    XcrMat posted a topic in General Nursing

    Next summer I'll be moving to Honolulu with my wife who is an active duty army nurse. We are currently in Texas and I've been an RN with a BSN, working in med-surg for about 2 months now. By the time...

  9. Why are nurses not paid more?

    XcrMat posted a topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I just finished 3 consecutive 12-hour shifts and was doing a bit of reflecting this morning. I work on a med-surg floor in San Antonio, TX. The hospital is in an economically deprived area of town,...

  10. Sorry state of Nursing ...

    XcrMat replied to Howardhughes's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a new grad BSN in Texas and was offered around 26/hr by a couple LTC facilities. I would expect a larger hospital to be at least 30. I also have peers who I graduated with making 35-40/hr in...

  12. Is nursing for me???

    XcrMat posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So I've been on the fence about a number of things. I've recently graduated from a BSN program and I'm wondering if nursing is really what I want to do long term. My issues with nursing sort of center...

  13. Is nursing for me???

    XcrMat replied to XcrMat's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You've clearly either not read all my posts or misunderstood

  14. Is nursing for me???

    XcrMat replied to XcrMat's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanks for your reply. You're probably the first to actually answer my original question. Just a couple questions: What type of law did you practice? How was the transition from nursing into law...

  15. Chance of getting into the military with a bsn from an online school like Excelsior?

    XcrMat replied to BOSS man's topic in Government, Military

    As long as your BSN is from a ccne or nlnac accredited school. Make sure your GPA is high though. Army Nursing is becoming a great deal more selective and competitive. We had a Nurse Corps recruiter...

  16. Opportunities for Army Spouse/ Veteran

    XcrMat posted a topic in Government, Military

    XcrMat replied to XcrMat's topic in Government, Military

    Thanks again

  18. Is nursing for me???

    XcrMat replied to XcrMat's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm wasn't trying to make this discussion solely about military nursing, I was just interested in the perspective of SoldierNurse22. I was enlisted in the military as an LPN for 4 years. I worked in...

  19. Is nursing for me???

    XcrMat replied to XcrMat's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was not insinuating any lack of pride on your part, but pointing out the growing prestige of being a ANC nurse. As for less than constructive feedback, that was not directed towards you, but more of...

  20. Is nursing for me???

    XcrMat replied to XcrMat's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Lack of knowledge? FYI, the military has always been at the forefront of advancements in nursing and research throughout healthcare. But I'm glad you brought that up. You are correct that Army Nurse...

  21. New Grad!

    XcrMat replied to xochilg's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I'm pretty much in the same boat. It helps if you're willing to travel... Hopefully things turn around with the economy in the next several years and new nurses will see improved job prospects

  22. Is nursing for me???

    XcrMat replied to XcrMat's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Wow, ok... Although it's flattering to see the regard you have for what I say, perhaps I'm not expressing myself clearly. I have served as a military nurse in multiple continents, so yes I have a...

  23. ADN's being pushed out

    XcrMat replied to MSN Student's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    It's for the greater good of nursing as a profession. Nurses are looks down upon. People think nurses are nothing but physicians assistants or handmaidens. That we are subpar practitioners. As much as...

  24. Have we lost the "art" of nursing?

    XcrMat replied to Barbara Hunter's topic in General Nursing

    Nurses are no longer trained, they're educated. I think with advancing education and higher involvement in research, nurses are and should be more of decision makers and thinkers. In other words, more...

    XcrMat replied to XcrMat's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanks for the input. I hope my comment wasn't offensive. I was also an LPN in the military for a couple years, so I've had to climb the ladder as
