  1. USPHS

    NursePamela replied to jennysong81's topic in Government, Military

    RN318 - Thanks for clarifying, i did not

  2. USPHS

    NursePamela replied to jennysong81's topic in Government, Military

    Regarding RN 318,,, "Medical home providers" Does PHS do home care? Or did I read that wrong? Just

  3. Military/Reserves Age Waiver for BSN's MSW's

    NursePamela replied to panman's topic in Government, Military

    Just a quick input on the age thing - "sometimes" people are allowed in after the age cut off but it is under a stipulation that they will not receive retirement benefits since they came in after the...

  4. Military psych

    NursePamela replied to deftonez188's topic in Government, Military

    In terms of new nurses going directly into psych, I think I am more traditional in that area where I feel one should have at least a year of med-surg to help build a strong foundation. I have worked...

  5. Anyone know anything about Active duty Air Force Nursing in Hawaii (Oahu)

    NursePamela posted a topic in Government, Military

    Anyone know anything about Active Duty Air Force Nursing on Oahu? I know the Air Force just went joint with the Navy. I wanted to know what kind of specialties are available for Air Force? Tripler...

  6. Anyone know anything about Active duty Air Force Nursing in Hawaii (Oahu)

    NursePamela replied to NursePamela's topic in Government, Military

    Thanks for the replies. I know the Air Force did not become the Navy but Hickam is a joint base now called Pearl Harbor. I was hoping to hear Tripler employed Air Force as well as Army. Little...

  7. Anyone know anything about Active duty Air Force Nursing in Hawaii (Oahu)

    NursePamela replied to NursePamela's topic in Government, Military

    This may sound like a stupid question but if a hospital is not joint does that mean it only has it's own people? In other words if Tripler is Army does that mean only Army work

  8. Should I go ADAF if my husband is also active duty

    NursePamela replied to tg982's topic in Government, Military

    If you don't have kids, I would try it at least one tour. The possibility of back to back deployments is a reality. You are gone 6 months only to come home and have your spouse leave for 6 months....

  9. Heated debate between civilian ED RN and FMF Hospital Corpsman.

    NursePamela replied to testing109's topic in Government, Military

    I think the nurse shows extreme disrespect and inexperience. It is a shame that more credit is not given to any Navy corpsman of any kind in the civilian sector. The medical environment, especially...

  10. DOD Nurses...can they get into post housing?

    NursePamela replied to bluemorningglory's topic in Government, Military

    A lot of base housing has gone privatized - which means a civilian company owns/leases/ and operates it. On some bases they are opening the housing up to all civilians if there is an excess of...

  11. Future Air Force nurse here with lots of questions!

    NursePamela replied to akellyrn's topic in Government, Military

    Little Greek, Curious what would be the busiest

  12. Qualified air force nurse?

    NursePamela replied to Mommy of 2's topic in Government, Military

    If you only have 6 months experience NTP is not a bad thing, especially if you have not worked since

  13. Civilian Nurse on base in Germany?

    NursePamela replied to MrsCannibal's topic in Government, Military

    Sweetie 614, spouses get preference so if you are bf/gf you will be at the bottom of the food chain, sorry. As far as a new grad, don't forget you can get your RN-BSN on line. I was an RN / spouse...

  14. As good as, Better or Worse than you thought it would be...

    NursePamela replied to Krazy4pedsRN's topic in General Nursing

    The great thing about nursing is that it is all of the above and more. Some times it is so great and fulfilling it will give you the chills. Unfortunately you will also have days when you want to...

  15. I'm done!...Vent!

    NursePamela replied to BabyLady's topic in General Nursing

    When I was a new nurse I had a hard time loving nursing, I thought "if this was it - forget about it". I decided to give it another shot and I went and did travel nursing and found out that there was...

  16. When you go for USPHS - when do you get your physical?

    NursePamela posted a topic in Government, Military

    I know when going for active duty you go to the MEPS/physical pretty early on in your application process. If you go USPHS, when and where do you go for your physical?

  17. Nursing jobs in Hampton, VA

    NursePamela replied to oreo84's topic in Virginia Nursing

    if you have only been a nurse 6-7 months don't go to LTC yet unless that is what you REALLY want. Better to take a hospital job as a new grad. Keep applying and broaden your commute. Good

  18. Anyone married, with kids, and ACTIVE DUTY

    NursePamela replied to guyRN2009's topic in Government, Military

    I agree with all that has been said so far. The one BIG thing I always say about ANY spouse going overseas is plan on NOT working and consider yourself lucky if you get a job. If you plan on spouse...

  19. Jacksonville University

    NursePamela posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

    I am looking for information on JU. I read through the 24 pages of online RN-BSN sticky but did not find anything on JU. Does anyone have any first hand experience with Jacksonville University?...

  20. Questions on going from civilian to nurse-Army, Navy, Air Force

    NursePamela replied to mebamy's topic in Government, Military

    Ditto CarolinaPooh and Sgaik. With all the deployments and the mission comes first - NO ONE can guarantee you a nursing degree. If you really want to be the nurse - be the nurse first then go...

  21. Are Air Force Nurses Deployed very often?

    NursePamela replied to jcoolcuda's topic in Government, Military

    Also expect change. What happens this year is not what can happen

    NursePamela replied to bluemorningglory's topic in Government, Military

  25. Need a plan

    NursePamela replied to StudentCNM's topic in Government, Military

    I don't know of any rule about how many dependents you can have. Either me or my husband has been active for the last 18 years and I have seen MANY families with lots of children. I knew of one...
