Help!!! New grad military spouse

[Valley_girl1021]

So my husband is in the army and he just got a list of duty stations that he could choose from to get stationed in next year. From the list is seems like we will most likely be getting stationed in Germany (I forget the name of the base but I think it has like 35,000 soldiers on it). I just recently passed my NCLEX in MD and I’m finishing up my bachelors degree and will graduate in June. My husband will most likely be going to Germany in October of 2020 and it will be for 3 years. I have so many questions when it comes to starting and maintaining my career as a nurse. What are the chances I’m able to get a job as a new grad in Germany? If I decided to follow my husband and wasn’t able to find a RN job for those 3 years what would happen to my license and how would it be trying to start my career when we return to the states? Should I just stay in the states and gain experience while continuing to look for jobs in Germany in hopes of being able to eventually reunite with my husband? I’m just so confused on what I even possibly want to do since I don’t even know my options and I don’t even know who to go to on base to get answers other than this forum so I can make an educated decision. I don’t want to separate from my husband (especially for 3 years!) but it’s starting to feel like that’s my only option if I want to get my career as a nurse started. Any advice would be great!

I've seen a lot of travel nursing opportunities in Ireland, just FYI. I've read that the process to transition a US nursing license to that country is smoother since their licensing style is similar to ours.

I have not experienced this, just read. I considered doing this when I was younger but not now. But, if it works out for your, at least it'd be easier to travel between Ireland and Germany rather than having to cross the pond.

ETA: You'd still have to have at least 1-2 years experience already.
