That for the first 18 months you are assigned to various floors for a given amount of time. example like one month here, then the next two months there. (again remember i said she wasn't able to fully give me accurate information, I'm trying to contact another naval recruiter). From what I have read and spoken to army/air force automatically start their new nurses on med/ surg. So I've been really confused ha.

Like I said, everything is dependent on the Navys' (or any branch for a matter of fact) needs.To help you in choosing a branch, I think you should look at the branches outside of a nursing perspective.

It's been a very long month working on this application and doing nursing school orientation at the same time, but I'm done!Does anyone have confirmation on when boards will meet? I know it's 30-90 days after boards meet that I'll get the decision back.
