Joining the military and employment contracts

Nurses General Nursing

Published

I recently graduated with my BSN and signed a 2 year contract at a local facility to work in the ICU. However, I have recently decided to join the military. Will this negate the labor contract or will I still have to pay it back? Don't get me wrong, I will pay if that's my only choice. I'm just wondering if these types of contracts have a military loophole. I know that this is not a legal forum and I'm not asking for legal advice. Just wondering if anyone has been through this as well.

I think you need to consult an attorney. None of us are able to answer your question.

And yes, technically, you ARE asking for legal advice. Just saying you're not doesn't make it so.

You better make sure you know what you are signing up for if you go into the service.

Military world is a whole other creature than civilian world.

My guess is you will have to pay. It isn't like you are being deployed.
