    Split Personality

    SoldierNurse22 replied to LadyJovial's topic in General Nursing

    NICU in Air Force

    SoldierNurse22 replied to UCAFblue's topic in Government, Military

    The biggest thing about joining the military is that they use you in whatever capacity they need to whenever and wherever you're needed. So while you may go in with an identifier that specifies that...

    Active Duty Military Seeking Career Advice

    SoldierNurse22 replied to coast2coast10's topic in Government, Military

    It is possible to apply to BSN schools with zero previous education. That's how I (and many traditional college students) did it. However, as the first PP indicated, you will need to be in the US in...

    Rejected..No Facebook?!!

    SoldierNurse22 replied to cosmos2007's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Don't worry--I'd have been rejected too. I'm an odd millennial in that I don't have a facebook, twitter, instagram, linked in, etc. I feel I have better things to do. And I won't tell you to make a...

    Any Military NNPs out there?

    SoldierNurse22 replied to BabyRN21's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Honestly, I know the Army doesn't utilize NNPs. I'm not aware of any other branch that does, either. @babyRN, the military does use specific AOCs and identifiers for nursing specialties. In the...

    SoldierNurse22 replied to Lynda Lampert, RN's topic in General Nursing

    My grandfathers were both WWII vets, one of whom died in the past few years and one who passed on decades ago. Both of my uncles were in Vietnam. The grandfather who lived until recently was just...

    Marines or Nursing School

    SoldierNurse22 replied to blueman09's topic in General Nursing

    Why make it a decision between the two? It sounds like you'd be a shoo-in for Navy ROTC. The Marines don't have a nurse corps. They use Navy nurses instead. If you did NROTC during your college...

    Why is Nursing not in the top ten most stressful jobs for 2014!

    SoldierNurse22 replied to chiefaics's topic in General Nursing

    I like how the article mentioned enlisted military personnel and generals right off the bat, but they failed to notice everyone else in the military--those officers who lead enlisted personnel and...

    Big bad bullies

    SoldierNurse22 replied to ljrn135's topic in Emergency

    Well, consider yourself fortunate. I'm not sure how you believe you can so completely assess my attitude off of one post, but as a preceptor, I have no beef with new grads as a whole. However, that's...

    Big bad bullies

    SoldierNurse22 replied to ljrn135's topic in Emergency

    Well, have you never seen it, or have you? In a relationship of any kind, respect always goes both ways. If a newbie comes in all over-confident and acting out, of course that's

    Big bad bullies

    SoldierNurse22 replied to ljrn135's topic in Emergency

    Honestly, what do you expect the experienced nurses to say to over-confident newbies? And why is it that only the older nurses are being corrected on this issue? It would appear that this is a...

    Hospice Volunteering counts for pre-req for Nursing School?

    SoldierNurse22 replied to LoveSickHero's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Volunteer experience does not in any way, shape or form take the place of clinical hours in your nursing program. In clinicals, you will be taught by a clinical preceptor and floor nurses, and guided...

    What to expect

    SoldierNurse22 replied to greyL's topic in Government, Military

    Just to give you some idea of how things can go, I am a married Soldier living away from my husband. I will be separating active duty very soon, in part due to the fact that the Army isn't the career...

    PORTS

    SoldierNurse22 replied to jcc1990's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    In all reality, the volume of your average port is less than 1mL. I've worked in a hospital where the standard of practice IS a 3mL Heparin flush. I wouldn't worry if I were

    The hardest parts of nursing?

    SoldierNurse22 replied to calivianya's topic in General Nursing

    Agreed. I have a lot of difficulty when patients are really emotionally open with me because I tend to be very emotionally closed, especially with strangers and at work. The ironic part is that I...
