Hi, I am applying to the texas tech SON for entry in summer 2007 for the BSN program. Can anybody tell me their opinions on this program, and its reputation? I am a male; how accepting and supportive of male nursing students are they?

First of all I am a new Navy nurse, and I really like my job and being in the military. I REALLY enjoyed my limited time at officer training command, especially all the "hooah" military type stuff and PTing and all. I have been reading about the army...

Hi all, I am currently an Ensign in the Navy Nurse Corps interested in pursuing nurse anesthesia, either military and civilian (really whichever one lets me in). I read that many nurse anesthesia schools require a college level biochemistry course (s...

Just wondering what the culture in the military is like as far as how well physicians and nurses work together, and whether there is a greater degree of professionalism that is brought on by the addition of a superseding rank structure. For instance;...

I work as a tech, and a couple of times younger male patients have requested that I come in and help clean them instead of their female nurse. Never had a female patient refuse assistance because I have a Y chromosome.

Specifically, is the school of nursing BSN program a good program? What about the living near the school in galveston? tell me your thoughts, experiences, opinions, etc.

As some of you may remember me, I am an NCP student, just finished my first semester of school. I was wondering if anybody knew of some good websites with information about various opportunities for nurses while in the Navy. Like duty under instructi...

Sorry sir, I realize my question was a bit vague. I probably shouldn't being posting when I have had less than 4 hours of sleep :) I was watching a video my recruiter gave me, and on it was a Naval Officer who was both a nurse and a SEAL. Do they hav...

did anyone else get a scholarship from the school of nursing? If so, when are they supposed to come in?

Question for the current or former military nurses; Is it true that in the military the scope of practice for nurses is much greater than in the civilian world? If so, what sort of things are nurses permitted and required to perform?

thank you Sir, for providing me with insight into the field. I am just starting a BSN program, so I will not be done until 2009. For my first duty station I will try to request San Diego, but I know that it is really according to the needs of the Nav...

Commander Sir, The reason I ask is because I was reading about the Independent Duty Corpsmen, and I wondered if there were similar positions for nursing professionals. As you may already know, I was accepted into the Navy NCP, so I am trying to learn...

Anyone receive a registration packet yet?

Navyspouse, you said something to the effect of "whether you like the Navy depends on you." Could you elaborate on that? what makes a successful Navy Nurse Officer?

I haven't gotten the letter yet either. I think its because my final transcript has not yet arrived at UT houston. I did get a CANDO letter though.

I am signed up for an EMT-I class. So I don't think I will be able to attend FOCUS or CANDO. Will I be at a serious disadvantage due to not attending? or will my EMS experience make up for it?

Why don't you try to do the Navy Nurse Candidate Program? It seems to be a good program with lots of financial support. Anyone have any further insight into this program?

So how is everyone planning on getting to school? ride the bus or train? or just drive in the traffic? Anyone thinking of renting an apartment on or near campus? Let me know if you are considering of subleasing or sharing an apartment.

I think you should aim for somewhere in the 90s (as in your overall percentile), but they look into more than just test scores. What are your back up plans? Ever thought of going the paramedic to RN route? it takes longer but you will be a well train...

coffee, pleased to make your acquaintance. I don't know about the books, but for this summer I am planning on taking and completing an EMT-Intermediate course, as well as continuing to work for a private ambulance company. This summer will be an insa...

Lene, I already bugged them about it. They said they won't remove the admissions documents hold until I send in my transcript for this semester. I put in my immunizations documents, and they haven't removed that hold yet. I assume they just haven't g...

How about that hepatitis B vaccination? I got it 7 years ago (the three shot series), and I still have all of my shot records. Do they make you get it again? or do I need a booster shot? I was also wondering about that prerequisite due date. My guess...

This is sort of a silly question due to the nature of what a nurse does, but I was just curious: How much "ground combat" training would a Navy Nurse receive? Perhaps a nurse that is serving in a field hospital would receive more weapons and combat t...

I got in! I will see you there in the fall.

So what is everybody doing about the CNA, patho, and pharmacology "recommended" courses? I have become certified as an EMT-B. I was thinking about just taking pharm and path the first semester there. What are your thoughts on this?
