    Lunah replied to cleback's topic in General Nursing

    Hey, congrats!! I don't think there is anything wrong with contacting new HR before your deadline to submit the resignation letter to get something in writing, but it sounds like a done

    Touro University - Nevada DNP Program - anyone???

    Lunah replied to traumaRUs's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I am tickled. And jealous, because I live 20 miles from a state where I could have done this program, but decided to go elsewhere rather than move across the border!

    Personal Statement Help!

    I am an Excelsior graduate (paramedic to RN), and it is NOT a quick route. The current wait time for the final clinical exam is 12-14 months. On top of that, Georgia will require the OP to do a...

    Lunah replied to carolinapooh's topic in Government, Military

    Military options as an RN? (new ABSN student)

    Lunah replied to Anat_AMY_cna's topic in Government, Military

    No, 48 months of time in service. Sorry, I realize that I made it sound like there were 48 months between O-2 and O-3. I had to have 48 months total time in service to pin on O-3, which was a less for...

    Lunah replied to NYCNative21's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I know plenty of people who worked and were able to pay bills while in school - me included. Paramedic isn't a stepping stone to RN. If you want to be a paramedic, go to paramedic school. If you want...

    Military options as an RN? (new ABSN student)

    Lunah replied to Anat_AMY_cna's topic in Government, Military

    This is not quite correct. Nurses do not get promoted every year, rank does not go up with every two years of civilian time - that just gives you another year of constructive credit, not necessarily a...
