Civilian Federal Nursing Job????

Published

Hi, about a year ago I was on allnurses reading through blogs about military nurses overseas and I stumbled across a post about Federal nursing jobs. The blog was about being a federal nurse where you are a civilian and during the most part of the year you work in a community healthcare agency in small rural areas that desperately need nurses and when there is a national disaster you are deployed out to help (only 14 days at a time though). The blog also stated you have to join before age of 41, i think, and after 20 years you retire with full military benefits. I have searched and searched for this blog, I remember the Federal program was initials(like maybe... FNE, or FIN, or something like that). Does anyone know what I am talking about???? Please help.....:o

Thank you....

There is the US Public Health Commissioned Corps, but you are commissioned not civilian. It does sound similar though, you get a job through US Jobs and can be deployed for national emergencies. Is that what you were thinking of? http://www.usphs.gov

Thank you so much!! That was what I was looking for. I was mistaken in thinking it was civilian.
