    Enlisting is not likely to result in a commission as a nurse in the future. I would stay civilian until you would be able to seek a

    What is the most versatile/useful non-clinical MSN while on active duty

    Lunah replied to RayRN87's topic in Government, Military

    I believe TA runs concurrent - it did for me. When you use it, you incur a two-year ADSO after the point at which your last class ends. I stopped using it at the point where I had two years left on my...

    Best Online LPN to BSN Bridge Program???

    Lunah replied to kgallagher's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Have you looked for weekend/evening programs in your area? That might work better. Online programs are going to typically have limited acceptibility in ALL states. ISU's LPN-BSN isn't accepted...

    Heart murmur, could it prevent me from getting into the Air Force?

    Lunah replied to Fullmetaljacket96's topic in Government, Military

    Potentially yes, it could disqualify you. You will have to be evaluated to see if it affects you physically, and it will likely require a waiver

    Army Nurse Corps acceptance

    Lunah replied to sammitate's topic in Government, Military

    Convicted felons are not eligible, period. They would have a much harder time! Seriously, if you provide documentation, that should do the trick. If I recall, they want to see at least a year off of...

    What is the most versatile/useful non-clinical MSN while on active duty

    Lunah replied to RayRN87's topic in Government, Military

    I took my time and also had a bit of a delay when my preceptor was stationed elsewhere and it took me a year to find another (my school helped with this). I think it was about 4 years, lol. 2011...

    Lunah replied to RayRN87's topic in Government, Military

    I did Nursing Informatics while on active duty. I even managed to do a course during the winter months in Afghanistan, though we were a bit internet-challenged quite often.

    56 With Multiple Back Surgeries Wants to Become an RN

    Lunah replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    Another thing to remember is that your LPN to RN program will have clinicals that are potentially physically demanding. You will have to complete those clinicals to get to those possible...

    Army Nurse Corps acceptance

    Lunah replied to sammitate's topic in Government, Military

    What are your plans with your FNP degree? The Army may keep you at the bedside even as an FNP if you don't commission as one. In general, I think you have a good shot, yes! :) It will just depend on...

    AMEDD. NLE, CCNA credential, foreign BSN degree

    Lunah replied to kaizenart86's topic in Government, Military

    You need to be a US citizen and your degree requires ACEN or CCNE accreditation, so foreign education won't work. I am not sure that you would get credit for your overseas experience, either. I can...

    Quitting Small Residency for Bigger, Better Residency

    Lunah replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    There is a fine line between advocating for oneself and one's career and being self-serving and unprofessional. I hope the OP is happy with his/her choice, either way. I am curious to know what he/she...

    Congrats! I took the CEN when I had been an ED RN (and RN, period) for about 10 months. People usually know when they are ready! How is your orientation

    I can't figure out this calculation!

    Lunah replied to direw0lf's topic in General Students

    I always figure out the concentration first. You know that you have 25,000 units in 500 ml, which is a concentration of 50 units per ml (25,000 divided by 500). If you want 1300 units per hour, you...

    I know a couple of docs who were nurses first, and I also know a nurse who is in med school now. Yes, it is possible. Just know that the entire application process can be very lengthy and stressful,...

    This is not a great idea. IMGs tend to have difficulty with the match. As in, they don't always match into a residency. I think they are at about
