Army nurse looking for a change......

[kjwestm6]

I am an LPN who has worked in an LTC for 7 years while also being in the army reserves, I recently just returned from deployment and have started back the cycle of civilian life. I love my LTC job but now I find it not to be stimulating enough as a nurse and at times makeing me question about my career choice. I love nursing but as an LPN getting out of the standard nursing role seems too difficult especially in a smaller town. I plan on getting my RN eventually just not now. Any one have recomendations for nursing in a different setting? Also i would like to hear how other military nurses integrated back to a civilian professionally and personally. I have considered going AGR as unit support for a change in scenery but not sure how to go about it.

Need to speak with a AGR recruiter and put in your packet. Do a online search about the AGR and you should find some info. Also go to HRC's website and look around, there should be some info.

Welcome home!

Go for it! I recently was denied admittance into the Army Reserve for 68wm6 and my plan was to go AGR when I got back from training. Take advantage of the opportunity if you have it.
