What's it like being a Navy Nurse?
How much control do you have over your work schedule? How many shifts a week/month do you work? 12 hour shifts only? Do you alternate between night and day shifts? Is your pay hourly or salary? Do you have to work overtime or on-call? How much down-time do you have as a Navy nurse?
How long are you stationed in one place/what is a typical length of tour/billet? When do you get to travel overseas? Does the work compare to civilian jobs or are you a vaccination machine?
What kind of opportunities to advance your career do you have?
Can you change units or specialties? How competitive is it to become a critical care Navy nurse? Will the Navy pay for you to get your Masters as an NP or a CRNA?
As a new nurse entering the Navy, what kind of additional support/mentoring/training will be available to me while I am still new and learning? Are new nurses welcomed by other navy nurses?
