When you say Kaiser and Sutter have a residency program, what do you mean by that?

Sorry ROTC maybe? The recruiter told me they do not take many nurses from outside and told me to go reserves.

Yes I have spoke with the Air Force AMEDD recruiter, he has answered the questions but being prior service I am very skeptical of what is said. I was just looking more for the opinions of people who have been through it. Army said that most come from the academy and I've tried to reach the Navy but have been unable to reach.

My name is Nick, and I am a prior service Marine. I am currently in an Accelerated BSN program, I graduate in August 2017. I still want to serve in the military but my MOS as an Anti-Tank Missileman, 0352, does not coordinate with my nursing degree. I also have an Associate of Arts and a Bachelor of Science in Organizational Supervision. I know there is other threads on this topic but most seem to be out dated and not many pertain to prior service. I have been in contact with a recruiter and he has been very helpful. I just want to here more it from a person who has actually been in my position. I do not plan on doing any type of Nursing Transition program I want to see the civilian side of healthcare before active duty military. I still want to serve but other reasons is for continued education and loan repayment would be nice. Deployments do not bother and most likely would welcome a few. I feel its easiest to just list a few of my questions rather than type in other information.[/COLOR][/font] 1. Ive heard that most first duty stations are not overseas, is this still true? 2. What is a daily week like for a nurse? 3. What are opportunities for educational repay as well as future education and bonuses? Read that will only get one as it cancels out others. 4. Which branch is best for nurses in your opinion and why? 5. When looking for jobs in the civilian side what would be the best field to get in to help support my military career? (I enjoy all fields in their own aspects) That is all i have for now thanks everyone!

i have not looked extensively in to other branches. As i stated earlier i still want to serve but I also want to attend further schooling as well as some loan repayment would be looked for. I went to the Air Force as my grandfather served in it and the recruiter I spoke with was the most hopeful. Im reading more about the Navy having a decent program and offer quite a few incentives. Does any one have input on the differences amongst the branches (and benefit options) as all I have is my grunt knowledge in the USMC to go off...

Would my prior service give me a little more pull to try and get to Europe or elsewhere? 2. Being prior service infantry I have thought of trying out Special Forces, is this an opportunity or option personally seen by any one? 3. What is a daily week like for a nurse? 4. What are opportunities for educational repay as well as future education and bonuses? Read that will only get one as it cancels out others. That is all i have for now thanks everyone!
