The Army needs L&D nurses but not OB. Med-Surg nurses can work antepartum/mbu/OB surgical floors in the Army. The AOC 66G is the identifier for the specialty of OB specifically LnD.

Don't sweat it! Probably half of your nursing class will be on it:) anyways, if it such a bad drug why give it to children? The military doesn't frown on it and your nursing school is not going to drug test you.
Buy a NCLEX question and answer guide and study from it. The rationales explain each answer out. I used it for all my classes, NCLEX, and certification exam.
Who does it benefit more? If it is for the patient, then your not wrong. However, there is more than one way to do things as long as it falls within guidelines.
Yeah sorry...the ANC and Amedd is different from the regular Army...just. Remember to have a course date not a general guarantee..when I tell you that the course has a waiting list there is a waiting list...if she isn't already in the system, she is ...

I hope it goes the way you want it to go. They are gonna post date her commission? I actually swore in May 15 but it was postdated till 3 days before my OBC date in July, my pay didn't start till then.
That makes sense and she isn't a new grad. Do you have a course date on paper because I know that those slots are filled. When is she suppose to go to OBC?
There has to be a date, no date then the ANC slots you, new nurses around here don't get to go to a course until they make it to 1st LT which is 18 months, 24-36 is said bc that's usually when your unit will let you go and or pcs. It's based on OML. ...
Yes I understand that requires 18 months but the slots are limited, usually like 15 slots available per course. Everyone can get a course guarantee, I commissioned without a course guarantee but I can apply and go to any course I want
the ANC promises the course but the time frame is usually 24-36 months. I know new LTs that have course guarantee but that time line goes for everyone. I don't know how she is already slotted for the course bc if she hasnt sworn in or is recognized a...
I know that if you are a new grad RN in the Army, all you will do is patient care because you have to learn how to be a bedside nurse and critically think. OBC is about 9 weeks long and promotion to CPT is 42 months and it is competitive, so basical...
The Army will pay for the certification but you have to go through the dept that you are assigned. It's much harder to get reimbursed after the fact. The 8A course is full and if your a new graduate, there is No way they are going to send anyone fro...
