my name is candice and i'm a junior nursing student at texas tech university. i am in the process of applying for the navy nurse candidate program and can't wait to graduate and enter the navy. i have heard from some people that all the nurses do is boss around the corpsmen and don't do nursing duties. i know that corspmen are used a lot, but will i still be able to apply my nursing skills one on one with patients?
also, i am wanting to go into perioperative nursing and a commander informed me that the navy is in shortage of or nurses. is there anyone that can tell me about any experiences in the or teams with the navy?
thanks!!! :roll
