Hi there and welcome.

Just a word of advice regarding your military bennies: my husband is retired Air Force (23 years). Don't think Tricare is the answer to everything. Believe me, you want a primary insurance. Unless you have a service-connected disability, be aware that though you can REGISTER with the VA, you can not use their services except for pharmacy (and that is often space-A).

I'm also a vet but hubs and I make way too much to even be considered for VA care.

Don't dismiss benefits....best wishes finding what you want.

Agree with the statement about Tricare. At first it was excellent value for the premium, but when I relocated about ten years ago, it turned to feces. Now I pay the premium. and get nothing in return except I managed to keep my prescriptions renewed.

1. If I were you I would work in locum tenens so you can travel to different parts of the country and work in various clinical settings, since you aren't tied down anywhere in particular.

2. If you are looking for the perm route I would definitely choose Washington state (not VA though) as the pay is pretty good and they have full practice authority for NP's. They also have tons of jobs available. I have some connections in WA so let me know.

Hope you are doing well and having a great time in your new adventures. I would love to be free and go anywhere!! JK i love my child and hubby. Anyways I do get these random emails about Jobs in Dubai at this private funded hospital they are heavily recruiting in the US I always kick around calling about the job just to check it out. The owners are tying to create the best medical care in the world. I know a teacher from the US that teaches near Dubai and loves it!
