    Considering a career as a RN in the military?

    SoldierNurse22 replied to RainbowHead's topic in Government, Military

    I've recently spoken with a ROTC commander, and he was saying that the vast majority of their ROTC nurses aren't getting active duty. It is very, very competitive. The number of those even eligible...

    Calling patients and/or co-workers "honey" or "hon"

    SoldierNurse22 replied to Emergent's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    In my particular situation, using terms of endearment is typically a show of blatant disrespect (if directed at me) and could easily be construed as disrespectful/inappropriate were I to use them with...

    SoldierNurse22 replied to hershdawg's topic in General Nursing

    While there are aspects of my job (mostly interpersonal having to do with coworkers) that I don't enjoy, I always have and continue to enjoy the actual bread and butter of what I do as a nurse. The...

    Can permanent residents join the Army Nurse Corps as an officer?

    SoldierNurse22 replied to JasonKa's topic in Government, Military

    And to be quite clear, I'm telling the OP that the information you get from the Army's general website is not necessarily going to apply to them. Commissioning as an officer is different from...

    Can permanent residents join the Army Nurse Corps as an officer?

    SoldierNurse22 replied to JasonKa's topic in Government, Military

    Ahhh, that explains it! No problem at all. I'm on active duty in the process of getting out, so if I can't find it in the info I have from ACAP counselors, I'll email one and ask

    is it safe to mix your own chemo in an outpatient oncology setting?

    SoldierNurse22 replied to gvrn13's topic in Patient Medications

    I was on the oncology ward for 6 months before I took the provider course. During that time, I was not allowed to handle chemotherapy, much less mix and give it. I shadowed an RN on the ward for 1...

    SoldierNurse22 replied to jflo2014's topic in Government, Military

    There are many, many threads on this under government/military nursing under specialties. Short story, unless you just want to be in the service and you don't care what you're doing, don't enlist...

    SoldierNurse22 replied to OUxPhys's topic in Government, Military

    They don't usually hire new grads, but you'll get veteran's preference and if you've got disability, you'll get extra points for that as well, so ...maybe? With regards to a resume for a federal job,...

    is it safe to mix your own chemo in an outpatient oncology setting?

    SoldierNurse22 replied to gvrn13's topic in Patient Medications

    I worked both outpatient and inpatient oncology. I'm stunned because of the level of risk associated with chemotherapy, especially the mixing piece. It was risky to the point where they created an...

    I think you mean "tit for tat". In case you don't, I'll take tack.

    SoldierNurse22 replied to RNsRWe's topic in General Students

    Well, that's mature. Turning to threats and insults when someone calls you on how unprofessional and at-risk you're putting yourself. At least it's members of this board that are searching you, and...

    is it safe to mix your own chemo in an outpatient oncology setting?

    SoldierNurse22 replied to gvrn13's topic in Patient Medications

    Are you saying you're not certified to give chemo? As in, you haven't taken the Chemo & Biotherapy provider course? If so, I'm amazed and a bit disturbed that you're allowed to handle...

    Have you caught up to the email addresses and Instagram account, too? It's sad, really, that anyone in this age would think that it's safe to put all that information out there, all tied up pretty...

    SoldierNurse22 replied to RNsRWe's topic in General Students

    I'd be more concerned if I were able to be identified in 2 seconds on a simple internet search. If you're a real nurse, you're much more naïve than you ought to be. I'll let those reading this board...

    While I don't feel like you appreciate the gravity of the situation, I'm relieved that you some how have this "protection" and don't need to hide your privacy. Based on your photo and Twitter, it...

    It still has potential! Now would be the time to cue that stand-in we were looking for in place of Ladi. With RNsRWe down for the count, maybe you, me and Redhead can scrape together that cash after...

    Are you on Twitter, perchance? Because the lady I found by the same name suuuuure looks like you. Yep, it's just that easy with a name and photo. BTW, your haircut looks nice. See? I'm a few clicks...

    If you cannot respect the terms of service when it comes to using a particular site, perhaps you oughtn't use it at all. Also, real name + photo = bad
