If you want it and are willing to wait then you will get it. Just a matter of time. Don't be fooled into doing something and cross rating over. The rate is over manned and the advancement rate is low. If you make it clear to your recruiter they will ...

Fmf means you've been with the marines and passed the requirements for the device. They have taskers for er, icu and medsurge nurses. In addition to that I've seen APu/pacu and labor and delivery nurses fill the med surge billets. After your first du...

If you're worried about deploying don't join. Nothing is a guarantee. Also it's an honor and privilege to deploy. If you don't see it like that then maybe the service isn't for you.

Make sure she is looking on usajobs.gov for gs positions or monster for the contract. Gs she will get spouse preferred. Also why not just go to the floors and talk to the division officers at your command?

You're a LTJG and you don't have pals, tncc or acls? You have to show initiative to be taken serious.

Any icu experience counts for usuhs. They use to take pacu ob and er. Keep your head up atleast your not at one of the commands losing their icu and er....

All depends on the tasker. I've seen taskers go from 6 months to 396 days.

New nurses go anywhere. Okinawa, Pensacola, 69 palms you name it. There are nursing deployments to those two, dijibuti and if your assigned to ship 02to04 wherever they go.

A few keep coming back saying it's cheaper. I just don't understand why people think tri care will be any different than other insurance companies.

The military decides so many things we do. How are you surprised tri care wouldn't do the same?

When you checked into your command and stopped by tricare they give you a card with that information.

Why didn't you call the tricare number to find out where you can obtain care? Also I know a few civilians that come to our ER because it is cheaper. If it's not life or death and they provide proof of insurance we treat them. Military ers are cheaper...

Usajobs.gov long process. The people in the unit interview you. Fill out a sheet with basic requirements. Example: rn? Yes or no. Degree yes or no. Good fit? Yes or no. Etc. These are then sent to hr and they pick the hire. Long process. You will get...

I answered in the quotes.

To piggy back on the deployments my buddy wet 6 months in and then was given a week notice for his deployment. Also remember we go everywhere the marines go. If you want to still help your country but not sign your life away become a contractor nurse...

You get your ticket once your recruiter gets a hard copy of your orders to ods.

Navy nurses fight to be on ships. If you don't want to be on a ship never apply and you will be fine.

Joining the military isn't a just a career. It's a lifestyle. Long days no overtime. You have your nursing hours then collateral duties. Coming in on days off. Last minute deployments. If this sounds fun to you talk to recruiters or nurses in each br...

In the navy corpsman are under a chain of command of corpsman. However these corpsman can work in a clinic, manpower or on the ward. With rank you get farther away from the bedside (enlisted and officer) so yes hm2 may not have touched a pt in 8 year...

Few things its not MOS in navy it's called your rate(job). If this is your dream why are you giving up so quickly? There are so many ways to nurse corps. Get your grades up. And do Ncp or direct commission. If that doesn't work and you decide to enli...

Don't listen to these people saying if you don't want to enlist don't come in. First of all Ncp doesn't go to boot camp. You go to ods which is where you learn how to put on your uniform. Second you get 34,000 over 2 years.(last 2 years of nursing). ...

UWFSN, That is not 100% true. The corpsman are trained to do most of everything however what they do is up to you. On my floor it is myself and a corpsman tasked to 3-6 patients. As a new grad these corpsman may know more than you and they are a ver...

Navy hospitals hire civilians check usajobs.com. Gs job would be great because they will help you find a new job when he pcs.

Pensacola is not a huge hospital accepts few trauma. Nothing serious.

Like they said follow protocol. Whenever I break that due to judgement I let doc know and document it. Our protocol says to treat with d50 only if unresponsive. Otherwise orally. Could be a chance for you to bring it up to the committee to change it.
