    RN to Army Medic or LPN

    Lunah replied to ReconMedic's topic in Government, Military

    Enlisted to officer in AMEDD is difficult at best. I think this would only be a way for you to continue serving, I doubt it would be a pathway to commissioning in the Nurse Corps. Not only is the...

    Endorsement

    Lunah replied to lianoland's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Geez, mine was much faster! I applied in October 2017 and had an active IL license in November 2017. I used a third party company to submit my fingerprints, maybe that helped. I also needed mine for...

    Lunah replied to myoglobin's topic in General Nursing

    The difference is that their earnings will increase many, many times over immediately after residency. Heck, some residents can even make hundreds of dollars an hour moonlighting during residency....

    CPEN help so nervous!

    Lunah replied to SnickerDoodle_RN's topic in Emergency

    I know it's a bit late, but you might want to review the chapter summaries from an ENPC book if you have one. Honestly, these board certs are meant to validate the things we do every day. If you have...

    Please excuse the nature of this question: upcoming tests

    Lunah replied to mathboy's topic in General Nursing

    Please direct these questions to your care team. I know it might be a bit uncomfortable to do so, but part of their job is to answer all of your questions and help make you as comfortable as possible....

    Clarifying Compact License

    Lunah replied to sprintermike's topic in Texas Nursing

    Look yourself up on nursys.com - if your Texas license does not specify "multistate," you need to apply for that. Here in Georgia when we enacted the compact legislation, obtaining a multistate...

    Joining AD after college as a 66T/ER nurse???

    Lunah replied to alprice2's topic in Government, Military

    I was a direct commission, I went through the process 9 years ago. Your recruiter really will guide you in developing your packet. Then it goes to a selection board. You will also have to be medically...

    Lunah replied to msnapper's topic in Government, Military

    People do get picked up from the OML. I am sure it is disappointing, but don't give up. OML is far better than "NO." A friend of mine applied for commissioning via CRNA/USAGPAN twice before being...

    It depends on who you go with and where you go, from what I have heard from people deployed now. I was in Afghanistan in 2013-2014, plenty of trauma

    Help me, Allnurses, I make bad choices when I'm anxious!

    Lunah replied to NightNerd's topic in General Nursing

    I figured there was more to it. All I can say is that a long commute is no joke — that would be 6 hours of time each week spent on the road, if you're doing three 12s. Been there, done that — I...
