  1. Just enlisted 68W ARNG

    jgcadet replied to BCNBF's topic in Government, Military

    LDAC is roughly a month long stint at FT Lewis where you are evaluated as a future leader. Your evals are compared against all other cadets in the nation and used as a tool to see what branch/duty...

  2. Nurse Candidate Program or ROTC or Loan Repayment

    jgcadet replied to T-Dasha's topic in Government, Military

    Do the accelerated MSN or if you want the officer development (tactically and structurally) do ROTC. Either way if you are in the medical or law related fields you can direct commission without going...

  3. Civilian life AFTER Corpsman life

    jgcadet replied to testing109's topic in Government, Military

    Maybe process wasn't the best word, rather experience...He told me that he really appreciated the skills he learned as a corpsman translate over to being in a sometimes hectic ER. Pretty much he went...

  4. Civilian life AFTER Corpsman life

    jgcadet replied to testing109's topic in Government, Military

    OP, keep in mind with SOME PA programs the pre-reqs expire after some years...Today I met a fleet-marine corpsman gone PA at my gym who gave me a lowdown on the process..If you want I can

  5. Civilian life AFTER Corpsman life

    jgcadet replied to testing109's topic in Government, Military

    True, the fastest way to being a PA would be going straight and to the point. However, I thought since he posted this on a nursing forum (when there are plenty of PA/medical forums out there) he would...

  6. Civilian life AFTER Corpsman life

    jgcadet replied to testing109's topic in Government, Military

    Well you need a bachelor science degree for PA to begin with plus the pre reqs...I mean you could go nursing then PA (something still in the back of my mind) Specifically, PA and NP have vastly...

  7. Army Nurse Corps

    jgcadet replied to elumine's topic in Government, Military

    Haha I didn't mean to be a Debbie downer, just the info I have heard form my counselor and battalion

  8. Army Nurse Corps

    jgcadet replied to elumine's topic in Government, Military

    Filled-quota cold shoulder I am guessing...wait till the end of the fiscal year. Unless of course the budget and slot allotment takes a dive

  9. Entering Army or Air Force as a Nurse Officer

    jgcadet replied to Jennifer22's topic in Government, Military

    I have talked to a experienced army LTC nurse who has worked alongside all other nursing branches of the military. He told me the army is vastly superior in terms of training and dealing with...

  10. Unmotivated recruiter???

    jgcadet replied to traumaowl's topic in Government, Military

    The services are full nursing wise until the end of the fiscal year so its not surprising (Plus there is probably a list of already qualified people waiting to get in)...However, she/he should not be...

  11. Army Nurse Corps - Airborne school?

    jgcadet replied to forwaters's topic in Government, Military

    I know in ROTC the slots for airborne or air assault are really not that hard to get even for nurses because they lump us all in as cadets. With that cadet connection the army assumes we can branch...

  12. CPR Certification online...

    jgcadet replied to mandi_b_07's topic in General Nursing

    All the nursing schools I checked didn't accept the AHA online course. They wanted hands-on training specifically for the CPR for HEALTH CARE WORKERS. Honestly I wouldn't waste the money online and...

  13. CPR Certification online...

    jgcadet replied to mandi_b_07's topic in General Nursing

    No, you need to have in class room practice...This is mandatory for all nursing schools that I know of as well as employers. Costs 75-100 bucks for the specific course for health care

  14. Job opportunities within the army?

    jgcadet posted a topic in Government, Military

    Perhaps a better rephrasing would be....What opportunities are their away from the hospital/clinic setting? Can I teach medics? Perhaps become a nurse in a public affairs unit? Maybe become attached...

  15. July 09 OBLC

    jgcadet replied to wisergeiser's topic in Government, Military

    can a direct commission officer even be a gold bar recruiter? i mean it would kind of weird for a officer with no military experience teaching cadets

  16. Nursing shortage?

    jgcadet replied to shrasberry's topic in General Nursing

    The military..guaranteed 4 years in a specialty CC, ER, OB ect..however you need a BSN and they are filling

  18. Taking A&P II as well as MicroBiology?

    jgcadet replied to Ohdust's topic in General Students

    A/P 2 is a lot of physiology and more demanding than A/P 1.....just consider

  19. Is my SAT scores to low to get me into college level algebra?

    jgcadet replied to Widdiewonka's topic in General Students

    Maybe it is I am going off of the people I knew who took the

  20. A man in a seemingly female driven career

    jgcadet replied to guest042302019's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I have come to the conclusion that it is impossible to keep men out of nursing. Why? Well traditional nursing has been a low paying ,subservient, saturated field yet with the recent economy and job...

  21. I'm Lazy

    jgcadet replied to Tozz's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Well personally I got in a study group with all females which helped me a lot. Even though they would go off onto tangents that didn't involve nursing

  22. Is my SAT scores to low to get me into college level algebra?

    jgcadet replied to Widdiewonka's topic in General Students

    While 490 is below average I don't see why it should be a problem especially at a CC. At the local CC around me they require you take a CC entrance test to place you rather than using the

  23. What unit is a new nurse assigned too?

    jgcadet posted a topic in Government, Military

    For instance when a nurse gets his/her order to a hospital what sort of unit would they be in (i.e patch worn on the left shoulder)? If you are stationed in peace time could your unit still be a...

  24. What unit is a new nurse assigned too?

    jgcadet replied to jgcadet's topic in Government, Military

    Thanks! Couple quick follow up questions...What is PROFIS and is that last patch you displayed what all nurses wear when not deployed? Would CONUS (or nurses in Germany) nurses be assigned in...

  25. How much difference in pay do two year rn's get than four yr??

    jgcadet replied to bigmac018's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    That's great you got an upper management position with your AA degree. However lets face it, getting a BSN greatly increases your chances of getting into management and is required for jobs like CRNA....
