Hello all- I have a few questions. As of right now, I have my BSN degree and I am working in an ER. I graduated in May with a 3.5 GPA. I'm fulfilling a contract with a local hospital who paid for the majority of my nursing school in order that I would work for them for the two years they paid for my nursing school. My goal, as of right now, is to join the Navy. I have a few obstacles in my way. 1) If I leave the hospital I am currently working for, I will have to pay back the scholarship. I know the Navy says they can pay back loans, but is the Navy capable of paying back this type of loan? 2) How long does the process take to join and get the go ahead to do ODS? And can anyone give me an idea of what ODS is like? My husband went through OCS with the Marines, and I am a little scared after hearing what he went through. I just envision someone screaming in my face 24/7. 3)My husband is an Officer in the Marines. What are the chances that he and I will be stationed together or near each other? I know the Marines are part of the Navy, so that might make it a little easier, due to a Navy hospital being on every Marine Corps base. 4) I know I have not had a full year in the ER, but I assuming by the time I get all the paper work done, I will have reached a full year mark. Would it be possible to go into my specialty area after one year of experience in the civilian sector? Med/surg isn't where my passion lies. Any help someone could give me would be greatly appreciated! darracott6
