I was searching online for info such as this for quite a while, but this is the best. Very interesting read, thank you í ½í¸

I would prefer it if serving my country and building a resume (possibly political) were not mutually exclusive. I see many personal benefits in joining and serving in the military, but of course I also put a lot of thought as to where it would lead my career in 8 or 20 years. PixieRN, could you possibly elaborate on the RNs you know in local and federal government? Or do you mean you just know that there are jobs in that field in general? As always, Thanks for your input :)

Hey all, I'm a recent young nursing graduate (ADN), and I have been considering a career in military nursing at some point. Being an openly gay male and not necessarily being your most masculine man on the planet (but not necessarily feminine either), what kind of acceptance or tolerance do you think I would receive in the military?? I am aware that the environment has changed over the last couple years, but I still worry about situations that my sexual orientation could put me in. Any and all input/experience you could share with me would be appreciated.

Hey all, Im a recent 25 yo male nursing graduate (ADN) and I'm currently studying for the NCLEX to take next month. I don't have any history of working in the medical field at this point (aside from nursing rotations at various hospitals during my program). I've recently begun thinking about a career in military nursing. I know I'd be starting as an officer if I were to accepted into the National Guard, and I have heard of New Grad* programs. But I would need a BSN (and experience, in some cases) to get accepted into the Navy or Army, correct? And my last question: As an officer within the military, that would add quite a degree of clout to my resume for most other future careers, correct? but would it be possible for say 6+ years as an officer (via nursing) in the military to lead to a future career in the field of politics? Jusr weighing my options, as I see quite a few prominent politicians come from military backgrounds. Many thanks to your input, advice, and opinion in advance. Any and all experience on this matter would be appreciated. - California nursing grad
