I'm sure this question has been asked more than once, so please bear with me. I've been sifting through all the information I can find, but I still don't quite understand...
I've just started toying with the idea of Navy Nursing. I graduate from a BSN program in December. But have very little knowledge about the military in general, less about the Navy specifically, and even less about Navy Nursing.
Specifically, I'm wondering about the following:
1.What are the requirements for being accepted?
2.What is the minimum length for which you can sign up?
3.After being accepted, what happens as far as training? (What kind, where do you go, how long etc)
4.After training, then what? What kind of setting do you start off in, how long will you be there, and do you get any real choice at this point in where you'll be?
5.What about deployments? How often and how long? Do deployments differ for nurses and if they do, how so?
6.What other things do I need to know but I don't know enough to know that I need to know them?
Thank you so much for any insight. I'm planning on speaking with a recruiter soon, but I want to be a little more informed first. You know... wouldn't want to have “sucker” written on my forehead.
