A big first step, and one which they haven't done, is to run their show the way the Air Force does. The AF is a pain in the rear on some things, but they do have better working and living conditions. The only thing is, the AF doesn't have the equipment for survival that the Army has. The AF was using reject Army tents and borrowed water buffalo, etc. just to be in the field for a week. The Army needs to look at why people would rather join the AF. Now, some of that can't be helped. The Army is hemorrhaging medical staff, and it is tough for them to keep up with the demand. They are really pushing their Physician Assistant Program right now.

Yup, the over-the-center mount works fine. Lock, Stock, & Barrel has high shipping prices.

Tell you what, don't even trouble yourselves to send it unless the boss asks for proof. Honestly, the man would have been the ideal D.I.

MEMORANDUM FOR ARMY NURSE CORPS OFFICERS

 

SUBJECT: Every Nurse is a Recruiter Program (ENRP)

 

 

1. The Army Nurse Corps (ANC) must bring in approximately 360 new accessions each year in order to maintain the current Active Component (AC) force structure. These officers come from a variety of commissioning sources, including the U. S. Army Cadet Command (USACC), the Army Medical Department Enlisted Commissioning Program (AECP), and through the U.S. Army Recruiting Command (USAREC) as fully qualified direct accessions. The U.S. Army Accessions Command (USAAC) has oversight for all of these missions.

 

2. The ANC has not met its accession goals since 1998. This can be attributed to many factors, to include the growing shortage of nurses and nursing school faculty nationwide, the downsizing of the Army, a decrease of nursing programs in which the Cadet Command had a presence, and the Global War on Terrorism, to name a few.

 

3. Research demonstrates that nurses are the most important contacts for future ANC officers and persons that influence them (i.e. deans of nursing schools, nursing school faculty, etc). Anecdotally, reports from current AN recruiters recount that personal contact and connection with an Army Nurse often “seals the deal” for many prospective applicants. While nurses assigned to USAREC perform an invaluable function, the need persists for applicants to speak with Army Nurses who are currently working with patients.

 

4. This memorandum announces the implementation of the Every Nurse is a Recruiter Program (ENRP) commencing in February 2006 for all ANC (AC) officers, as detailed in the enclosed U.S. Army Nurse Corps Every Nurse is a Recruiter Program Implementation Plan.

 

5. This new program is vital for both the future of our Corps and the current state of our nursing practice. I look forward to working with each of you, as nurses and officers, to meet this most critical of missions. As we celebrate 105 years of Army Nursing, let’s work together to recruit high quality professionals for the Army Nurse Corps. Thank you for your dedication and service.

MEMORANDUM FOR ARMY NURSE CORPS OFFICERS

 

SUBJECT: U.S. Army Nurse Corps Every Nurse is a Recruiter Program (ENRP) Implementation Plan

 

 

1. Situation.

 

a. The Army Nurse Corps (ANC) must bring in approximately 360 new accessions each year in order to maintain the current Active Component (AC) force structure. These officers come from a variety of commissioning sources, including the U. S. Army Cadet Command (USACC), the Army Medical Department Enlisted Commissioning Program (AECP), and through the U.S. Army Recruiting Command (USAREC) as fully qualified direct accessions. The U.S. Army Accessions Command (USAAC) has oversight for all of these missions.

 

b. The ANC has not met its accession goals since 1998. This can be attributed to many factors, to include the growing shortage of nurses and nursing school faculty nationwide, the downsizing of the Army, a decrease of nursing programs in which the Cadet Command had a presence, and the Global War on Terrorism, to name a few.

 

c. Research demonstrates that nurses are the most important contacts for future ANC officers and persons that influence them (i.e. deans of nursing schools, nursing school faculty, etc). Anecdotally, reports from current AN recruiters recount that personal contact and connection with an Army Nurse often “seals the deal” for many prospective applicants. While nurses assigned to USAREC perform an invaluable function, the need persists for applicants to speak with Army Nurses who are currently working with patients.

 

2. Responsibilities.

 

a. Every Army Nurse (AN) performs a minimum of two days of recruiting and/or retention activities per annual rating period to assist the ANC in meeting its recruiting and retention goals.

 

b. Every AN who attends a professional nursing conference will assist in recruiting

efforts by:

 

(1) Daily wearing of uniform (Class As or Bs) at conferences, and

(2) If present, working in the U.S. Army Recruiting Command’s (USAREC) Army of One recruiting booth as a subject-matter expert in nursing.

 

c. Each ANC officer enrolled in Long Term Health Education and Training provides

assistance two days per school year to USACC and/or USAREC in their efforts to recruit for the ANC.

 

3. Mission. Implementation of this program is vital to both the future of the ANC and the current state of our nursing practice. Involvement in both recruiting and retention activities will lead to a sense of responsibility for maintenance of the ANC and nursing in general.

 

4. Concept.

 

a. General Guidance. This program is for all Active Component ANC officers. Each senior ANC leader will include one bullet on recruiting and retention on their Officer Evaluation Report (OER) Support Form (DA Form 67-9-1) and each subordinate leader will then reflect that goal in his/her OER Support Form. At the time of evaluation, the rater includes a corresponding remark in the narrative section of the OER.

 

b. Implementation Guidance. The Army Nurse Corps will begin implementation of the Every Nurse is a Recruiter Program in February 2006 in recognition of our 105th Anniversary (2 February 2006). The program will be advertised via the ANC newsletter, AKO accounts and Officer Professional Development (OPD) programs.

 

5. Process.

 

a. Officers may choose from a variety of activities to support this goal, including but not limited to the following:

 

(1) Assisting a USAREC Health Care Recruiter in presenting the ANC to

potential applicants or educators.

