  1. Physical requirements to be a Navy nurse

    MCHnurse replied to NavyCheerGirl's topic in Government, Military

    Thanks Gen! I've been following your journey and it seems that a little persistence and patience does pay off! My application went up for review almost three weeks ago and still no word. My...

  2. Physical requirements to be a Navy nurse

    MCHnurse replied to NavyCheerGirl's topic in Government, Military

    I have astigmatism in both eyes AND failed the eye exam miserably. I went to the doctor, had my prescription updated and now have almost 20/20 when I'm wearing my glasses/contacts. My recruiter said...

  3. Male/NAVY/RN

    MCHnurse replied to MaleRNstudent21's topic in Government, Military

    Here is something I can speak to! I have done tons of research about pay because I wanted to be sure that I was getting comparable pay to civilian nursing. Depending on where you live, RN pay...

  4. Male/NAVY/RN

    MCHnurse replied to MaleRNstudent21's topic in Government, Military

    I completely agree with navynurse06! You have positioned yourself well to be accepted to nursing school (because it sounds like you are finishing prereqs so I'm assuming you'll be applying soon)....

  5. Rank upon entry

    MCHnurse replied to KAINETX's topic in Government, Military

    Actually, it depends on your experience in this case as well. For those like myself who complete a "bridge" MSN program (where you have a BS in something other than nursing but have an MSN), starting...

  6. Questions for new Navy nurses

    MCHnurse replied to MCHnurse's topic in Government, Military

    ENS PM, Glad to have your response...even if you aren't LCDR Dan! Are all the classes you take in lieu of working a shift, or do you maintain your schedule in addition to your training days? The unit...

  7. Questions for new Navy nurses

    MCHnurse replied to MCHnurse's topic in Government, Military

    LCDR Dan, Once again, thank you. Since you seem to be the man with all the right answers, I'm just going to keep asking questions until I bottom out. What kind of activities/training is done to...

  8. Questions for new Navy nurses

    MCHnurse replied to MCHnurse's topic in Government, Military

    LCDR Dan, Thanks for setting the record straight! I suppose my misunderstanding of your posts caused me a little unnecessary anxiety. I am so scared by people's comments about "lies" that they were...

  9. Questions for new Navy nurses

    MCHnurse replied to MCHnurse's topic in Government, Military

    Hi Gen, I think I may need to clarify my comment as it was a little confusing. The nurses on this board are saying "the Navy is getting rid of Navy OB nurses." However the nurses I interviewed with...

  10. Questions for new Navy nurses

    MCHnurse replied to MCHnurse's topic in Government, Military

    I, too, appreciate your comments to Marcie. Her question actually made me think about another thread that I've seen here re: the reduced number of OB nurses being used in the Navy. Strangely enough,...

  11. Questions for new Navy nurses

    MCHnurse replied to MCHnurse's topic in Government, Military

    Okay Navy nurses, I have more questions now.... I went to Portsmouth, VA a little over a week ago to complete my interviews. It was a super quick trip from Texas to Virginia and I only had two hours...

  12. Questions for new Navy nurses

    MCHnurse replied to MCHnurse's topic in Government, Military

    Dan, I am very excited to hear your take on Navy nursing. I have spoken to nurses in other branches of the military and they have said the same--more respect and less drama. My short-lived...

    MCHnurse replied to MCHnurse's topic in Government, Military

    Thanks again navynurse06, your input is much appreciated. If any other Navy nurses out there have comments, suggestions, etc. I'd love to hear them. The more information I get the better. I go for...

  14. Questions for new Navy nurses

    MCHnurse replied to MCHnurse's topic in Government, Military

    navynurse06, Thanks so much for your input. That info is very helpful. I did suspect that I would be placed where the Navy has the most need. I'm fine with that, it's just nice to know that I have...
