  1. Interesting Situation (Thoughts?)

    lselvio replied to asneakyseal's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    I am confused about "treat the SVR directly". CO and SVR are inversely related. If CO is down, then SVR has to be high....correct? It is my understanding that the SVR is a calculated number, not a...

  2. Hospitalist NP Certification ever be likely?

    lselvio replied to Bumashes's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I recently exchanged emails with someone at the organization behind the consensus model. We were discussing certifications, like the one you mentioned regarding the ER. She stated that...

    lselvio posted a topic in Government, Military

    I have been a nurse for 12 years, only a BSN since May 2017. 9 years of that have been in either ICU or the cath lab. I am married, have 2 children, 1 of which is from my previous marriage. Not...

  4. Army or Navy

    lselvio replied to lselvio's topic in Government, Military

    I asked about it, but both recruiters said something along the line of "if grad school is your goal, the reserves don't really have good programs to help with

  5. Army or Navy

    lselvio replied to lselvio's topic in Government, Military

    Good thought. The last part of what you said is my reasoning as well. Serving, even if I hate it, could be a meaningful experience. I'm thinking Navy because it's a 4 year deal and not 8, if it...

  6. Army or Navy

    lselvio replied to lselvio's topic in Government, Military

    That is definitely good insight. Yes, prior to this thread, in my head there was this impression that everyone was grateful and compliant because they're military, lol. Obviously that was naive....

  7. Army or Navy

    lselvio replied to lselvio's topic in Government, Military

    Recruiter stated one tour before eligible. As it is now, I have to wait 5 years before being able to obtain grad PLUS loans (meaning I can't pay for it now). So, worse case scenario, I join, decide...

    lselvio replied to lselvio's topic in Government, Military

    That is food for thought. May I ask how old your step daughter was? My daughter is 7 at the moment, and i have a good relationship with

  10. DNP should be the Minimum Entry Practice

    lselvio replied to nqe9650's topic in General Nursing

    While I disagree with most of the language of the OP, I understand where they are coming from. Advanced practice nurses, as a whole, strive for the same independent rights as physicians, particularly...

    lselvio replied to lselvio's topic in Government, Military

    Thanks! Sometimes it's just cathartic to put some things in writing. Makes one think about it a little more than just tossing it around in your head, ya

  12. Army or Navy

    lselvio replied to lselvio's topic in Government, Military

    Right, and I think I understand that pretty well. But you for example (hopefully not too personal), were you excited to go between homes? I envision my daughter being excited to see places I won't...

  13. Army or Navy

    lselvio replied to lselvio's topic in Government, Military

    And that is what I'm hoping. Yes the money and having school paid is certainly appealing. But for the last 12 years it's been "work, home, work, home" and I don't really fee I've done anything. I...

  14. Army or Navy

    lselvio replied to lselvio's topic in Government, Military

    I envisioned the guys being grateful and compliant since their job relies on them being healthy. Or that they have just been injured fighting. Something other than the same non compliance I see now....

  15. Army or Navy

    lselvio replied to lselvio's topic in Government, Military

    I have talked to both recruiters and both have said as long as the foreclosure is finalized, they do not see it as an issue. Getting school paid for is obviously a big incentive, but that is not the...

  16. Army or Navy

    lselvio replied to lselvio's topic in Government, Military

    I realize I never posed a question. For those of you, navy and/or army, I am just looking for thoughts. Specifically as it pertains to a shared custody situation with my daughter from the first...

    Sorry, new to the forums and was not able to find where this should go. I currently hold an associates in nursing and have worked as RN, mostly in critical care/cath lab for 9 years. I recently...

    lselvio replied to lselvio's topic in Government, Military

    Thanks for the input guys. I'm not trying to avoid the unfavorable, rather just talk it through thoroughly. And it seems the more information I get, the more questions I come up with. So going for...

    lselvio replied to lselvio's topic in Government, Military

    I have, there is a local healthcare recruiter that gave me a few options. He hasn't relayed much of what you guys have said as far as downsizing/not needing nurses. He mentioned the 68 series...

    lselvio replied to lselvio's topic in Government, Military

    Thank you for that information! Good stuff to think about. So so even if I get my BSN and apply for commissions and get in, there's a hence I won't work as a nurse? And same for as enlisted: if I...

    lselvio replied to lselvio's topic in Government, Military

    I am not against moving. Yes money is the driving force. I also don't know that I could swing the type of debt that is incrued going CRNA as a civillian. Also, all of the other benefits that the...

    Currently my cuGPA is 2.63 with a science GPA of 2.48. The last couple classes I have taken (being all grown up now) I have received an A, so getting all A's in my BSN would get me a cuGPA OF 3.0,...
