First let me qualify my remarks, I am not a Navy nurse, I am a nursing student going into my last year of an ADN program. However, in my first career I was a Marine, ergo I was around Navy nurses, doctors, and corpsman in peacetime, and sadly in two armed conflicts.(the Navy provides the Marines all medical and Chaplain support). Try this website: Carry Your Nursing Career Further in the US Navy Nurse Corps : Navy.com Personally, I would give anything to be young enough to go back in as a Navy nurse. If you want excitement, adventure, travel, personal and professional growth, and to work with a medical corps second to none, then look into the Navy. You also need to have the willingness to serve your country and to go into harms way. I retired from the Marine Corps many years ago, I envy those that still serve our country. I wish you luck in your future endeavors.
