Nursing at Ft. Gordon


I would love it if anyone out there could give me a little info about life at Gordon. I graduate in December and will probably PCS directly to my next duty station sometime in February (I'm in the FNEP). I'm in the MACP and my husband and I are trying to weigh our options at different locations that neither one of us have been to.

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Default Re: Nursing at Ft. Gordon
Hey,
I live here in Augusta. Fort Gordon is great IF you ask me, but I don't have many other Army hospitals to compare to. Augusta is big enough to have lots to do, but small enough to not hate your life! You can easily get to Columbia w/in an hour and ATL w/in 3. Summers are VERY hot, but honestly people either stay inside, or find ways to enjoy it despite the heat. Honestly I don't even notice it any more. Winters are usually mild with temps in the 30s during the day at the coldest part of the year. Fort Gordon itself is very large and only getting large. It is host to some MAJOR commands to include: Eisenhower Hospital (referred to as "dee-dee-Mac" for an acronym), NIOC (Navy Intel w/NSA attached, and Marines and Air Force to augment), Signal school for all four branches, amongst many others. I think it's a great base, great town, great atmosphere. Want to know more, just write some specifics!
