on a wait-list to previous applicants. M...

Is A&P2 the second part of a 2 part class series? If so you need to also be wary of doing them separate at different schools. I've had a few A&P classes over the years and they divide up the 1st and 2nd semester info differently, depending on...

I’ve spent the last 4+ years reading posts on allnurses while waiting to be admitted to NS. This is the first time I’ve found it absolutely necessary to reply. You see I went down that road, trained in echo-cardiography at an unaccredited program no...
