Question out there for active/retired duty nurses.

What's a quick comparison between civilian hospitals and military hospitals?
and
Anybody out there retired from the military as a nurse or did more than 10 years? If I could, i would be interested in looking at being an career military RN as opposed to doing just a few years or so.

Military hospital vs. civilian hospital the difference is everyone is/was or belongs to someone in the military. Beyond that, a hospital is a hospital and I'm not trying to be a smart-a. I invited a member from the board to meet with me and get a tour, he to was expecting something different and remarked, "it's just a regular hospital." I said, "yep, they are no different" only the patient population. I've been in for almost 11 years, got out once for 11 months, now doing the career thing. How can I help?

As for the response to the doctor question, that would be the longer version, albeit pretty accurate. Some notions will never change...
