Has anyone worked for the military as a civilian nurse?

What was your experiance? I am specifically interested in anyone's experiances overseas? Did you take a family with you? Did the experiance help build your skills or was it totaly different than working stateside in the public/private sector?

Thanks for any insight. I'm just thinking about the future :rolleyes:

I worked to Second General Hospital in Landsthul, Germany and had a wonderful experience. I thought everything would be very uptight, but found the focus was getting the patients taken care of...period.I highly recommend it if you can get a job.

"if you can get a job." --how do you get the job? DOD? Can you give us some details about living quarters, transportation, hours, their needs?

Thanks!!
