I still have a year and a half before graduating with my BSN in nursing and I'm considering joining the military after graduation/passing the NCLEX. I have many reasons I would like to join and even though I've had family members who have served (none being nurses), I do not HAVE to be in one branch versus another. So my main question is what are the big differences between branches as a nurse officer? If you are a nurse officer can you tell me more about your experience? I am very interested in pediatrics...is it harder to get into that? I'm sure you need to work a year or two before entering right? When would I start the application process? Any tips/advice for me? Thank you!

I just accepted a position at Duke University Hospital as a PNA Summer Intern and I'm stupid excited!! I noticed a lot of feeds about who got in the program but nothing about advice/how your experience was with the program... How was your experience? Any advice you think future PNA's should hear before their first day? What did you do about your living situation? Also...I heard you buy your own scrubs (haven't had to do that before...so I was wondering what your preferences are/where you buy them?) Thanks in advance and I look forward to meeting everyone who got in the program for this summer!
