I am currently in nursing school and am thinking of joining the Navy nurse candidate program. I am a single mom with a 7year old, and 19 year old. My recruiter told me that the chances of me getting deployed are slim to none, and that I will be placed in San Diego for all 4 required service years, unless I want 1 of the other 3 hospitals that are for new grads. I want to join for a variety of reasons, and actually think it would be nice to go anywhere outside US (almost anywhere), so long as I could bring my daughter. Anyone out there have experience with Navy nursing, and know of actual deployment expectations. Any pro/con info from civilian to military life would be appreciated!

Look at the California board of nursing site, and find the lust of school, and then you need to go through each school and figure out how they slept students to see if you have a good chance or not. Some community colleges are a lottery system so that may be better for your chances. Every school is different on selection
