Congrats on getting selected! I'm currently in the Navy, I have been in for 12 yrs (enlisted). To answer your question about detailers, once you get selected for a set of orders they have to wait for the funding to "release" them. (each set of orders cost the Navy about $5,000) once that happens its just a matter of time before you get your hard copies. I have received orders in as little as 2 1/2 weeks other times it has taken close to 2 months. Hope this helps, any other questions about the Navy feel free to ask! Josh

OH MY GOSH thats horrible!! after that case im sure you welcomed the "clean ones" who just needed a annual check up! lol I think i would have lost it with the roach! Thanks for the story! that made my day. that was about as bad as the one i read about the old lady that put a peanut butter & jelly samwhich in her vag. nurses' didnt find it for a few days, you can imagine the smell!

i agree, but she said she would rather be do something like peds. which is fine i guess, but you want to do what you want to do right? I didnt get any support when i said i was going to flight school either. so i put most of that on hold cause it wasnt bringing any food to the table. nursing would be faster and more practical, atleast this way im not gone 15+ days a month flying all over the world. i dont know. i'll prolly just (try) do it anyway lol! im going to have to do it in clinicals anyways so whats the difference!? I keep tellin her its not like im going to be examining supermodels all day, there are some nasty girls out there! didn't help! haha

Hey guys! So how many of ya'll work in women's health of any kind? and how does your wife/GF feel about it? Only reason I ask is because, I told my wife I would like to work in OB and she made the comment the other day that she couldn't be with me if I was in that field. because I would be seeing and touching other girls private parts. I know it sounds dumb from a medical standpoint, but its not like I'm a perv just doing it to " catch a peek" I have a real interest in women's studies. lets face it they have more stuff going on than us guys! anything I might be able to say to her that might make her feel better about this? I know there is a huge chance that I may not even get to work in that field, but even if I was to work in say the ER I would still see " girl parts" so I don't get it. so if you can relate to this situation any inputs would be great thanks! Josh

Thats cool! hope im as lucky! Would you/have you worked in a clinic? is it better or worse than a hospital? just wondering, because im not sure what i wanna do yet. i have a few ideas but really want to just see what im good at and go with that. The aera's that im thinking are peds or something in women's health like ob, (but not L&D)

Gotcha!

Yeah that makes sense. Did you know what Dept. you wanted to work in when you was fininshed with school?

So, do you think they would let me shadow a CRNA as an LPN?

Sounds good, Thank you for the info!

HI! Just had a question about the hiring process, When you get hired, do you tell/ask what dept. you want to work in or do they just tell you? or do you bounce around from dept 2 dept (if your not specialized) Thanks for any info! :) Josh.P

Well it sounds like you have already made your mind up that prayer " dont work" ALL religons pray to thier Gods for healing. There are all kinds of medical miracles that DR's cant explain out there, even they will tell you " it had to be some kind of devine intervention" So try opening your eyes to something bigger than you !

If you want evidence if prayer works then read the Bible, lots in there for ya! Further more, Pray for your PT's See how thier lives change, as well as yours! Jeremiah 17:14 Heal me, O LORD, and I shall be healed; Save me, and I shall be saved, For You are my praise.
