It's a lot of work, but I work 40+ hours and can't lighten my load (military) plus I have 3 toddlers sooo... haha! You definitely need to have self-motivation to keep on track with reading and assignments. Two semesters down and just starting my last "didactic" semester before my clinicals start. With the pandemic, I'm reaching out now for preceptors.

My admissions advisor called me to let me know, and then I had to accept by replying to their email notification. Still waiting to hear from my enrollment advisor for class plan and my school email info.

Yes around there. I haven't received my course schedule yet, but it will be either 4 or 5 semesters.

I also just got accepted to the Spring start! Which program are you in? I am doing the post masters PMHNP.

This is an older thread, but wondering if anyone could tell me how doable it is to take NUR 541 (15 weeks) along with NUR 513 (8 weeks). Community and Evidence-Based practice. Thanks!

I work on postpartum and we also have a PPH kit in the fridge. Cytotec, hemabate, pitocin, methergine, syringes, gauze, alcohol pads, flushes and I can't remember what else right this second.

Have you ever thought about doing ROTC while going to nursing school?

Ditto. We have 150-200 deliveries a month and I'm lucky if I see one or two per month.

SVD is usually Q8H 800mg Motrin, with PRN tylenol, percocet, or T3 for those intolerant to the percocet. Our C-Sections get duramorph epidural with toradol and percocet for breakthrough 24hrs after surgery, then motrin/percocet similar to SVD after 24 hours. Some get IV tylenol (Ofirmev) depending on allergies. I'm a big fan of Ofirmev. I feel that it really potentiates other pain medication.

I graduated in October, conferred in December and went to ODS in January.

NCP duration is 2 years max, so you have some time to get your grades up before you apply. It doesn't hurt to start talking to a recruiter now, but they probably won't even let you apply until you are near the halfway mark as you can't swear in with more than 24 months of school left.

You can obtain an RN-BSN degree online with the NCP, that's how I did it. As long as it's NLN/CCNE.

With your CCRN, you're guaranteed the critical care subspecialty code that defines you as a critical care nurse... But you are not 100% guaranteed an ICU position in the Navy. Yes, it would be silly for the hospital to take someone with their CCRN and stick them somewhere else, but it could happen. Just being honest.

There is a lateral (redesignation) board you can find at the NPC website, but I'm not sure that the nurse corps would be included in the needs right now. There was a new NAVADMIN released (048/13) that specifies which communities are available.

The Tiki, My oath of office shows present grade date of December 4th. I finished my program in October but wasn't officially conferred until December and I didn't go to ODS until Jan. I am prior enlisted. Word of caution: Make sure you fax your paperwork (NCP enlistment, oath of office) including DD-214 directly to BUPERS no matter what your recruiter or ODS says. They won't handle it and you won't see O1E pay until 3-4 months and even longer for the back pay. In fact, I didn't even get paid until the last week of ODS. It was a nightmare.
