  2. Do Male Nurses Get More Respect?

    jgcadet replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    You don't work where I work. Most of the patients are either drug addicts, from the local jail or just plain violent and abusive. They threaten, not just run their mouths. Even if management didn't...

  3. Do Male Nurses Get More Respect?

    jgcadet replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I have personally seen male nurses take less flak from patients and docs because frankly they are less likely to take it. I vividly recall a young male ICU nurse telling docs and patients alike if...

  4. What do you love most about nursing?

    jgcadet replied to NickiLynne11's topic in General Nursing

    Money.

  5. Where's the infection?

    jgcadet replied to LMH2687's topic in General Nursing

  9. Advice on military and graduate degree

    jgcadet replied to MavrickMan's topic in Government, Military

    You can join the reserves and guard easily and go to school. Now joining as a nurse is a different animal as the govt is currently gimped manpower and budget wise. Schools are getting cut left and...

  10. From RN to PA in the military

    jgcadet replied to coconutzz's topic in Government, Military

  11. ROTC Vs. Direct commissioning

    jgcadet replied to armynursingstudent's topic in Government, Military

    Honestly it depends, remember nursing is the number one priority in all situations though. Some nursing cadets really want the same experience as all other officers, others don't care (You have to...

  12. Army Nurse Candidate Program FY2011

    jgcadet replied to LindzRN's topic in Government, Military

    I don't understand, ROTC and nursing are definitely doable. For what reason would you be missing LDAC (a commissioning requirement btw which you can do the summer after your junior/sometimes senior...

  13. New Fiscal Year Decisions

    jgcadet replied to New1LT's topic in Government, Military

  14. Is there any shortage of military nurses?

    jgcadet replied to sholtzma's topic in Government, Military

    As of right now and for the next few years, there is no shortage. (unless you have some serious experience or furthered

  15. New Fiscal Year Decisions

    jgcadet replied to New1LT's topic in Government, Military

    That makes sense, but I would assume that the air force and navy would long will fill up before the army. Traditionally, the army has more slots and the other branches seem to fill up faster...

    jgcadet replied to Jessicaeileen's topic in Government, Military

    Yes you can get the scholarship (2,3 or 4 year) although it is becoming more and more competitive. If you have two years of college under your belt you would have to attend a month long course called...

  20. what color is your scrub-achute?

    jgcadet replied to fungez's topic in General Nursing

    I think dark solid colors for determining differences is the best (along with name tags in bold print) Sorry the white and designer scrubs look

  21. Do you regret going into nursing?

    jgcadet replied to Crystal112's topic in General Nursing

    Sometimes I wish I went straight to the PA route. As I finish up school I seem to be more interested in the medical model of practicing rather than the nursing. In addition it seems that city...

    jgcadet replied to fungez's topic in General Nursing

    jgcadet replied to Z A C H's topic in Government, Military

    jgcadet replied to Z A C H's topic in Government, Military
