  1. Fastest way to learn spanish?

    0402 replied to USMCseng's topic in General Students

  2. Which is the quickest way to get an RN - BSN degree if I already have a BS in another

    0402 replied to lunacat's topic in California Nursing

    Your post is a little confusing, but I'm assuming that you're not an RN yet and are looking for RN programs. If the schools won't allow you to apply for a traditional BSN without retaking GE credits,...

    0402 replied to suiteums's topic in Post Graduate Students

  5. Who is working tonight?

    0402 replied to Poi Dog's topic in General Nursing

    1900-0730 here. My kids are too little to stay up that late anyway, and I'm too tired to stay up, if I wasn't working- I'm sure I'd be out by 2100 at the latest.

  6. Worried about other than honorable discharge after 20 years.

    0402 replied to NurseJZ's topic in General Nursing

  7. How do you keep awake on a slow night shift?

    0402 replied to TylerDurdenRN's topic in General Nursing

    I like to check the news (sleeping during the day and heading straight into work makes me feel disconnected from the work some times). The other night, one RN was reading Jane Eyre- she was going...

  8. Army Reserve Nursing

    0402 replied to dfdsue's topic in Government, Military

    Sorry- CONUS is in the US, so backfilling somewhere like Walter Reed or Ft. Bragg or Ft. Knox, etc. OCONUS would be outside the US, so that could be anywhere from Germany to Afghanistan or wherever....

  9. Army Reserve Nursing

    0402 replied to dfdsue's topic in Government, Military

    When I just spoke with a reserve medical recruiter a few days ago, he said that if the whole unit is deployed, then it would be for 1 yr, but if you do a CONUS backfill, that would be 6 mo., and an...

  12. How Much Nursing School Debt Are You In?

    0402 replied to cbcle's topic in General Nursing

    I have a good deal of debt, but it was well thought out and looked at in the perspective of what we can afford. My loan payment is a little less than 1/2 of one paycheck. So, if I was the only...

  13. New grad, military spouse. VA?

    0402 replied to nursingcares's topic in General Nursing

    Many of the MTFs don't have new grad programs- AD or civilian. You really need to be near one that does, to have any chance at all, and even then, it's extremely limited. I'm a vet an a military...

  14. How to find volunteer work on Christmas Day

    0402 replied to GoodNP's topic in General Nursing

    0402 replied to Guest717222's topic in General Nursing

  17. Student Moms

    0402 replied to CNM2B201?'s topic in General Students

    When I started nursing school, my kids were 1, 3 and 4. The youngest being one was important to me, personally, because I knew that if he was still nursing when I started, it would only be morning...

  18. Where to start?

    0402 replied to Cilantrophobe's topic in Nursing Career

  22. Can I work with one year finished of a direct-entry Masters prgram?

    0402 replied to lulu123's topic in General Nursing

    If they don't grant a BSN, then you'll need to be in a state that will license a non-degreed RN. I know CA does it, and I think there might be a few more (not sure,
