    Walter Reed in OCT

    carolinapooh replied to SoldierNurse22's topic in Government, Military

    Are you already on active duty as an enlisted member? I'm not Army, but I am Air Force and I know travel regs and all the moving regs are written by the DOD and are not service specific. I don't know...

    Interview wear - summer version?

    carolinapooh replied to lei7's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    This isn't directed at you. The skirt thing is just a huge pet peeve of mine, because I hate the things and I'm not comfortable in them. And believe me, I'm a confirmed clothes horse with a huge...

    Reapplying after Resignation

    carolinapooh replied to RNAchot83's topic in General Nursing

    Your employers and your previous addresses show up on your credit report. Actually there's a lot of stuff you can get off of someone's credit

    RN Personal Trainer

    carolinapooh replied to smkiya's topic in General Nursing

    Personally - and not just because of my medical background - I'd be more likely to listen to you than some supposed "expert" who looks good in shorts and a tank top. I also think you'd be able to talk...

    November 2010 Reserve OBLC

    carolinapooh replied to nmosterhaus's topic in Government, Military

    While I know that the Reserves and the Active sides of the house operate like two separate entities within the same organization, that DOES seem like a bit of overkill. Hang in

    Navy Nurse and Tattoos???

    carolinapooh replied to fortej1's topic in Government, Military

    That cracks me up - all the old hippies sitting around with their tats and stories of the freewheeling '60s....what WILL the dementia patients be like then? :) I'm hoping to meet Lunah when she gets...

    US Air Force COT 10-06

    carolinapooh replied to luvbug080688's topic in Government, Military

    No. Everyone was fine. You're not going to fall, and if you really can't complete it, you don't have to - but once you're up at the top, you have to keep going. You take your time and they talk you...

    3.25 GPA required for new grad position???!!

    carolinapooh replied to wildsmile24's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I bet that's the same one I read - and the guy who got the job had something like an MBA and had worked as a midlevel executive for some big well-known company before being laid off only about eight...

    Simulation lab on children

    carolinapooh replied to believeallispossible's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Sims suck because they're even less predictable than what a real patient will do to you. Especially if the instructor behind the computer is a bit

    No worries. You are completely correct. Thank you for not being one of the folks who takes offense at every little thing. :redpinkhe What I really liked about your post is that you at least pointed...

    Where does the public get the idea that nurses make a ton of money?

    carolinapooh replied to edogs334's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Retirement's a big deal for anyone, regardless of how old we are or aren't. Kudos (seriously!) to you for being the age you are and actually considering this sort of stuff now, even if you're only...

    Where does the public get the idea that nurses make a ton of money?

    carolinapooh replied to edogs334's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm cracking up here because you really DID do the math. I'm sort of loving this tongue-in-cheek

    screaming doctors....how can we handle them?

    carolinapooh replied to KSU-SN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    While I've been known to paint the surrounding air blue in my day, I wouldn't say that to an idiot doctor - because that would make me almost as bad as him/her. My response (and I've used it, once):...

    Interview wear - summer version?

    carolinapooh replied to lei7's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Navy Nurse and Tattoos???

    carolinapooh replied to fortej1's topic in Government, Military

    I don't know you personally, Lunah, but your many tattoos seem to fit your personality. :) I think tats are cool; I'm just too chicken to get one. I have seen some absolutely gorgeous works of art on...

    Navy Reserve Board-Still waiting.......

    carolinapooh replied to letiboo's topic in Government, Military

    COT graduation and Family

    carolinapooh replied to dolphins00's topic in Government, Military

    The spouse's orientation and tour is the day before graduation (Thursday) which is also the same day as the Dining Out (if you have a dining out, you can have guests; typically the summer surge...

    US Air Force COT 10-06

    carolinapooh replied to luvbug080688's topic in Government, Military

    That's the high ropes course you do a couple of days before you graduate. The "rock wall" is actually the tower where the infamous (and so-called) Toothpick is at the top - forty feet in the air and...

    COT 10-04 nurse to 10-05

    carolinapooh replied to midinphx's topic in Government, Military

    It IS very much like the parade grounds here, but it's a lot smaller (I didn't really realize that until I got down here at Lackland and stood on the bomb run for the first time in 14 years - the...

    Quick Tip for ANYONE considering nursing in the military

    carolinapooh replied to carolinapooh's topic in Government, Military

    Getting RN while working FT

    carolinapooh replied to SarahOrtiz's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I think NC Central in Durham had a weekend program at one time - but do A LOT of research on that particular school before you consider it. (I'm from
