is there any height/weight limit to join the military?
US army or navy nurse specifically? i ask because i have a friend in Spain who is in the Spanish military and they have height minimums, independent of what you do once in , does America have anything similar?? i want to join once i graduate with my four year degree in nursing (only 2 left), i'm 5'1 100lbs, but i thought that wouldn't be a problem since i want to nurse, not a combat medic. i decided to join once i was a RN because i know that you don't enter basic boot camp (checked many times that's definite) but i was surprised when this guy laughed at me because of my size

I'm pretty sure you can join military service with your height and weight. There are height/weight requirements but I don't think your's fall below the requirement. If you finish your RN degree, you'll be an Officer Nurse. And you're right, you won't need to go to basic training because you can get a direct Commission.

You are fine. i have seen girls who weighed 90 pounds and were less than five feet tall to join. they had a problem carrying their sea bag but they graduated from basic training. I am only enlisted (corpsman) but I know a few new ensigns who were about your weight/height that just got in. Just keep up with your cardio so you can pass your biannual physical readiness test (run/bike, push-ups, sit-ups) and get in touch with a recruiter well ahead graduation. Navy is downsizing and they are getting pickier with who they get in.

well hi sorry to hear about your infection my mother has an ear infection and she takes tablets to help with the pain if you have drops put them in before you go to sleep and put a cotton bud in your ear then take it out in the morning and wrap it in something and take it to the doctors and ask them to see if your ear is leaking from the inside hope that works
2 :
Ask Mum to make an appointment with the DOCTOR, it sounds like an infection and you could need antibiotics. If its affecting your jaw now its getting worse not better.Have you tried resting your head on a hot water bottle, protected, or a wheat bag. They may ease the pain. Paracetamol or aspirin would be better than ibuprofen.
3 :
Are you running a fever? If so ear drops aren't working you need antibotics .Keep you hear warm like sleeping on a heating pad. If you have pains in your jaw Call the Dr. office tell them what is going on(i meanget your momto call ) they should have you pick up some drugs at a pharmacy> Don't keep on letting it go onyou'll lose your hearing!
4 :
I think I would get a second opinion, its not normal for the pain to get worse. Swimmers ear is another name for what you have. The drops really should have cleared it up.

Recalled for PAP Smear
Recalled for PAP Smear?
I went for a smear test on the 29th July and the nurse told me it would take about 2 months for the results....she said they would only call me if the results came back abnormal so if I didnt hear from her by the end of September then just come back for another yearly smear test next July. Well the nurse phoned me yesterday (I live in Spain by the way) and she said I have to go see the Gynecologist on the 7th of January....I asked was there something wrong and she said no its just procedure and not to worry....she said if there was something wrong I would have heard from them before now and they would be giving me an appointment straight away and not for a months time. I´m just wondering has this happened to anyone else...and why would they be calling me back....I´m very very nervous about test results and worry myself sick thinking about it.....should I be worried?

They may have seen some cells they don't like and want to talk to you about it, they may schedule another Pap in 6 mos. Don't worry... You can look up ASCUS/Pap & get more info...
