   Wharton: If you are ready for the family practice clinic and taking care of family members and retirees, the army has just a place for you in the active duty army. As a reservist, you are going to deploy as a FNP and that is pretty much it. Orthopod ...

3. ICU nurse interested in going Army

   armyfnp72 replied to Cardiothoracic's topic in Government

   I am reading a lot of posts about what people want out of the army. The problem is, 'you' as an individual does not exist in the army. The army has a mission, you are to support their mission, not yours. Once you understand that, you'll be fine. Do...

4. oblc and army residency program: advice please

   armyfnp72 replied to nebnurse's topic in Government

   As I just finish my last year of my ADOS, I will say that as long as you say nothing and do what others around you do, you'll be fine. The people who were in ROTC will provide a lot of comic relief. The prior service folks provide you with a look int...

6. ARMY Critical Care Nursing full?????

   armyfnp72 replied to ICU24's topic in Government

   At this time the army nurse corps is what they call 'fat and happy'. They don't need anymore RNs. So not only are they not recruiting new RNs, but they treat their current ones like crap.

7. Army RN deployments?

   If you want to go back in the army as an officer, I'd recommend PA school. You will find army nursing to be a very frustrating process.

   I would strongly advise you to not enter the Army. I will say that I was in a similar situation that you were in. The army nurse corps in nearly 100% contentious, backstabbing, and sorority-minded *. They will look down on you that you went from a A...

   I was stationed in Germany in the 1990's. It was a great experience. I would get locked into an overseas assignment: Germany, Korea, Hawaii...etc. Then, here is the important part, get out of the Army. Do your initial 3 year commitment then take y...

    armyfnp72 replied to Lunah's topic in Government

    Army Nurses eat their young... good luck. Your Retired army officer step father experienced an Army that is totally different from what your experience will be. As a former enlisted 11B, now 66P, the AMEDD leaves me with a huge headache when I compar...
