1. FY 19 Navy Nursing

   Gabby_101 replied to LvLI-ICU28's topic in Government, Military

   Just wanted to post an update for anyone wondering about active duty. I was recommended by the board back in November and hadn't heard anything until recently. This is what my (crappy) recruiter told...

2. FY 19 Navy Nursing

   Gabby_101 replied to LvLI-ICU28's topic in Government, Military

   My package went to the board in September or October. Just last week is when my recruiter said I had been selected and that they had no ODS openings until June. Hopefully they are planning for you to...

3. FY 19 Navy Nursing

   Gabby_101 replied to LvLI-ICU28's topic in Government, Military

   I heard from my recruiter last week. He said he had good and bad news. Good news is, I was chosen by the board to be a L&D RN. Bad news is, they changed all the L&D billets to ICU (for an...

4. FY 19 Navy Nursing

   Gabby_101 replied to LvLI-ICU28's topic in Government, Military

   I am also waiting to hear from the board. My kit was offically sent to them about a week ago. I have applied for active duty USN. I am credentialed in L&D. I have been a nurse for almost 8 years....

5. ER to L&D!?!?

   Gabby_101 replied to KimICURN's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I have done both and will say a busy day in L&D can be just as or more stressful than a day in ER. A lot like ER in L&D there's a lot of autonomy. You have to be confident in yourself and...

6. Do you have gifts for your new moms??

   Gabby_101 replied to shortstuff31117's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Wow I guess I didn't realize how lucky our moms are. They get a "celebration meal" for two that includes steak or chicken or other "gourmet" entrees as well as sides, salad, cake, and a bottle of...

7. Does Having CNA Exp Help so Much in Nursing School?

   Gabby_101 replied to proudmommy's topic in General Students

   I will graduate in May and I can't say that having my CNA helped so much with class work but it for sure did when it came to clinical. I don't know if I could have made it through nursing school if I...

8. Do you call your teachers by their 1st names?

   Gabby_101 replied to noyesno's topic in General Students

   All of my nursing instructors this far (semester 3 of 4) I have called by their first name because they have asked us to do

9. How much time do you *really*spend studying?

   Gabby_101 replied to yesitslaura's topic in General Students

   I don't really study very much. I would say a few days and the day before a test I study about 2 hours. Now clinical paperwork and pass/fail writing assignments...now thats another story. I would say...

    Gabby_101 replied to Getreal2011's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    We wore our own clothes for class, but we had to wear whatever scrubs were required by our clinical agency for

11. What does your uniform look like?

    Gabby_101 replied to SingDanceRunLife's topic in General Students

    We can either wear white or black scrub bottoms (guess what color everyone chooses..lol) and a royal blue crest brand scrub top with a patch on the left chest area. We can wear a white lab jacket of...

12. To work or to Not work?

    Gabby_101 replied to Disbdestiny's topic in General Students

    Of course if you don't have to work, don't, but who can do that, right? I feel the busier I am the better I manage my time as well like another poster said. If you are only taking fundies you should...

13. Pharmacology class

    Gabby_101 replied to tokidokifantasy's topic in General Students

    As long as you have taken A&P I would go for it. You may have to work a little harder because you are not in the nursing part yet and there maybe a few things you don't understand but then you...

14. What should I do!?

    Gabby_101 replied to brandn's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    CNA, CNA, CNA, CNA, CNA, oh did I mention CNA??!!!! lol The expirence is soooooo helpful when you get into nursing school. I'm sure I would have failed out of nursing school by now if I hadn't been a...

15. Patient Care Tech/CNA-same thing?

    Gabby_101 replied to CSellers3's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    I think it depends where you live. Around here (Indiana) PCT's are CNA's with a few extra responsibilites that they are taught on the job (like: inserting caths, doing blood draws, EKGs, or other...
