  1. Navy Direct Accession Competitiveness

    Dranger replied to mlockwood358's topic in Government, Military

    It's because the Army does all of the fun

  2. Navy Nursing while engaged/married

    Dranger replied to mlockwood358's topic in Government, Military

    Are you getting student loan payback? You can earn he GI bill after a certain time which is to only be used by YOU unless you transfer it to your husband but that often requires additional years of...

  3. Army (ICU) course. Getting questionable advice.

    Dranger replied to nursespouse's topic in Government, Military

    Hmm, well I am assuming she is being stationed at Fort Sam right? That being said there is a chance she will have a shot at the course again seeing as it is on-site or at least it was last time I...

  4. Navy Nursing/Corman

    Dranger replied to Robins19's topic in Government, Military

    1. Corpsman not corman 2. Officers commission they don't enlist and it's not as easy as just signing up it is very competitive 3. You should get married before you commission. Enlisted together with...

  5. Navy Nursing while engaged/married

    Dranger replied to mlockwood358's topic in Government, Military

    Also keep in mind if your soon to be husband travels with you it can and probably will effect his career options especially when you change duty station every 2-3 years. No he doesn't HAVE to move...

  6. Navy Nursing while engaged/married

    Dranger replied to mlockwood358's topic in Government, Military

    I wouldn't count on

  7. Working on 2 different bases at the same time

    Dranger replied to litebrightgirl's topic in Government, Military

    I think it depends I knew a GS nurse who moonlighted as a contract nurse at a another base and it didn't seem to be an

  8. Navy Nursing while engaged/married

    Dranger replied to mlockwood358's topic in Government, Military

    If you are a Navy nurse and are not married, your BF will not be entitled to base access, increased housing allowance, health insurance and not be allowed to move with you if you happen to PCS outside...

  9. 101 Things I Wish I'd Known Before BOLC

    Dranger replied to Lunah's topic in Government, Military

    He might have the opportunity to take emergency leave while you are in labor. I saw this happen at BOLC a couple times. But since it is just TDY and not a PCS you will not be allowed to come unless he...

  10. Should I even bother applying to the Navy NCP?

    Dranger replied to Melonie26's topic in Government, Military

    To each their own but I disagree about ROTC not being worth while for reserves. It looks very good on job applications especially if you were in leadership or did well. The time commitment with...

  11. Should I even bother applying to the Navy NCP?

    Dranger replied to Melonie26's topic in Government, Military

    I know this, but it was a very small number as per my nurse counselor (~20-25) and many cadets chose reserves like me which bumped the number up. If you did halfway decent in nursing school and didn't...

  12. Should I even bother applying to the Navy NCP?

    Dranger replied to Melonie26's topic in Government, Military

    To each their own, I was a ROTC recruiter and that is how my Major and I evaluated packets. Nursing is nursing in my opinion which is why I really don't understand the strong preference for one...

  13. So many nursing majors in my class!

    Dranger replied to mmcc26's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You are right, I won't post anymore I have better things to do (Like being a nurse, what a shocker right?....) than argue with naivety. I just like to correct irony when I see it for you and whoever...

  14. So many nursing majors in my class!

    Dranger replied to mmcc26's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Lady? I am a man, thanks for assuming...mkay. You can live in your make believe world all you want but one day cold hard reality will slap you in the face. Your thread and post are riddled with...

  15. Indecision on academic/career path

    Dranger replied to oneloveoneheart's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Going off a Myra Briggs test and a vague pull towards Biology to choose a career plan...seems legit. Also if you have been taking just sociology and English classes for the last 4 years, the sciences...

  16. So many nursing majors in my class!

    Dranger replied to mmcc26's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am nurse and it's just a job, no calling involved at ALL. I never understood why people in my nursing class thought about patients in their off hours. IT'S A FREAKING job where you are supposed to...

  17. Working on 2 different bases at the same time

    Dranger replied to litebrightgirl's topic in Government, Military

    Uh yeah why not? As long as both jobs don't cause a confliction

  18. Should I even bother applying to the Navy NCP?

    Dranger replied to Melonie26's topic in Government, Military

    I actually wouldn't even mention ROTC unless you finished the program. I don't know what made you unable to accept a scholarship or at least just contract but I would look at it as a red flag if I saw...

  19. My interview at a Hospital with the lions

    Dranger replied to garn12's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Screw that! If I was being put into a situation like that I would have gotten up and left. IF the interview is like that, think what working there is

  20. So many nursing majors in my class!

    Dranger replied to mmcc26's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I did pre-med as well as nursing and the pre-med curriculum was 100x times harder than any nursing class I ever took. No

  21. Pre-nursing student considering AFROTC or ROTC

    Dranger replied to Geeitsgina's topic in Government, Military

    Look, ROTC is a valid option but you have to have the stats to back it up especially with the AF. Pre-nursing contemplating CRNA? Not to be a prick but that is about as common as a pre-med wanting to...

  22. 80% BSN staffing by 2020

    Dranger replied to jadelpn's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I know what you said. If I had the choice, 3 year med school for sure. I love the force into DNP by the governing bodies with little to no gain in substance. What was the point of the DNP? Was it a up...

  23. 80% BSN staffing by 2020

    Dranger replied to jadelpn's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Every DNP program I've seen said 800-1000 hours. You have a link? Med students and then residents have much much more than that. I'm an RN but I'm not brainwashed by the nursing organization to think...

  24. Can't Get a job? Considering Military? Enlisted/Officer

    Dranger replied to Code09's topic in Government, Military

    So you are saying in an entire 4 year AD enlistment you probably won't or can't be deployed as a Navy nurse? Yeah sorry I don't buy it, I think your recruiter was forgetting to tell the truth. Also my...

  25. 80% BSN staffing by 2020

    Dranger replied to jadelpn's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Yeah EBP based on studies done by nursing accrediting bodies and or
