NAVYNURSE1977, Thank you for the truth and heads up, a 19 year Ensign is a bit hard to swallow. I am at the credit level right now, being an ET we get a lot of credit for what we have done. Just not sure if it is where I need it to be. This is a gut check and will need to keep this in the fore front of my decision.

Hello All, I am a 32 year old male that has been in a pretty active 14 year career in the US Navy as an Electronics Technician. But, it seems as though it is just a bunch of puppets in a show run by a couple of third graders with a bad sence of humor. I am looking for a career change and have noticed in my 14 years I have only really hung out with the Corpman and most of my friends are either in the Medical Profession or are Corpmen. So with that said, it only seemed natural for me to try and become a medical professional myself. And with Uncle Sam footing the bill for school Nursing was the best option for me to get into the field. Now for the questions: 1) What duties as a Navy Nurse can I look at getting into (I know there is a myriad of types of nurses, but what will the Navy offer.) 2) How complicated is the package that I have to fill out and submit? 3) I have read many of the posts here and they all mention volunteering at the Hospitals, but where do you begin with that task. Who can I contact? 4) Are you all satisfied with your career choices and why? Electronics has left me very unsatisfied and unfulfilled. I want to make a difference for not everyone but someone. Thank you, Stu
