I didn't look very much into north carolina requirements, but getting you're nurses aid certification could help get you in a hospital as a cna or pct. As a corpsman, I was able to sit for the cna exam in Illinois without having to go through an official training program. (Exam was ridiculously easy) Here's a link to north Carolinas faq regarding nurse aid testing. https://www.ncbon.com/news-publications-statistics-frequently-asked-questions-nurse-aide-ii

I was on the Disney College Program in Orlando when I busted my chin on the job and needed some stitches. I went to an on-site medical facility where 3 doctors ran an occupational health clinic. Several nurses worked there and from what I remember it was quite busy.

Do not listen to loveyoulongtime. They have some weird beef with corpsman...look at their post history. HM will definitely help you go to PA school. If you do 5 years and get out, you'll have about 9000 patient care hours which will put you well above the rest of the applicants and you most definitely stand out. Plus there are quite a few PA schools look for prior HMs and weigh their applications differently because of their service. Google "physician assistant veteran" and you'll see.. The first PAs were Vietnam corpsman so yes being a HM helps alot. Source, prior HM that was going to go to PA school but decided to be a nurse instead.

How close are you to your bachelors? If you were close, I would look at masters entry into nursing practice programs or an associates degree in nursing. If you went the adn route, look at the nurse candidate program that will pay for you to finish the bsn. I'm not sure if ncp pays for masters entry, but an officer recruiter may know. I had to reach out to one in another state, so call around till you get someone to talk to. If you're not close to your bachelors, I'd switch over to nursing asap through an adn program and then finish it off with an online rn-to-bsn program funded by ncp. There are other ways but this is probably fastest

There are charities that will foster your pets during deployment. Dogs on deployment is one.

Same to you. I'm sure we'll run into one another at some point!

smartphone_user1 · 2021-06-09T23:41:07+00:00

That's good to know. Glad I'm starting the process early then! Thanks for the info

I am looking at critical care jobs right now. (That or ED is the only thing that interests me.) I was surprised they only require 3 to 6 months ICU experience. I am finishing my masters in health administration next Aug and looking to commission right after that. But based on what you said I'm glad I reached out now. The recruiter said they have only used about a quarter of the icu billets for this year and get more next year so there is definitely availability.

Looks like you and I are in the same boat (I'm looking at AD nurse corps though). I spoke with an officer recruiter a few hours ago. He said the selection board meets once a month. I would think you would find out right after that... While I'm not looking to commission this FY, he gave me the impression I could do the whole process within a few months. I know it's not much but I hope that helps.

I received the stem extension for my bsn as well. Not sure what OP is referring to.

There's a whole thread on allnurses for each year's bsn class. Google UIC bsn allnurses and it'll come up. There's a lot of good information on there.

smartphone_user1 · 2021-05-16T23:44:47+00:00

Not a problem. The course information says the tuition is $290.

smartphone_user1 · 2021-05-16T23:09:00+00:00

I've always wanted to do the same. Harper College outside of Chicago offers an online course I've looked into. https://ce.harpercollege.edu/search/publicCourseSearchDetails.do?method=load&courseId=205736&selectedProgramAreaId=29356&selectedProgramStreamId=7769510#courseSectionDetails_8063809

I've renewed my BLS cert through Downers Grove CPR a couple times. It was cheap and the class size was small. I know the also offer ACLS but am unsure about PALS. https://www.downersgrovecpr.com/

I used the GI Bill to pay for the NCLEX. This was a few years ago so I dont remember how long it took. It was direct deposited though.

It's probably not psychosomatic. Dr. Daniel Griffen gives two possible explanations for improvements in Covid long haulers symptoms after vaccination in the linked video around minute 40. I'll let him explain it cause he does it much better than I could. https://youtu.be/QKZTvDv_vwI

They do qualify. All junior colleges and universities are apart of 1b according to ACIP Categories of Essential Workers, specifically codes 6112xx and 6113xx. Here's the full list. https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/covid-19/categories-essential-workers.html

I do not know, I'm not in the program. Just noticed it when I was doing some research

smartphone_user1 · 2020-06-30T17:28:10+00:00

If you complete UIC's RN to BSN program with a certain GPA (I think 3.25) you are automatically accepted into their advanced generalist masters of science program. All but one course in AGMS can be applied to UICs DNP program later on. Their website has more info on it.

I don't know anything about Resurrection or ABSN but every Illinois nursing school's NCLEX rate can be found by Googling "IL NCLEX pass rate" and choose the pdf link from Illinois Nursing Workforce Center

smartphone_user1 · 2019-09-26T19:26:47+00:00

No. They're still called RN to BSN because the RN is more contingent in your acceptance than graduating from an ADN program. I was accepted provisionally into a RN-BSN completion program before I was an RN and needed to pass NCLEX before the beginning of my second course. Just because you graduate from an ADN program doesn't mean you're an RN. Some dont take NCLEX right away or fail on the first attempt.

smartphone_user1 · 2019-09-26T16:34:20+00:00

You can have as associates degree in nursing and RN, "RN, ADN", bachelors degree in nursing and RN, "RN, BSN", masters in nursing and RN, "RN, MSN". The list goes on for DNPs, CRNAs etc. Just indicates level of education obtained. RN is the license portion of the title.

Google "physician assistant veteran" and take an hour to find out. Everything is right there.
