    New age requirements for military??

    Faeriewand replied to CLCD's topic in Government, Military

    How long do you expect these age waivers to last? I'm thinking that the Army is giving them out now but when they don't need nurses so badly they will withdraw that offer. And what about retirement?...

    Kaiser

    Faeriewand replied to RN112's topic in General Nursing

    Best and worst?

    Faeriewand replied to KC Nurse 2 Be's topic in Ob/Gyn

    If you can't shadow a nurse and want to get your feet wet you might try becoming a CNA or some other type of work in the healthcare field. That way you could make money while seeing what a nurse...

    Faeriewand replied to capribry's topic in General Nursing

    Now I'm not so sure

    Faeriewand replied to fifi2323's topic in General Nursing

    How about a different perspective? Go to college and take the pre-requisites for the RN and just go for that. Why not? The RN makes so much more money and affords you more opportunites. Get all...
