  1. Conflict with a coworker

    Can you imagine how the ENGLISH feel strolling around East London having to hear every other language besides their native tongue. Better yet you can apply that to every corner of Britain. But we...
  2. You can be contracted into Army ROTC which means while you don't get a scholarship you will commission. Whether that is AD or reserves depends on the needs of the Army and how well you do at school...
  3. I will be blunt, the military is EXTREMELY hard to crack into now, gone are the days of yesteryear (early 2000s) when if you had a BSN you were given a red carpet ride into bonuses and loan repayment....
  4. Army Nurse Corps FY2014

    I was told 5 national slots for reserves to AD....Didn't even bother with a
  5. medical marijuana past and wanting to be a nurse

    Dude, I highly doubt they can find the IP address of the OP in this thread and then put a anonymous username to a face. With background checks all they do is check your criminal record and call your...
  6. Decision is becoming clear...

    Emergency? Go PA and don't look back Good
  7. Unrealistic nursing students

    Nothing new. Loads of meds students go into med school just to get into research without having to touch patients or land a sweet surgery job. Everyone guns for surgery. The CRNA/Manager/NP issue is...
  8. I have seen some RN to BSN programs online where you basically buy the degree, the curriculum is that
  9. Eh I am not even mad, those APA BSN papers are so BS and full of fluff and theory I might have paid someone to do it as well. Nothing in my BSN program helped me in my practice and I went to a top...
  10. No family, but I did it for the money and flexibility. It's nice knowing I can move where ever I want and have a
  11. Not worth it, my employer put me in all of those classes when I got hired into critical care. Waste of money IMO and it won't put you ahead of peers. ACLS PALS EKG 12 lead and more... All paid for...
  12. Exactly like me, I did L&D in school obviously because I had to but it was like pulling teeth everyday I had to go to M/B or do a baby assessment. So glad those days are over. On the flipside I...
  13. Ok so the point is you take a broader nursing job to expose you to a variety of skills. I don't care what drugs you give in OB, you won't see variety of patients as you do in med surg or the ICU. IF...
  14. That won't be enough if they are expected to function on their
  15. Does anyone enjoy Nursing School?

    What I liked: Clinicals Science or actual health based classes Graduating and getting paid well right off the bat What I hated: The large amount of fluff classes (theory etc) My cohort of students ( I...
  16. Army nurse recruiting

    Yeah that's what I meant but I have seen it slide it to within 3-4 years but who knows
  17. That is a terrible idea for the hospital. When I started in the PCU, all of the PCU nurses did the same residency minus vent class as the ICU nurses with in class and hands on training for months. Bad...
  18. Army Nurse Corps FY2014

    Find a unit and do the reserve BOLC course online 8 year was my contract Reserves will put you in a reserve hospital where most of your drills will be admin stuff no clinicals really (Unit depending)....
  19. Army nurse recruiting

    Well once you are in you can apply for the course after 1-2 years in the Army. The trouble is getting in. As someone else said there were 10 slots for DC about about 175 for ROTC. Thats for new grads...
  20. Nursing school effect on life?

    Look as I said before if you are the traditional college student 18-25 and with no family or marriage you have time, period. I did ROTC, lacrosse and partied in college and my grades didn't suffer....
  21. Nursing school effect on life?

    If you are single ( I consider a bf or gf still legally single) and have no kids you should have plenty of free time,
  22. L&D is a niche so of course I won't be comfortable but I am an ICU nurse so I pretty much can float anywhere besides OB (I could probably handle M/B) or the OR. I'm sorry it just doesn't work that...
  23. So you be perfectly comfortable floating to the ED, PCU or tele units on any given day? And comfortable in all of your skills. Say what you want but this girl was literally shaking during skills...
  24. Trauma is pretty broad and most ICUs or ERs for that matter don't handle trauma. I think trauma nurse is a misnomer. ICU and ED handle sick patients but trauma even in the most inner city hospitals...
  25. Being a nurse who likes working alone?

    You are right, it's dependents in the
