Navy nursing?

Hi all, I have been trying to find some information on navy nursing(for RNs with some experience). What exactly do navy nurses do? How do they get trained- do they re-teach you nursing skills or expect you to know everything and stick you somewhere? And any more general information would be great. All the information given seems so confusing on the navy nursing website.

    I was going to join the navy nurse corps when I graduated. I should have but I had a boyfriend at the time which persuaded me not to. Bad move cuz he's not around anymore! If you're single with no kids and under 35 which is their cut off age to join I believe, I'd say go for it! You get the GI bill which will help u get your masters and you'll get a job anywhere just for having military experience.

    I already moved this thread to the Military Nursing forum. :)

    I tried applying for navy 2 years in a row. They dont have very many slots right now.. I know for med-surg nurses they had something like 5 slots and wanted 5 years experience... its dismal. Contact a Navy Healthcare Recruiter to find out numbers and if your goal is serving, check out the other branches too. At the end of the day, we are all on the same team! I applied for the Army and am anxiously awaiting news!
