    Sometimes there are jobs on base...it's just a matter of asking the right person. :) There's a hiring freeze going on in general right now, but that doesn't mean they're not

    Disabled & Hating it

    Reading your story is a strangely familiar tale. I know many, many people like you. They have been, either by injury or illness, limited in their physical capabilities much earlier than they could...

    mismanagement of diabetes in hospital

    SoldierNurse22 replied to wiley6coyote's topic in Diabetes, Endocrine Nursing

    As Canada's system is different from the US, I don't have a great deal of personal experience to offer in your situation. However, it is noteworthy that when I worked inpatient, our docs would confer...

    Agreed, though I admit that in my travelled past, there was a time that "y'all" fell frequently from my lips. I've been slowly recovering from my time in Texas. My family was worried for a while...

    This is my all-time favorite AN move. You know they're not really leaving. They're too wrapped up in it by the time they get to the point that they're threatening us with their absence (boo hoo). So...

    Can you change schools midway?

    SoldierNurse22 replied to justcuriousRN's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN
