  1. Best Air Force Base Hospital

    CRF250Xpert replied to Lindsay Ann's topic in Government, Military

    Good news. When I was there, The ER imploded and became a UCC, ICU was all offices, and Med Surg had a census of 2 or 3. Good news was - we had a brand new gym. The bowling alley was across from the...

  2. Anyone know anything about Active duty Air Force Nursing in Hawaii (Oahu)

    CRF250Xpert replied to NursePamela's topic in Government, Military

    It depends on your specialty. Oh, and the USAF didn't become the

  3. Air Force to cut 2,300 officers

    CRF250Xpert replied to IowaRNBSN's topic in Government, Military

    Nurse Corps....MSC's are bean counters. They give you 15 mins to treat a pt with 6 Dz, renew 12 meds, do 9 referrals, and fill out 6 useless forms....great

  4. Best Air Force Base Hospital

    CRF250Xpert replied to Lindsay Ann's topic in Government, Military

    I think Lackland has a

  5. Invisalign

    CRF250Xpert replied to traumaRN1908's topic in Government, Military

    Go to a base with a dental residency program. They will likely dx you with a severe enough condition that warrants full tx. Staff docs don't have the time, but residencies - perfect training...

  6. Invisalign

    CRF250Xpert replied to traumaRN1908's topic in Government, Military

    You can use Invisalign, but it's all out of your pocket. If you can get diagnosed with a hypoplastic mandible or similar malalignment disorder requiring a Le-Forte, etc - we'll pay for it

  7. Medical Disqualifications--Should I even try?

    CRF250Xpert replied to ensru011's topic in Government, Military

    No offense, but I recommend people to be medically boarded OUT of the military when they have the multiple physch issues you mention. search if you'd like, as I made a similar post previously...

  8. Specialty question

    CRF250Xpert replied to deftonez188's topic in Government, Military

    The truth is that we just don’t have the volume to support such a specialty. If you have worked in a specialty vascular setting for some time, you’ve seen that there are two types of...

  9. Considering joining USAF however concerned about disqualifying factors.

    CRF250Xpert replied to Catch22Personified's topic in Government, Military

    not to offend, but to give you something to think about. you do know that when you go to war you are going work 12 - 24 - 36 hours straight during mass casualty events. you might have to work over a...

  10. Considering the Air Force as an NP, Advice?

    CRF250Xpert replied to iangood's topic in Government, Military

    your time adds to 9.5 years of license time unless i misunderstand what you wrote. with that, read the pay chart and use the o3e; that's where you’ll start with your experience. i'm curious what job...

  11. Fraternization (non-nursing question)

    CRF250Xpert replied to luvbug080688's topic in Government, Military

    If the real question is: “I’m an American officer and I want to date a host county enlisted person – is that fraternization?” The short answer is YES. Grade and rank equivalents are...

  12. rent vs buy

    CRF250Xpert replied to Yammar's topic in Government, Military

    Wholly crap!!!!! !!!!!!! That is the worst financial advice i've read to date. I'm up 100% on two house sales, up 40% on the last and look for +%20 on this PCS. This is the cheapest money in your...

  13. rent vs buy

    CRF250Xpert replied to Yammar's topic in Government, Military

    Instead of tossing a coin or asking folks online, research finance and see the last time money was this cheap and when housing was so affordable (as a percentage of your disposableincome). Money and...

  14. Air Force Mental Health Nursing

    CRF250Xpert replied to coconutzz's topic in Government, Military

    Of course it is. That goes for all of our specialties. We (mil service members) go to the same colleges, the same grad schools, attend the same GME, and strive to deliver the same standard of care...

  15. From RN to PA in the military

    CRF250Xpert replied to coconutzz's topic in Government, Military

    Actually, the USAF practice is that you are not going to PA school while serving as a RN in the USAF - ever. That's from me, an AD USAF officer in the Nurse Corps that researched every method of...

  16. From RN to PA in the military

    CRF250Xpert replied to coconutzz's topic in Government, Military

    well that figures. I did all of my research prior to then. The best fit was for me to stay USAF and go to an AFIT slot instead of USUHS Med school or Army PA

  17. Student Loans not covered???

    CRF250Xpert replied to burnoutward's topic in Government, Military

    The payback varies each year depending on how bad we need to incentivize jobs. Generally, loan repayment will only cover the subsidized portion of your undergrad.

  18. From RN to PA in the military

    CRF250Xpert replied to coconutzz's topic in Government, Military

    You can go from AD USAF RN to PA. The trick is that you have to leave the USAF and go into the Army. The Army takes commissioned officers into their PA program whereas the USAF does not (as...

  19. RNFA in the military

    CRF250Xpert replied to coconutzz's topic in Government, Military

    We don’t use First Assists in the USAF – ever. The resident is the assistant and if it’s not a training facility, the FA is the scrub tech. USAF nurses in the OR count rags and

  20. Graphics on a resume

    CRF250Xpert replied to newtress's topic in General Nursing

    ditto. I'm round filing resumes that aren't in the correct format. It's been well established in the business community what a resume should look like and there are infinite resources available in...

  21. Pain Management - Is It An Important Focus Of Medical Care?

    CRF250Xpert replied to ParamedicFNPwantabe's topic in General Nursing

    lol...then you've obviously never taken report on the radio from that paramedic who gives you GCS on the scene or before he intubated the PT. Sorry, but paramedics are actually intelligent and know...

  22. Keiser University a good or bad choice?

    CRF250Xpert replied to CombatMedic88's topic in Florida Nursing

    You can become a RN through any accredited university. Some folks never attend a brick and mortar school and have

  23. Air Force or Navy as new BSN grad?

    CRF250Xpert replied to mtmdy's topic in Government, Military

    I don't know where the nice facilities are that you mention. WHMC (the flagship - and yes that is a running joke) is 50 years old and shows every minute of its age. Portsmouth Naval was immaculate...

  24. CCAT

    CRF250Xpert replied to PokerRN's topic in Government, Military

    Don't confuse CCAT with flight nursing. CCAT doesn't have "Squadrons" stationed anywhere. If you are CCAT qualified - you do your job wherever you are stationed and when the deployment tasking comes...
