Hi, I am interested in join the military to be a nurse. Yet, i am not exactly sure what branch . I'm stuck between the Army & Navy . Do anyone think they can give me any advice ?

Are you already a registered nurse with a BSN? Have you spoken with a healthcare recruiter?

As Justbeachy stated you need to contact a healthcare recruiter not your local enlisted recruiter. Go to their recruitment websites and there should be contact info. Since the services are at or above strength for nursing it might take a couple of months for them to get back to you. Each service has its pros and cons and that is one reason you need to speak with a healthcare recruiter to see which service is the best fit for you. They each have there own requirements for new and experienced RN' s. But one that they all have is that you must have your BSN.
