    Epic Charting

    Lunah replied to newvillemom's topic in General Nursing

    In my experience, you can delete your own stuff, but it would leave an obvious indication that something had been removed because you have to enter a reason for deleting (such as "charted on wrong...

    Seeking "a-day-in-the-life" from Military Nurses!

    Lunah replied to Capsaicin`'s topic in Government, Military

    No, I was a direct commission into the active duty component. When I left active duty, I considered Reserves, but the closest unit that needed a nurse was about 5.5 hours from me and I had too much...

    Seeking "a-day-in-the-life" from Military Nurses!

    Lunah replied to Capsaicin`'s topic in Government, Military

    Did you ever serve as an RN? That is the experience I am speaking of that is similar to a civilian RN in day-to-day life. Officer basic is nothing like enlisted basic training, my husband (former Army...

    It's really not much different from civilian nursing unless you are deployed. :) Are you thinking of joining, or just

    For those of you keeping up with the process, the application to convert your Georgia RN license to a multistate eNLC license is now available on the Georgia BON website. The first thing you need to...

    Looking To Join the Army Nurse Corps

    Lunah replied to Jsnagle's topic in Government, Military

    What do you think would be "easier" if your husband were active too? You may actually decrease your odds of being able to live together, depending on his

    Accepted! Not so fast....

    Lunah replied to srmore11's topic in General Students

    That's great that your loans are almost out of default! Congrats on that hard work. Now your goal is to spend as little as possible for your RN. Stay at Ivy, get an ASN, then bridge to BSN later at...

    Air Force Nursing

    Lunah replied to melm07's topic in Government, Military

    I know for the Army, it was cumulative and yes, 3.5 was the minimum. That application process itself for any branch is long (expect a year), so you are really out of time to pursue NTP. All routes are...

    TERRIFIED

    Lunah replied to dreamnursing2's topic in General Students

    I think students who have "lived" a bit before tackling school tend to have an easier time. A lot of it has to do with coping skills and support systems. You're a mom. You are already a superhero. :)...

    ED Terminology, what does it mean?

    Lunah replied to jrsrn18's topic in Emergency

    When you talk about the ENPC test, do you really mean the CPEN board exam? ENPC is a two-day course. I only ask because the CEN is a board exam, and board exams and courses are apples and oranges. If...

    Former VA Nurse wanting to join Navy Nurse Corp as Reservist

    Lunah replied to Redfathom's topic in Government, Military

    All branches require a BSN to commission. You should contact recruiters directly for current needs and age limits. I believe the Army is still 42, Air Force might be 47. As I have heard it, the Navy...

    Air Force critical care vs med surg

    Lunah replied to Gamecock RN's topic in Government, Military

    No, you would need civilian critical care experience to come in and go right to critical care in the Air Force. This is true for all branches of the service,

    Teaching with DNP and not a MSN

    Lunah replied to XPerez's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Are they looking for a nurse educator degree? Do you have any experience teaching? What was the focus of your DNP? I'm going to move this post to the faculty forum to encourage feedback.

    Medevac coast guard

    Lunah replied to gilversplace's topic in Government, Military

    I believe the USPHS gets detailed to the Coast Guard, but I am not sure if USPHS personnel do MEDEVAC activities. But rescue swimmers are typically aboard Coast Guard helos, and they have medical...

    Can CNAs work one 12h shift a week?

    Lunah replied to LindseyPar's topic in General Students

    You would have to check with your local hospitals to see what they offer. If you obtain a job that is not full-time, then yes, there would be fewer shifts per week. Good

    GPA

    Lunah replied to ally252's topic in Chamberlain College

    Chamberlain requires a 2.75 for consideration, so a 2.5 isn't going to be enough, no matter what you score on the HESI. Your best bet might be to repeat classes you didn't do well in to replace those...

    Lunah replied to nurse.n's topic in General Nursing

    I also assumed that this meant checking O2 and suction for readiness. In ERs where I have worked, a licensed person (usually RN) had to check the O2 and suction (portable) that was part of the code...
