   Tommy, As you have been in the Navy before I am sure you know there is no guarantee that you will be placed into a critical care unit your first year as a Navy Nurse. Just about everyone has to do time in a general ward such as Med-Surg or Mother-Bab...

   Navy Nurse here. I have been in the Navy for nearly 4 years and even though the "red tape" can get frustrating - I can't imagine going back to civilian nursing. I started out on a med-surg ward and after only 5 months went to the ICU here at Camp Lej...
