Any Military Spouses Out There!?

Published

Hello,

Being a military spouse we move about every three years (if we are lucky, it is usually less then that). I have not graduated nursing school yet and was wondering what type of problems (if any) being a military spouse will cause me while trying to develop a career as a nurse.

Thank you for your help!

Another military wife here. I was fortunate enough that on my dh's first duty station, we stayed put for four years. Enough time for me to complete nursing school. Due to the constant moves, a large family and potential deployments, I chose to stay at home. I did work for 1 1/2 years at our last duty station. My original state of licensure is CA. My license has always been current . Now, that we are approaching retirement, I plan to go to work. My kids are approaching college age ....time for me to go to work to pay for college.

I have been around military wives (RN's) that have chosen to work, and those that have made the choice to stay at home. Both have been successful. Military spouses have a challenging lifestyle. But we survive :)
