    MSN FNP or Post-MSN cert?

    Lunah replied to JenH3's topic in Nursing Career

    That will really depend on the transfer policies of the NP programs you are considering. Really, those post-Masters NP programs are set up for existing NPs to add other specialties such as acute care,...

    After accepting it, how to notify HR that I decided to refuse their job offer

    Lunah replied to Solnce1981's topic in Nursing Career

    Just remember: bad news doesn't get better with time. You'll feel better once it is done, and that will give them time to extend an offer to someone else. Congrats on your peds job!

    Lunah replied to ladmire87's topic in Government, Military

    My recruiter took me shopping at clothing sales near where I lived about 2 months before BOLC. I bought everything I would need, including my ASUs. I am glad she went with me or I would have been...

    Requirements for Georgia RN licensing by endorsement

    Lunah replied to Mhaidara's topic in Georgia Nursing

    You'll have to ask the board if they will recognize your hours from Canada. They have a specific form that your employer will have to complete, if they do accept those hours. Good

    VA nurse job with Other Than Honorable Discharge

    Lunah replied to jlambirt's topic in Government, Military

    Yes, that is to claim veterans preference (I see you edited, so you get it). VA job descriptions themselves say nothing about requiring any sort of discharge to hold the job. I am also a vet.

    Army Direct Commission

    Lunah replied to NickRN2020's topic in Government, Military

    I direct-commissioned as an ER/trauma nurse with a BSN, as is the minimum requirement. Your prior enlisted experience will have no bearing on officer rank, nor will additional non-nursing degrees....

    please give me some advice. Preparing for CEN exam in abroad...

    Lunah replied to julia_'s topic in Emergency

    You should definitely email the BCEN staff regarding your discount. Good luck with the exam! Jeff Solheim's material is great, and I am sure the ENA prep is good too. The ENA just released the 5th...

    Lunah replied to jlambirt's topic in Government, Military

    That is a really good question, I hope someone else can answer for sure. I think it just means that you can't claim veterans preferance when you apply. As long as you have a nursing license in good...

    telemetry before ER?

    Lunah replied to medteleER's topic in Emergency

    Renew your ACLS and go straight to the ER if you have the opportunity. You'll be exposed to various rhythms in no

    Under DHA, centralization of military healthcare

    Lunah replied to gilversplace's topic in Government, Military

    Right, and that affects the administration of the actual facility far more than the day-to-day operations of the servicemember. I think we are going to see more services outsourced to civilian...

    Charge Nurse in 6 months?

    Lunah replied to iheartnursing91's topic in Nursing Career

    I just have to say kudos to you, OP, for keeping your head together in those rough situations and also knowing where to go for help (i.e., calling the pharmacy for assistance) rather than just winging...

    More proof (in case you needed it) that HCA is evil

    Lunah replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    One instance in which they do make money: when the Army has its Tricare beneficiaries deliver there. That always be a hoppin' L&D unit! Especially during a deployment baby

    Maintaining CEN certificate

    Lunah replied to Pheebz777's topic in Emergency

    If those CEs pertain to the areas you quoted, then yes. It is very common to "double-dip" between board certs to maintain them, just as long as they cover the correct subject
