With the 9/11 GI Bill, schooling would be covered 100%, along with a monthly stipend of close to $2K.

Been in for 13 years.

Received Combat Lifesaver Training, but not a medic. Would certification as a PT do any good? Just curious.

Probably not when you got done looking for a job, however that would depend on where and what you planned to do. Nursing can be broad based, from hospitals many departments, to administrative not even taking care of patients, to legal etc.

I would say that once basics are done and you are actually in the nursing program, get a part time job in a hospital some where. This will help grease the wheels for when you are done, also will let you see where you want to work.

On a personal note be prepared when you get into nursing school, that is were I met my wife. The ratio of male to female and high stress makes a very interesting outcome. So either go in very happily married or single. My .02[/quote]

Much appreciated. As for the 2 cents, it will definitely be one or the other by then. [/quote]

Yes sir any time, you can always PM or ask on the + also. I have helped a ton of people get into the field and navigate there way through the BS. I had friends help me so I pay it forward. And the .02 I assumed that but just wanted to for warn you. :slight_smile:

Houston is a place in demand for nursing. Just saying :slight_smile:

Re: high stress and marriage with school - same thing with law school. If you went in married, you came out single, and if you went in single, you came out married (or close to married).

You should see what goes on in Hospitals, all those medical programs on TV are not far of from real life. Everyone is sleeping with everyone. Hookem

Good thing the the husband of one of my clients is a closet homosexual… his wife would be devastated.

Bad News: I guess theres been some family drama in the motherland.
Good news: Dasher gets a paid vacation to the Czech Republic to console family!

(note: not major drama, just some where a cousin needs a little Dash in her life)
