  1. Navy Orders?

    MURunner86 posted a topic in Government, Military

    Anyone else having a heck of a time getting Navy orders? I was told my ODS date and first duty station, but nearly a week later, still no orders. I just want to be able to give 2 weeks

  2. Navy Orders?

    MURunner86 replied to MURunner86's topic in Government, Military

    My packet went to board on a Thursday and I believe I heard back the following week. However, my Select letter and commissioning documents took almost a month to generate after I found out.

  5. Navy Orders?

    MURunner86 replied to MURunner86's topic in Government, Military

    I was calling twice a week until he got irritated with me, then I stopped. I haven't talked to him since Monday. Thankfully, my employer does know, however I think you must have orders in order to...

  6. Navy Orders?

    MURunner86 replied to MURunner86's topic in Government, Military

    I am prior service so I understand, I just don't believe anything until I see it in writing. I want to believe what they're saying, I'm just being cautiously optimistic. Tomorrow will be 3 weeks til...

  7. Navy Orders?

    MURunner86 replied to MURunner86's topic in Government, Military

    I still don't have mine. I was told 11 Sep ods and San Diego by detailer but don't have official orders. Wonder why you have yours and I don't?

  8. Navy Orders?

    MURunner86 replied to MURunner86's topic in Government, Military

    The last I heard was that my orders have been written but have not been financially approved. I'm sure this is because of the end of fiscal year

  9. Navy Orders?

    MURunner86 replied to MURunner86's topic in Government, Military

    I wouldn't care so much but its only a few weeks from the ODS date he gave me. I don't want to just up and resign without orders in

  10. Navy - Homesteading or single base assignment?

    MURunner86 replied to deftonez188's topic in Government, Military

    From what I've heard deftonez, about a year before your 3 year mark your detailer is supposed to get ahold of you and have you fill out another top 3 dream sheet. Then, when the time comes you get...

  11. Wondering if I should go into the military?

    MURunner86 replied to Hannah19's topic in Government, Military

    Hannah, your questions are very broad, but I will do my best to reply. I was enlisted in the Army before, so I can really only generalize about the other branches of service. Generally, you will move...

  12. Navy Nursing Questions

    MURunner86 replied to gary40rn's topic in Government, Military

    From what I understand, the Mercy and Comfort are manned with Critical Care nurses. I wouldn't think there'd be a huge need for psych nurses to triage patients on a

  13. Commissioning Documents/Orders

    MURunner86 posted a topic in Government, Military

    Hey everyone! So I got the exciting news on 1 August that I'd been final selected into the Navy Nurse Corps. My question: how long does it take to get the commissioning documents so I can swear in and...

  14. ER and strange phenomena

    MURunner86 replied to EmergencyNrse's topic in Emergency

    I have found that in my SICU, February seems to be the month for spontaneous head bleeds. I think they put out the numbers and saw we did more coilings, cranies and ventriculostomies that month than...

  15. Commissioning Documents/Orders

    MURunner86 replied to MURunner86's topic in Government, Military

    I planned on doing the military leave thing, I just want things to be confirmed, I hate all the

  16. Navy Nursing Questions

    MURunner86 replied to gary40rn's topic in Government, Military

    I don't know if you can avoid flying in any branch of the service...whether it be sending you to training, etc. Especially if you're going between CONUS and OCONUS, you have to

    No, they

  18. Permanent Resident for NTP/AF?

    MURunner86 replied to meluvsquki's topic in Government, Military

    I think the issue with this arises with your security clearance which is only needed if you advance to NCO or Officer ranks. Where are you

  19. So much negativity towards Associate Degree Nurses

    MURunner86 replied to LPN_2005/RN_10's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I can speak from my own experience. We have a BSN and an ADN program here in the same town. I know they didn't get as much clinical exp as I did nor did they get a Critical Care Practicum like I did....

  20. Does anyone know...

    MURunner86 replied to bsnwnab's topic in General Nursing

    I would think they'd need to seek approval from NLNAC too if they're already

  21. Using technical jargon with patients-EYE OPENER

    MURunner86 replied to JeneraterRN's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, where I work, it ranges from those described in the making water comment to the ones who read WebMD profusely and think they're doctors. Sometimes you just have to feel them out to see what their...

  22. New Grad working 7p to 7a

    MURunner86 replied to JM RN's topic in General Nursing

    Well, when I did nightshift, I would come home from work around 0730, and be showered and in the sack by 0800. I usually slept til 1400 or so (I don't sleep well during the day). I'd eat breakfast...

  23. What is your biggest nursing pet peeve?

    MURunner86 replied to ferfer's topic in General Nursing

    Probably my biggest pet peeve is when the nurse I am following clearly hasn't done mouth care (VAP bundle) in a LONG, LONG

  24. So much negativity towards Associate Degree Nurses

    MURunner86 replied to LPN_2005/RN_10's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I don't know if you guys all live in big cities or what, but I know that the area I live in (West Virginia), we don't get paid any more for having our BSN vs. ADN. I went the BSN route because I...

  25. What a difference a year makes

    MURunner86 replied to Do-over's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I just passed my one year in June...and looking back on it, I have grown a lot as well. At my first job out of nursing school, I got laid off after a little over a month due to financial issues within...
