Naval Hospital Camp Lejeune

[Bnp2660]

Hi all,

I was looking for some insight regarding the application naval hospital camp lejeune in jacksonville, NC. a couple things:

1. do they hire new graduate nurses (I will be graduating in May and am considering applying to Naval Hospital)

2. do they have a preceptorship for new graduate nurses with no nursing experience (internship/preceptorship/something along those lines)

3. do i have to join the nurse corps to get a job there?

4. where do I begin?

ANY INSIGHT WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!

Thank you!

Getting hired at a military treatment facility (MTF) can be easy yet difficult. I would say about say about 95% of the civilian jobs are contracted through agencies so you can stop by HR and they will probably tell you to visit USAjobs.gov or provided you with a list of companies the hospital has contracts with. As for programs like residencies at an MTF i would say they don't exist for civilians but do exist for military personnel, but as a civilian you would receive a brief orientation. No, you do not have to join the military or nurse corps to get a job at an MTF.
