Thanks wtb. It sounds like it will be best to keep my son's insurance here with his dad? I think I'll enroll him any which way. He can keep his dad's here too. It's going to be weird going back...
wondering about prior service medals/awards. Would you/did you wear them with your uniform? Mine are Army and I know i'm authorized to wear them, but I'm doubtful that I should. Or is that just...
I've had film crews in a few times in ER's that I've worked. I think they just get in the way. The low acuity patients and the visitors like getting in the way so they can get on camera. The nurses...
Would you active duty nurses share with us hopefuls what a day in your life as a nurse is like? Please Include your service, station, and area you work. Thanks in advance for anything you care to...
Congrats Kathy!! It is an exciting adventure. Aren't you glad that age is just a number? :) Enjoy buying the uniforms. It is best to have someone with you to fetch different sizes and help hold...
If you don't like hearing the complaints, it is pretty easy to stop being a listener. Ask the complainer what he/she has done to correct the problem. It points out that telling you doesn't help the...

I worked while in school. I worked about 32 hours, took care of my house/husband/child, and went to school fulltime (at least 12+ credits) It was hard, but worth it. You see more, especially since...
Congrats WAC44! How exciting! I just bought my uniforms today. My family who has been an Army wife forever went with me. I definately needed the help! So I really hate the blue pants. They fit...
Not getting your answer means nothing. It means you get to sit around frustrated and anxious. My results took 5 months. But there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Really. I finally get to...
I'm off to get my uniforms today. I hope I have no problems. I have my commissioning papers and hope they let me get it all. I've listened to everyone's advice and I know it will all be just fine...
The Arizona NTP is off base in Scottsdale. They house you at the Marriott and you train at Scottsdale Shea or Scottsdale Osborn hospitals. this info was actually in the Nurseweek magazine I got....
I'm wondering why you are looking for NTP bases. It isn't necessarily where you will be assigned after your short stint at NTP. What are you looking into it for? Are you asking the right question...
I'm not an NP. I'm a critical care nurse. My master's is an MBA in healthcare management. I already had your suggestion about the underarmour socks from another thread. (told you I've been taking...
Raki, I enlisted at 18 and went away from home all alone for the first time. It is scary. You will have moments of being homesick. But you aren't alone and you will be surprised at how quickly you...
I don't have orders yet either. I commissioned, then wait orders, then can contact TMO. My recruiter said he'd make flight arrangements for me. I'm in Phoenix and would have to catch a really early...
Relax. Mistakes happen, even to the best of us. Be glad that, as you said, nothing happened. I wouldn't leave a job because of it. If you do leave, you do not have to ever even mention the error....
We use it. But I think we often use it too late. We have a checklist for when it should be used, but it doesnt' get the push it needs. It seems that by the time we pull out this last ditch effort,...
Changing the topic ... What do you wear at work? I'm wondering if I should keep my scrubs or give them away to my friends. And did I read somewhere that men's abu's are a better
Yeah Right, Pooh!! I know you would read the whole thing through too! You are just as anal retentive as I am. I can prove it too.... I can ask some obscure question about a reg and I know you'd go...
It's funny all us old enlisted heading back for more! I just want to ensure I'm one of the brass that they know is real. And that i'm not all full of myself and my rank. I'm still enlisted at...
