@HBaum I passed the physical it wasn;t as bad as expected. I am glad its over. I wish you nothing but success.

The Navy. My husband is AD Navy and he is saying the same thing. What branch did you apply for?

@ HBaum thank you for you response. I go in the morning and pray that all goes well. I will let everyone know sometime tomorrow. I have been so nervous all day today. I am just ready to get it over with. I hope I have a good experience like you.

@ LunahRN LOL. This will be some great conversation.

@midinphx thank you for preparing me for the details. I would have been caught off guard with someone watching me voiding. lol

Thank you so much.

I am going to do my physical soon and I wanted to know what to expect. Thanks in advance.

@traumaRUs My husband is active duty. My mom has agreed to go wherever I am stationed and she is truly a huge help. Do you regret joining and how many children do you have?

@midinphx I truly appreciate your response. My oldest child will be 12 this year and my youngest is two. I am a mother of four and my husband is military also. I feel that all of the benefits will outweigh everything, but just concerned about the kids. I have always wanted to be a nurse in the military and have been pursuing this dream for approx three years. Now that it is getting close I just want to make sure I am doing the right thing, but it seems like I won't know until I do it. Did you join with kids?

I am in the process of joining the military and I have children. I just want to know what is it like with having children and being in the military as a nurse?

I am feeling the same way. I don't know what I am going to do. I am not a quitter, but I am not really happy as I thought I would be.

This was very helpful. Thank you very much.

I am planning on submitting my application this year. I am curious on what to expect as a Navy Nurse. Is working in the hospital on a Naval base similar as the civilian world? Meaning do they do 12 hour shifts? Also how many times have you been deployed in your career? Thank you for starting this discussion.

@cmo701 I live in Florida. I am planning to take 2 classes. How about you?

@lishahb13 I am also starting October 24.
