Hi, General question about nurisng licensure- do they ask what medications you are currently taking? I currently take an antidepressant and already found out that the military can reject you for that- can the state boards also deny me a license because I take an antidepressant? I will be graduating in August and if I need to stop taking it, then I guess I will stop taking it. Thanks! Chandra

Hi Everyone, I was recently accepted into an accelerated nursing program (BSN)- which is only a year long, and I need to make the big decision on whether to be a Navy or civilian nurse. I served as a Supply Corps officer for 5 years, so I know what the Navy is all about. Being a suppo on a ship and parts and warehousing just really weren't my cup of tea, so I got out in 04. My question is for Navy nurses out there, how would you rate your job satisfaction? Are you glad you became a Navy nurse? What would you say are the major pros or cons? What is the latest word on Iraq tours (how often, how long)? I know about all the monetary benefits, retirement etc. but want I want to know is- do Navy nurses like their jobs? If you could do it all over again would you go Navy or stay civilian? Thanks!
