Is there any real difference in how Military Hospitals or orgenized/set up compared to a Civilian Hospital?

It's totally fine Ma'am. If you don't wish for me to use it, I wont use it. That simple. But you made some awesome points.

I've yet to meet a male Nurse, or NA that is gay. All the ones I've met are straight. Coolest thing about being a male in Nursing, is that you get to be around a lot of women. Worse thing about being a male as a member of the Nursing Team, is you ar...

Would you mind if I used this outside of the confines of this site? This is awesome info! If you don't want me too, I wont.

In Eastern U.S. in Western U.S. it's all Spanish.

I absolutely agree. Even on the Nursing Assistant side of the house, it's a SERIOUS issue when you have NAs who speak to each other in one language, and speak English only when speaking with you. Most times, they speak foreign languages as means to ...

With utmost respect, I am not a Nurse, I'm a Nursing Assistant aspiring to pursue my education and become a Nurse. but for now, just a humble servant of the Nursing Team. As an Assistant, we are used as the grunts. Have a combative patient, biggest N...

Is there any real difference between a Military Hospital, and a Civilian Hospital?

A couple hospitals I've seen, pay their nurses by specialty. If you're a CRNA, you can count on 250-350K+ per year. If you're an ER Nurse, talking about 55-58K. If you're a Surgical, talking 57-59K, just subtle differences. At least in Hospitals in W...

I'm currently just a Nursing Assistant. Not going to start up college courses until hopefully this winter. (if I don't Enlist by then) How has it been for you so far regarding the pursuit of joining the Nurse Corps?

You can't say that enough times. Ever.....

I'm a Nursing Assistant. Quite frankly, I can't speak for my superiors (LPNs/RNs) but I can speak about the Under Dogs. As a Male Nursing Assistant (can't speak for the others) Women will use you and abuse you. And not give anything in return! They ...

Is the Army Nurse Candidate Program only open to those with a BSN, or is it open to those pursuing a BSN?

Don't know fi this hasn't already been covered, but you can get your ADN/ASN and transfer to get your Bachelors. Or even get your bachelors online while working as an RN.

So for someone going for a BSN UW is good to go? Just not any Masters+ programs?

I hope so.

Well crap, where the hell is someone supposed to go after they get an ASN/ADN to get a BSN/BDN? ***?!?!?!? Where else in WA can someone with an ASN/ADN transfer for a Bachelors in their career field? Or will they have to "minor" in Nursing and pick ...

Thank you everyone greatly for your input, all of you. I hope to be one of the best NCOs I can be, and even a better Officer later on. I am sincerely thankful for all of your input. Anything else you'd wish to add, feel free. =)

I plan on serving my country when I'm able to. If not as Enlisted, than as an Officer. I'm looking into AMEDD heavily. In particular, this program http://www.goarmy.com/amedd/hpsp.jsp if I can get accepted into a BSN/BDN Degree after getting my AS...

After my ASN/ADN I plan to Enlist in the Army as either a Medic, or Infantryman, if Neither available, then Military Police. I've considered Navy Enlisted Side, but still kinda half and half on that one. For Navy HM, GM, and MA are what I'm into for ...

Did being a Corpsman help you at all in your Nursing studies? What was it like being a Corpsman for you? How was your Nursing School?
