Navy Nursing Orders question

Published

Hello All,

I am currently applying for an Accelerated BSN program and am thinking about becoming a Navy nurse. My husband is also in the Navy and is currently in flight school.

Does anyone out there have any info/experience about getting orders to the same locations?

Thanks a lot!!!!

Take a look on this first page of the forum, about 1/2 way down there's a thread titled "Thinking of joining the Navy as a nurse...?" by Wheaties. I answered just this same question there, read the thread and see what you think. PLease, if you have more questions, let me know.

I want to wish you luck. I also want to be realistic. Yes, the Navy with TRY to keep you together. However, the needs of the NAVY take precedence over what YOU may want.

Sign me....separated when we were both active duty!
