    Hi, Is the question you are asking if you should quit your job, drop out of school and join the Navy now, before completing your BSN? Or are you asking if there are male RNs in the Navy? What I would...

    Which branch is better for nursing?

    Hi Holly, I didn't mention that I wanted to do both because the way it was written is that it is an either OR option. However, the way that it is written also leans heavily towards suggesting that...

    ROTC Questions

    Hoorah Diane, Although I do not think I can officially type "hoorah" yet! :) The moment I know when my OBC is, (after signing the contract and taking the oath) I will post it here with balloons and...
  5. Hello, This has not been my experience, I have been fortunate to have only witnessed recruiters in action who have integrity. Gen-caring not to smear our fellow

    Which branch is better for nursing?

    Hello again, In order to qualify for the ER or community health training I had to officially and formally "waive" my right to the generic course program which trains for ICU and so on. This will not...

    Hi there, Do you mean deployment or base assignment or was your fist base assingment a deployment? ? I have my base preference list and realize that it is just a wish list and that I may be assigned...

    Hello, Holey cow Athena...looks like I'd better find a foster for my cats much sooner as this is a lot of moving around!...Your home base is NY yet you are assisgned at Fort Dix, yet you are at Staten...

  15. Much appreciation,

    Hi, Glad to read this because I opted out of the general course program, (I read that if a person was interested in the ER or community health training that they had to opt out of the general course...

    Is it really possible??

    Hi, Maybe this is too simple but, why not call the person who told you to look at that pay scale and ask "where do I find it?"
