  1. Army Branch Transfer to ANC

    SycamoreGuy posted a topic in Government, Military

    Does anyone have any information on doing a branch transfer into the ANC from another officer branch? Details: I am currently a Transportation 1LT in the Army Reserve, I am also in an accelerated BSN...

  2. HELP! PMHNP vs. LCSW

    SycamoreGuy posted a topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I am currently working on prerequisite classes for an accelerated BSN. My initial goal was to eventually work toward FNP or PMHNP and get a skill set that would make me employable outside of the...

  3. The New Grad Job Search

    SycamoreGuy replied to GymniSky's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Even those areas are difficult for new grad ADNs. The market is just too saturated with traditional BSNs and second degree

  4. Future of the CNS

    SycamoreGuy posted a topic in Clinical Nurse Specialists, CNS

    What is the future of the CNS? Will the CNS role continue to be viable or will it be cannibalized by the CNL and NP roles? I am really interested in the CNS role but my gut tells me I would be far...

  5. PVT?

    SycamoreGuy replied to exit96's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Does you're state have online license verification? Some do and they will post your status as soon as 24hrs after your exam. That's better than any unofficial results. Usually free

  6. I am a nurse, darn it!

    SycamoreGuy replied to ceebeejay's topic in Private Duty

    I've taken both AHA BLS and ARC CPR/AED for the professional rescuer. I couldn't tell a difference. I've worked places where they would accept

  7. Everest Colleges

    SycamoreGuy replied to crossfitnurse's topic in General Students

    Perfect example of why not to go to a for-profit

  8. How hard really is intermediate Care

    SycamoreGuy replied to RN_Student14's topic in Cardiac

    I worked in a PCU for a little while, I thought it was a lot less hectic than med-surg. The patients weren't usually that much sicker than the more acute med-surg patients and we only had 3-4 of them...

  9. Nurses are Not Doctors

    SycamoreGuy replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    Along with not being entirely

  10. surgical tech vs. rn

    SycamoreGuy replied to kristyleist's topic in Nursing Career

    The math isn't really that hard. It's all basic arithmetic, you just have to pay real close attention. There is no room for error. Although in the real world the math is pretty much done for you...

  11. Medtech College Indianapolis, IN

    SycamoreGuy replied to maeuni08's topic in School, College Programs

    DO NOT attend medtech! They have abysmal NCLEX pass rates and a horrible reputation. Their RN program is barely holding on to BON accreditation and I would not be surprised if they lose

  12. Nurses are Not Doctors

    SycamoreGuy replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    More stupidity... Your response adds nothing substantive to the conversation. A representatives perception of a provider has no correlation to their ability to provide care. As far as I am concerned...

  13. Nurses are Not Doctors

    SycamoreGuy replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    27 pages in and what have we learned? Who has changed their mind? You can spout off credentials and anecdotes all you want but as far as I know you are all a bunch of janitors at walmart. I can read...

  14. Do you think MacBook 11inch would be good for Nursing School? Or is it too small?

    SycamoreGuy replied to NRRN,IWP's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This can be tricky with mac's sometimes but generally if you do a google search there is a work around. I have never had to use a pc because of compatibility issues. I have had to do some googling and...

  15. Do you think MacBook 11inch would be good for Nursing School? Or is it too small?

    SycamoreGuy replied to NRRN,IWP's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Have you been in a classroom in the past 10 years? EVERYONE uses a laptop or iPad / tablet for taking notes.

  16. Do you think MacBook 11inch would be good for Nursing School? Or is it too small?

    SycamoreGuy replied to NRRN,IWP's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I can't say enough about the quality and performance of my 2007 aluminum MacBook (before they were all called pro's) after 7 years the only thing that is starting to show any wear is the battery but...

  17. If we had a conservative nurses forum

    SycamoreGuy replied to FLmomof5's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I don't like to label myself with one ideology or another but my feeling generally align with conservatism and occasionally

  18. Acetylcysteine

    SycamoreGuy replied to MedTrans68's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Nope, haven't heard of that. Perhaps it was a protocol at a hospital your nursing faculty worked

  19. Obamacare? what are your thoughts

    SycamoreGuy replied to nija315's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Right but I thought this thread was about the ACA and not part D. It seems like you are just trying to stick your finger in the posters

  20. Obamacare? what are your thoughts

    SycamoreGuy replied to nija315's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    What difference does that

  21. DNP vs MD

    SycamoreGuy replied to healthstar's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Because there is no standard requirement for DNP clinical hours. Some schools may have thousands of clinical hours in their BSN to DNP programs, other post-masters DNP programs may have no additional...

  22. Obamacare? what are your thoughts

    SycamoreGuy replied to nija315's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I should have said a small percentage of those newly insured under the ACA didn't already have coverage. What are the current uninsured

  23. Obamacare? what are your thoughts

    SycamoreGuy replied to nija315's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Most people did have insurance before, only a small percentage didn't. So most people had to buy a new and more expensive plan because most of them were on plans that were discontinued as a result of...

  24. Navy Reserve Nursing quota FY14?

    SycamoreGuy replied to bartmc1's topic in Government, Military

    Last time I talked to an army reserve recruiter (almost a year ago) they wouldn't even consider you without a year of med-surg

  25. Obamacare? what are your thoughts

    SycamoreGuy replied to nija315's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    As another tricare recipient I have to disagree with your assessment of socialized medicine. Sure if you live in a large military area you can find an in network provider. Try finding one in an area...
