Thanks for all your help! I'm a new nurse working on a med/surg unit. I've been at the job for 6 months but am interested in joining the military. Wondering if I should gain more experience, 1+ yrs or longer then apply or if it's not necessary and can begin application process now? Also, I know I need to get in better shape. Would you recommend waiting until better physically fit to reach out to a recruiter or is there time in the application process to do that simultaneously?

Hi! Can I ask what made you choose nursing in the navy versus other branches?

Hi! I was looking to join the military as well. Although I'm kind of lost on which one might be best. Can I ask why you chose the navy?

Hello! Has anyone started their nursing career/worked at either Duke Hospital or Bellevue in NYC? I went to nursing school in NY and was set on working there but then I got this opportunity to work at Duke. I'm really torn because I love NY and did rotations at Bellevue so I'm somewhat familiar with it. But Duke would be a new experience and possibly a less chaotic training environment. The pay at Duke is way less than NY, but when factoring in cost of living and expenses, it's almost the same. Any tips/advice would be great! Thanks!
