  2. Roll Call for all Military and VA Nurses and those considering the Service

    CPT_Jana replied to RNPATL's topic in Government, Military

    That makes sense now! If it were me, I'd choose Germany (for what it is

  3. Roll Call for all Military and VA Nurses and those considering the Service

    CPT_Jana replied to RNPATL's topic in Government, Military

    I'm confused - are you joining the Reserves or Active component? I guess I've not known Reservists to select an Active Duty unit/location of assignment. Generally they join a Reserve unit/CSH with...

  4. Could someone Point the way?

    CPT_Jana replied to heinerdude's topic in Government, Military

    Also, make sure you speak with a "health professions" recruiter. There is a difference! They are focused on recruitment of nurses, physicians, etc and know the unique ins and outs of medical officer...

    CPT_Jana replied to RedSoxRN's topic in Government, Military

    I went through school as an Army ROTC cadet. My school was paid for by a scholarship and I received a stipend (some paltry amount - $100/month, I think it has gone up significantly). However, during...

    Interesting... For Active duty ANC (Army Nurse Corps) officers, the requirement is BSN for commissioning and MSN is a promotion discriminator for LTC

  7. Nobody's ever given me a clear answer on this...

    CPT_Jana replied to RedSoxRN's topic in Government, Military

  8. The Pay - Military vs Civilian

    CPT_Jana replied to NursePamela's topic in Government, Military

    Military nurses are paid base pay (set amount every month that is subject to taxes) as well as an allowance for housing and subsistence (i.e. meals) that is non-taxable. For example, if you were to...

  9. Military vs civilian nursing curicculum?

    CPT_Jana replied to Weebils-Wobble's topic in Government, Military

    There is no military nursing (i.e. BSN producing) program at this time. There have been programs in the past (WRAIN is the one that comes to mind) and I had heard that in light of the global nursing...

    CPT_Jana replied to RedSoxRN's topic in Government, Military

    As a general rule, military nurses do not staff VA facilities. VA facilities are federally operated, so many of their nurses are government employees. Some military training programs (such as those...

  13. The Pay - Military vs Civilian

    CPT_Jana replied to NursePamela's topic in Government, Military

    Thanks Cheerfuldoer! I forgot to mention those intangibles - pension, healthcare/dental, paid vacation, education, travel. I've taken advantage of all (except the pension - that's another 9 years...

  14. The Pay - Military vs Civilian

    CPT_Jana replied to NursePamela's topic in Government, Military

    I would recommend you make your own comparison, since you know what nurses make in your area. Military pay scales are available to the public at http://www.dod.mil/dfas. Go to military pay...

    CPT_Jana replied to adh_09's topic in Government, Military

    I also agree - the military is a wonderful (albeit difficult) way of life! I am a little biased towards the Army, but have respect for my Air Force and Navy medical colleagues.

  17. Burned out and feeling trapped

    CPT_Jana replied to USNRN309's topic in Government, Military

    How often do you PCS in the USN? Seems like in the Army, just when you hit maximal frustration/burn-out, it's time to move again (one of the benefits, I guess). I don't know where you are (location,...

  18. question about military nursing...

    CPT_Jana replied to 3KittiesRN's topic in Government, Military

    Speaking as a veteran of OIF-1, if you do not have a PASSION for taking care of the soldiers, sailors, airmen, and Marines that defend your freedom, military nursing is NOT for you. You cannot expect...
