Army Nurses: Where are the best hospitals?

[nrryan]

I am trying to determine where I want to go for NSTP (Nurse Summer Training Program), and I am able to choose from any Army hospital, including overseas. I have to rank my top 5 locations and I wanted to get some advice on which places would be best! I am really interested in going somewhere out of the country (or at least the continental US), so I was thinking Landstuhl or Tripler. Anyone have any other suggestions? Thanks!

I would choose a MEDCEN over a MEDDAC since they are bigger and will expose you to more type of patients.

I agree with jeckrn. With that being said, my ROTC cadet had a great time working in the ER with me this summer. Shoot for a MEDCEN, but a MEDDAC will still likely give you some good experience.
