    Deploying as a military RN

    Hey - I might actually meet you - that's my band

    Application to the AF

    carolinapooh replied to Jennifer22's topic in Government, Military

    Well, start by thinking why do you want to be in the AF? What do YOU have that THEY want? If you were to get in (because this is how they're looking for those questions to be answered), what would you...

    So Frustrated! "think like a nurse"

    carolinapooh replied to glovedgoddess's topic in General Students

    Don't let buzz words and jargon throw you. Critical thinking is something you do EVERY DAY (at least I hope it is) - it's at the analytical level of Bloom's Taxonomy (google that if you're not...

    Thoughts on Accelerated BSN programs?

    carolinapooh replied to damaranicole's topic in General Students

    My dad went to school and worked full time. My sister was not quite thirteen and I was not quite three when he started. (Since I'm now just shy of 37, that should tell you how long ago that was!)...

    No, not immature. Maybe misguided somewhat, maybe a bit ingenuous, but I wouldn't say

    Need some help/recommendations following removal from nursing school

    carolinapooh replied to mlb69's topic in General Nursing

    I hate to say it, but at some point, it does come down to the almighty dollar: my husband and I forked out bucks for my nursing education and you can bet every last buck I expected to be...

    My age is showing, or 'No texting, please"

    carolinapooh replied to mamamerlee's topic in General Nursing

    I can't get used to it being used as the written equivalent of "talking" - which to me is what a "discussion board" is. True texting is one thing, and I can do it with the best of them, but a message...

    All advice will be appreciated

    carolinapooh replied to proudpops's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know you, but I'm both proud of you and admire you. Your son will also have a lot to be proud of when he's old enough to understand. What an amazing example you're setting for him. Either...

    My age is showing, or 'No texting, please"

    carolinapooh replied to mamamerlee's topic in General Nursing

    There's "informal" and then there's just "improper". I actually have a whole laundry list of adjectives which I shall keep to myself, since I don't like the heat and it's already getting hot here in...

    My age is showing, or 'No texting, please"

    carolinapooh replied to mamamerlee's topic in General Nursing

    I wish I could believe you were kidding. I don't mind a few "texty" abbreviations (I'm famous for "omg" myself) but an ENTIRE post is ridiculous. And lazy. And nothing but childish, really. I feel...

    Army PFT ???

    carolinapooh replied to hopeful_army_NP's topic in Government, Military

    Stopping I wouldn't recommend. Keep moving - you draw less attention to yourself. Even in seemingly "prissy" COT (ha ha ha) they'd go postal on anyone who stopped who wasn't injured. Even if you're...

    Deploying as a military RN

    carolinapooh replied to beachchic2010's topic in Government, Military

    I wouldn't say "it's the child or the military". THAT'S a little harsh. You're required to show proof of "other arrangements" for your children if you're a single parent in the military. One RN I...

    Looking for prior service with experiences in becoming an AF RN

    carolinapooh replied to Periop-Doug's topic in Government, Military

    Just checking in on this thread - I haven't forgotten you, I'm still looking for that reg. I was going to look on the Pubs site at work the other day but I didn't get a

    Army PFT ???

    carolinapooh replied to hopeful_army_NP's topic in Government, Military

    I can almost guarantee you - you won't be the only one needing a break during PT for the first few weeks. I know the Army's certainly different from the Air Force, but there will be others there in...

    Deploying as a military RN

    carolinapooh replied to beachchic2010's topic in Government, Military

    This is also going to come across as mean - but for the life of me I can't understand why people even ASK "will I be deployed", especially since we're in the middle of two major combat operations...

    Deploying as a military RN

    carolinapooh replied to beachchic2010's topic in Government, Military

    This will sound horribly blunt, but you'd go in (more than likely) ICU qualified, and we're in the middle of a war on two fronts. You'll definitely be

    Is Nursing Right for Me? (Holistic-Minded)

    carolinapooh replied to jkmk's topic in General Students

    How about testing the waters for L & D and becoming a certified doula? THAT sounds right up your alley in a lot of ways. It worries me when I become an NP that I'll have to follow the CDC...

    Direct Admissions without doctor orders

    carolinapooh replied to General E. Speaking, RN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I think the OP means there's an order to admit, but not orders for treatment. So the patient's cleared to be there, but there's nothing telling you what to do with

    Do you regret going into nursing?

    carolinapooh replied to Crystal112's topic in General Nursing

    My mother was a teacher after my father retired from the Navy. I saw her work twelve and fifteen hour days (tests to grade, projects to complete, conferences, PTA meetings), go in on weekends, have to...
