    rghbsn replied to KR's topic in Flight, Surface Transport

  4. Air Force Reserve Nursing and Deployment

    rghbsn replied to AKRN907's topic in Government, Military

    It also depends on what job you hold in the reserves. If you're a flight nurse, for example, you will deploy differently. The AFR does between 75-85% of all transports for the AF. The units are on a...

  5. Question regarding medical jargon

    rghbsn replied to bunneh's topic in General Nursing

    It is also becoming more and more frowned upon. For the reason that it not only can sound confusing (as evidenced here), but there are not really diagnoses that can be charged for that include the...

  7. flight nursing in the air force?

    rghbsn replied to KR's topic in Flight, Surface Transport

    Flight waivers are hard to come by when it comes to eyesight. If flying is the only reason you're looking to join, then I wouldn't do it. They would likely require a waiver every time you had a flight...

  8. CFCC?

    rghbsn replied to olliesmommy1005's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Good luck, I think you should be able to get in CFCC...but I didn't go there, so I don't really understand their system. Have fun, either way! It's worth the hard work,

  11. No AF Reserve on Mandatory Deployment?

    rghbsn replied to djmsailor's topic in Government, Military

    They HAVE to let you go to drill. There is no option for them. They do NOT have to keep you in the same position, same unit, etc. You could be told that they want you to work a Mon-Tue after drill...

  13. CFCC?

    rghbsn replied to olliesmommy1005's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Where are you living? Really the CCCC program isn't horrible, but they are very, very limited as to what they'll experience in clinicals. CFCC is using New Hanover Regional for many of their...

  14. No AF Reserve on Mandatory Deployment?

    rghbsn replied to djmsailor's topic in Government, Military

    Drill is going to be something you need to find out about sooner rather than later. I am a flight nurse, the closest AES (squadron) is in Fayetteville, NC (Pope AFB) and that is where I'm stationed. I...

  15. CFCC?

    rghbsn replied to olliesmommy1005's topic in North Carolina Nursing

  16. Proper Monitoring for IV Push Lopressor

    rghbsn replied to RN4U2009's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    rghbsn replied to djmsailor's topic in Government, Military
