Hi, I am interested in Joining the US Navy as an RN. I have experience as a circulating RN and would like to know what a day in the life of a Navy Nurse in the OR looks like. Anything you can tell me about the Navy, as an officer, and in this position will be greatly appreciated. What are the shifts like and how often are you on call? Are there many differences from civilian operating room environments? what would orientation consist of? Positives and negatives from your perspective. Is there still a sign on bonus? Do you get this bonus whenever you re-enlist, do you sign up for 4 year increments? How likely is it to depoly as a circulating nurse, and anything you can tell me about what deploying would be like as a surgical nurse, or if you have any personal stories would be great. How likely is it to be accepted for the DUINS education program? Im sure this is pretty competative program. Thank you so much for your time and any information you can provide me.
