I'm so happy you didn't take my note the wrong way DWILDCAT. As I said I'm also in the same boat and with a few months to get back into shape. So hang in there we will both be fine. And for rusty nail I agree with you. I often wonder where they get ...

I have been in your shoes on several occassions and I know how you feel. I don't want to sound rude, but instead of worrying about the tape test do you think that you might be able to loose whatever amount is putting you over the edge that makes you ...

I like hearing that, at least it keeps hope alive. Can't do it if we don't try.

Hello, Does anyone know if there are any Army Reserve Nursing Units with Airborne personel?

Now that's funny. I haven't heard that since I left active duty. :)

I'm not 100% sure but I think that there is an Airborne Medical Unit at Ft. Bragg. And don't worry about the Airborne Tab over your unit patch. Most people in the military know that there are certain units that may not be all airborne but the patch h...

is enlisted life vs. officer life just as opposite as in the marines? as a prior enlisted in the army and a warrant officer in the army, i can tell you that i did see a big difference between the two. just as i also saw a difference between the warr...

THanks jeckrn and ImThatGuy for all of your good information.

Kool. At least that gives me a little hope of getting back into an Airborne unit. I guess FST's are like the old MASH units.

Thanks for the info.

Thanks for the info.

Yes that is what I mean. I am trying to find out if anyone knows of any Airborne Nursing Units in the Army Reserves. Or any units that allow RNs to be Airborne.

Hello Everyone, I am kinda new at this posting stuff but I have seen a lot of good information here, especially by LunahRN; thank you. But now to business. I am a 50 year old male, in good shape with about 10+ years of prior service. I will be done ...

LunahRN I remember in one of your previous posts that you said to get the uniforms BEFORE going to your duty station. But how do you know what to get and where to get it? Because I don't think that we can get stuff at clothing sales until after we ha...

RNMSN78 As I am still fairly new to this board and posting thing, but would it be okay for me to ask what state has this recruiter issue? Reading your post got me kinda nervous because I know that I will surely need an age waiver.

Hi mttzakr87, I would like to suggest to you to hang in there. Just think of all the work you have done and have already passed to get to the point where you are at right now. I understand that i can be very frustrating, but there are other options. ...

I really don't think that you have anything to worry about with your GPA. Like I said, I have seen people with worse GPA's at ABAC. But the bottom line is that you have already been accepted to a nursing school. CONGRATULATIONS! :yeah: And yes, ABAC ...

Yeah, I later found out that for most of the class that was taking it with me, it was their 2nd or 3rd time taking it, so they knew what to expect. But it's okay. I got into ABAC and I will hopefully be done in three more class days.:yeah::yeah::monk...

Will do, thanks LunahRN. The worst that could happen is that they say no, which would be the answer anyway if I don't try.

Hello Smart99guy, I tend to agree with the other posts. Last year I was debating on which school to go to ABAC or DARTON. My GPA at the time was 3.9 so I thought that I would not have any issues with either schools. So Darton contacted me first and I...

Hello HADD7, I am in my last semester at ABAC. I am going through the bridge program and will be done in about 3 weeks. With regards to the GPA all I can say is that I had a 3.9 on my science cl assess, but I have spoke with individuals who only had ...

Hi, as an ACLS instructor, I can tell you that you do not have to wait until after your NC LEX to take ACLS. It is just usually recommended that new grads wait so they could get some experience. But if you feel comfortable with rhythm interpretation ...

Thank you LunahRN. As all of your posts have been "da bomb". You always have great information and are always very informative. Do you think that I may have an upper hand for the 66T track based on my Paramedic skills? This sounds like an area that...

Thank you for the info and the uplift, this makes me feel a lot better.

Hello JustADream, Even though I am also in the process of completing my nursing school, I have been in the medical field for over ten years. So here are my . I would like to suggest to you to get some time in an E.R. especially if you can find a bus...
