Default Go Army
Hello all, nice to see such varied responses. I think joining the army is one of the best things an aggressive, new RN grad can do, and the pay is pretty good.
Thanks for the forum.

Default Great Support
It has been a little while since I have checked on this thread, but it is nice to see so many military and VA nurses participating. Let's keep the role call going and get a few more people who we have not heard from on board here.

Default Army Nurse
I am a 46 year old OB nurse who joined the Army 2.5 years ago after 9/11. It has been an interesting experience to say the least. It isn't a career for me but I am extending an extra year. I was deployed at the beginning of the war and worked asa med/surg nurse for the first time EVER. I had not taken care of men since nursing school so that was enlightening. Even though there are days that I don't think I can take it anymore, I wouldn't trade this experience for nothing.

Hey, CPT Ison here, PROFIS to the 115th and deployed in the first round to Kuwait. Hope you all are being good over there. Did you go with us? I'm trying to place who you might be.

Default would like more info on CRNA and VA program

This is the first year it has been done. I am getting a little view into the world that my patients have experienced. So I guess you could say that I am mostly VA with a little Military thrown into the mix. I enjoy working for the VA and I would not be in such a wonderful transition in my life if it was not for them!
This sounds really good there vaRN, do you know if they have anything like this in the northeast. Is it 30mths full-time or did you cont to work f/t? Do they offer a MSN program? I always wanted to learn from the military heard it was the best education you could have. So interested..let me know thanks by the way I live in NYC

Hello to all in this forum, I just finished my paperwork for joining the Air Force Reserve as a critical care nurse. My AF Reserve recruiter says that the final part of the process should take between 30 to 60 days to complete. I have to say it has been a unique journey, reviewing the different branches, but I finally can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Stats are ICU nurse, ACLS, PALS, ENPC, TNCC , currently studying for my CCRN which I am hoping to take the test in the next 30 days or so with aspirations to become a CRNA next. Jake
