    In Need of Clarification and Guidance Please!!!

    Lunah replied to HopefullApp's topic in Government, Military

    I can only speak for the Army, but my entire BSN GPA was looked at, and yes, it had to be 3.5 or above. Your non-RN time at the VA (or anywhere, for that matter) does not count toward rank at all....

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

    Does hair color affect hiring decisions?

    Lunah replied to Pinkudesu's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Personally, I think blonde hair looks awesome on Asian women. A friend of ours who is Korean dyed her hair platinum, and it looked very striking. I mean, come on.... How many wanna-be redheads are...

    The Nursing School to Welfare Pipeline

    Lunah replied to panurse9999's topic in General Nursing

    I became an ADN/RN at 36 and immediately doubled my paramedic salary. Then my BSN two years later allowed me to seek a commission in the Army (they don't take ADNs). The Army and GI Bill funded my...

    Lunah replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Nursing
