  10. OK take a deep breath...here's a reality check. You won't be getting in next year and probably not the year after. The enlisted to officer BSN program has been cut in many branches or highly reduced...
  11. MacBook vs. Chromebook

    Chromebook times a MILLION. Mine was 200 bucks and has everything you need for school, google docs, word processing, powerpoint capabilities and the internet. Put it this way...300 bucks vs 1500-2000...

  16. 2014 PLU applicants?

    I have friends who went to PLU and many in WA ST regard it better than UW for BSN....They have the most clinical hours in WA from what I hear plus the Tacoma area has awesome connections for grads....
  17. I don't have a passion for it and I constantly get high reports from patients after they do their discharge surveys. Just because you don't have a bleeding heart love for a job doesn't mean you can't...

    I joined to serve as well but if it's in the nation's best interest budget wise that my service is no longer needed I am OK with that. Cuts in a way are a good thing, "trimming the fat" if you will....
  22. Force Management - nursing impact

    Why would you be worried? Worst thing that happens is you get let go. You are a nurse with experience and can easily find a job. Think about all those infantry and combat guys who get cut....now that...
  23. You are looking at more of a PA or RNFA role both require extensive
  24. Military contract and awards

    Awards should be none of your concern really, this isn't the Boy Scouts. That being said there are some awards you will eventually get for just doing your job like the AAM or even ARCOM sadly. I got...
