Potential Army Nurse

Specialties Government

Published

Hi all,

I am currently gathering all my materials for my application to the army nurse corps. I was told by my recruiter that there are 9 locations that they send new RN's. I was wondering if anyone had any useful info or insight into the different locations. I have no idea where I would want to go, possibly NC or Texas?? I will be med/surg for at least a year there, so specialty areas are not really my concern as of now. I am from MA and have never lived anywhere else, so all of these places will be a big change. Any info will help! Thanks!!

Boston,

You can use this map -

click the different regions and look for the 'med centers' those are the first duty station choices for you.... even though you will be a med/surg you are still able to submit a specialty course guarantee so in several years you will be able to attend a specialty course in either ICU, Psch, obgyn, or OR - so if any of those interest you I'd keep that in mind to lock it down now... as later on (during your med/surg years) you could likely alter the course with your chain of commands help... also keep in mind that the course guarantee requires that you are CONUS for first duty station... if that is still the case HI and DE would not be good first duty stations...

OB Course in in HI... so would the CONUS stipulation hold true for that course selection? Would save the expense of a move... just wondering.
