Anyone apply for this year?

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 like it they have no one to replace him with and he ...

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 they want to run their mouths or threaten (in the cas...

Money.

Elevated WBC doesn't mean infection always, does she have a left shift? Lactate? Sounds stress induced. What's her kidney function?

So you want to attend a school that requires 0 hands on check offs or clinical guidance aside from clinical time in your home state? Imagine a medical school doing the same thing.... C'mon be realistic, most reputable programs will require you to com...

ACNP as well, nothing yet.

If you apply for summer but can't enroll at that time can you rollover to fall? Also I was emailed a bannerweb jag pin number to check financial aid docs, does that mean anything?

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 right and PCSs are halted. In short the military is s...

For the army I know they allow anyone with a BS and pre-reqs done (exception is they don't accept nursing cadets... however after you fulfill your nursing 4 years active I don't see why they would care) Reasons for people going the PA route usually i...

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 decide for yourself if the time invested in planning ...

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 year)? Time management is the key. Plus you will be ...

Makes sense to me,the military is one of the few employers which will take fresh BSNs with no experience. All the hospitals around me are either A. Barely hiring or B. Require at least a few years of experience to be considered. With this economy, al...

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

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 regardless of job or mos (because of the (technical fields ...

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 LTC at Fort Knox to make up the lost two years of ...

Man that's unfortunate and disappointing ...I am glad I did ROTC when I could to lock down that AD spot.

BSN to progress into higher specialties like CRNA or NP or even management. ADN is fine for being a floor nurse with respective certifications.

That and it looks professional

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 silly...

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 policemen with no degree can start with higher salaries th...

I think color-coding is organized as well as professional. Leave brightly colored and designed scrubs to Peds and Labor/delivery in my opinion.

Lol woops I didn't see the age, maybe if you went back time 9 or 10 years? haha

I know it isn't "their"school, but they have a certain pull for slots ect. I was told it didn't matter what specialty you had, however the CRNA school I asked said ICU experience was considered the most competitive. I don't deny that ER/OR are perfec...

The army has its own school. I believe the kicker is you need a few years of solid ICU work.
