  2. tricare questions

    midinphx replied to midinphx's topic in Government, Military

    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...

  4. Countdown to May COT...

    midinphx replied to midinphx's topic in Government, Military

    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...

  5. Curious

    midinphx replied to bart0922's topic in General Nursing

    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...

  8. Backbiting

    midinphx replied to celticgirl's topic in General Nursing

    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...

  9. Working during nursing school

    midinphx replied to believeallispossible's topic in General Nursing

    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...

  10. waiting, Air Force Nurse Corps

    midinphx replied to Wac44's topic in Government, Military

    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...

  11. Forward motion ...

    midinphx replied to Lunah's topic in Government, Military

    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...

  12. A day in the life. Military Nursing

    midinphx replied to midinphx's topic in Government, Military

    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...

    midinphx replied to MarywoodMurse's topic in Government, Military

    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....

    midinphx replied to midinphx's topic in Government, Military

    Do I wear my scrubs or change into others when I get to work? Do I need to buy new scrubs? eeek! More

  15. NTP bases??

    midinphx replied to MarywoodMurse's topic in Government, Military

    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...

  16. A day in the life. Military Nursing

    midinphx replied to midinphx's topic in Government, Military

    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...

  17. Forward motion ...

    midinphx replied to Lunah's topic in Government, Military

    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...

  18. Countdown to May COT...

    midinphx replied to midinphx's topic in Government, Military

    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...

  19. Med Error Question

    midinphx replied to Dawn108's topic in General Nursing

    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....

  20. Xigris

    midinphx replied to TigerGalLE's topic in Patient Medications

    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,...

  21. A day in the life. Military Nursing

    midinphx replied to midinphx's topic in Government, Military

    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

  22. Countdown to May COT...

    midinphx replied to midinphx's topic in Government, Military

    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...