 

(2) Assisting an ROTC Brigade Nurse Counselor or Recruiting Operations Officer in presenting the ANC to potential applicants or educators.

 

(3) Assisting the hospital civilian Nurse Recruiter at local nursing

job/career fairs.

 

(4) Promote the AMEDD Enlisted Commissioning Program (AECP) to

every enlisted Soldier in your facility.

 

(5) Community involvement as an ANC officer (e.g. school career day

presentations, blood pressure clinics, etc).

 

(6) Encourage recent graduates to return to their alma maters (in conjunction with USAREC and/or USACC) to talk about the great experiences they have had as an AMEDD officer (officers who have recently returned from OIF/OEF may be especially beneficial in recruiting for future AMEDD leaders).

 

(7) Promoting the ANC and nursing by serving on the ANC Anniversary or Nurses Week committees within the hospital.

 

 

(8) MTF’s may consider doing a joint “Nurses Week” celebration with local area hospitals.

 

(9) During Nurses Week, promote the profession of nursing to a group of elementary school students.

 

(10) MTF’s may also consider extending invitations for the ANC Anniversary celebration to local hospitals and nursing schools in the community.

 

(11) Encourage officers at all levels to participate in health awareness events in the community (i.e. breast cancer awareness) or if they are sponsoring a health awareness event, open it up to the local community.

 

(12) Encourage the Junior Officer Council to participate in local community activities (i.e. Habitat for Humanity).

 

(13) Encourage all officers to share their Army story. By relaying their good news stories and "promoting service to country and taking care of Soldiers", this program would promote being a part of a world-class healthcare organization- the Army Medical Department.

 

(14) Teaching professional development courses at their facility, such as Preceptor Development, mentoring, etc.

 

(15) Writing articles for professional or lay publications about the ANC.

 

(16) Active involvement in local professional nursing organizations (e.g. committee membership, holding elected office, etc.).

 

(17) Contact their alma mater ROTC program with their most up to date contact info so that recruiters at the school can pass along e-mail or phone numbers to potential prospects.

 

(18) Submit an article for their hometown and/or college newspaper(s) describing their experiences as an Army Nurse.

 

(19) Set up briefing for spouses or family members of Soldiers in their facility to discuss opportunities for them to pursue a nursing career in the Army as an officer or a DA civilian.

 

(20) Promote partnership with Army Nurse Corps Association (ANCA) members and nearby ANC recruiters in the various regions to assist with presentations in schools, hospitals and at conventions.

 

(21) Become a big brother/big sister to an ROTC nursing student either at their alma mater or a nearby university.

 

(22) Provide presentations to local boy or Girl Scout troops to promote the profession of nursing, especially Army nursing.

 

(23) If a member of Sigma Theta Tau, contact the local chapter and offer to present a briefing about the ANC.

 

(24) Offer to teach a leadership class or provide a “field nursing” presentation at a local school of nursing.

 

(25) Participate in local running/walking events as an “ANC Team”.

 

(26) If participating in approved off-duty employment at local hospitals, promote the ANC to hospital employees.

Extra large crock pot- the gift what keeps on a-given'

How'd you train them?

Yes, they will jerk it sooner or later because of their anti-gun thinking. It will get us on the search board though even after they jerk it. I figure it's worth a whirl.

Yahoo is paying off from what I can see.

I'm selling two of my desirable guns to finance ads in addition to what we have. In general, really more than I expected, folks are helping out with the site expense, which is very reasonable. Some folks though that use the site will never give anything, which isn't right, but there's nothing I can do about it. It just isn't fair to those of you that have given more than your fair share.

That does work here. Some areas need an expert though to be desirable. For instance, we don't have a shotgun or pistol expert. Paul used to be our reloading expert.

Well, the Army is known for mandates, and now there is a new one. Army nurses must do community service in uniform or by writing and promote nursing. Goal hasn't been met since 1998. "Every Nurse a Recruiter". Now that's desparation! We now have to have two bullets on our evals showing we were recruiters.

Ooh boy, that looks like fun! What state? I was raised in SD and loved to go with my dad and grandpa pheasant hunting.

Your uncle is a lab?!

You are on to something here!

 

I believe we shooters should embrace diversity. Diversity and tolerance means acknowledging that even liberal democrats have a trigger finger: Feinstein, Kennedy, Schumer, Daschel, they all have trigger fingers. We welcome them to our little fraternity. Pink Pistols are a bit tougher, but yes, we must love them into our peaceable kingdom too! We will celebrate the diversity by having having National Squirrel Heritage Month January (never microwave squirrel), Rabbit Remembrance Month Feb., Turkey Festival Days in March, Hog on a spit in April, Coyote Month for June, Prairie Dog Cook-off in July, Armadillo Chili month is August, etc.

No more will we be just a group of old farts, but we'll have women, babies, and wierdos as our brethren and sisters. Amen.

Do you kind of wonder if maybe this guy was trying to flush quail by driving them towards Cheney?

Professor Karl, lead the way please!

Yeah, I saw those misspellings too.

Don't you love the pig and chicken with the tear? I can tell those bozos never worked on a farm.

When you say he got "it" back you mean the land, right? At first I thought you meant the uniforms.

Congratulations! What have you been flying?

That would be fine as long as we don't get viewed a "survivalist site".

I was at Barksdale AFB in Bossier Cty and Shreveport during the 84-91. Haven't been back since. Kind of wonder if it's changed much?

Sounds fair to me.

Adjusting the trigger

What would you call it? I'm willing to try.

Yeah baby, we're on the search engine in a much better place than Google ever did.

The Yahoo ads will crop up by tonight. I wouldn't click on them though because each click costs money.
