4. Under DHA, centralization of military healthcare

   Guest374845 replied to gilversplace's topic in Government, Military

   From what I've seen and heard in the Air Force, peds, OB and L&D will either become staffed by non-mil (or atleast non-AF) nurses or moves off-base altogether. For example, Langley has already...

   Guest374845 replied to sjcades's topic in General Nursing

6. 'Force feeding' at Guantanamo

   Guest374845 replied to IKnowYouRider's topic in Government, Military

   Did you really just resurrect your own 5-year-old thread? Anyway, same sentiment now as in 2013: The military doesn't need you, but you need us. You enjoy dissent from the comfort of your home, safe...

   Intoxication isn't a legal basis to hold a patient. Steady gait, wants to go, free to go. Your triage obligations are GCS, +/- LOC, +/- seatbelt sign, pain/tenderness, and extremity CMS. All good...

10. COT and timeline

    Guest374845 replied to sammitate's topic in Government, Military

    Your experience may differ from mine, but I recall something in my credit check paperwork saying that if it was being run, authorization to oath was ~1 month away max. You may be asked to complete...

11. New Trauma Nurse Help

    Guest374845 replied to Mariah87's topic in Emergency

12. Improving ED flow

    Guest374845 replied to ER3KateRN's topic in Emergency

    You'll need to get some solid data to find your true bottle neck(s), e.g. door to doc, door to room, door to dispo, etc. Unfortunately, the ED is becoming something we treat like a patient in and of...

13. Which unit requires the most knowledge and critical nursing skills?

    Guest374845 replied to tsipareht's topic in Government, Military

    I'm not quite following either but I'll assume you're referring to funneling your civilian and reserve income into the same retirement. If that's the case , look at the

    Concur with jfratian, but am I understanding correctly that depression is on the problem list in your EMR records from the accident that you have to submit? If that is the case, upon seeing it MEPS...
