  1. Navy NCP Question!

  2. Navy NCP Question!

    DanznRN replied to Kawain's topic in Government, Military

  5. Military Nurse Pay and CRNA Question????

    DanznRN replied to Kawain's topic in Government, Military

    Since you were in for 3 years, you know how the pay chart works. Go to military.com and you can get the most recent one. Your rank would be O-1E which is significantly higher than a regular O-1....

    DanznRN replied to et2brn's topic in Government, Military

  13. ATTN: Military Nurses...Help!

    DanznRN replied to et2brn's topic in Government, Military

  17. Longest at one base

    DanznRN replied to NursePamela's topic in Government, Military

    What do you mean "true to our heritage, nurses hate each other." Speak for yourself, married to another nurse and love her to death. Anyway, thanks for clearing up the whole homesteading thing,...

  18. Air Force or Navy??

    DanznRN replied to doo730's topic in Government, Military

    Peddler- Allow me to enlighten you. Contrary to your belief Navy nurses do not get deployed with the amenities of home nor do we just sit on a ship. If there's a Marine in the field, there's a Navy...

  20. Air Force or Navy??

    DanznRN replied to doo730's topic in Government, Military

    WTBCRNA answered some of your questions, but I have this to add. He is right about the contract thing. Do an Internet search for Soldiers and Sailors Act, it is the actual law that will get you out...

    DanznRN replied to TopazLPN's topic in Government, Military

    DanznRN replied to jen2190's topic in Government, Military

    It all depends on what you want. If you want to go Active Duty and be an RN then it's college for your BSN for the Navy. If you want to go the LPN route the Army will take you, but that's an...

    DanznRN replied to NursePamela's topic in Government, Military
