Hello everyone!!! I am currently a charge nurse in a level one trauma center and have been working as an ER/Trauma nurse since I graduated in 2013. I have obtained my CEN (Certified Emergency Nurse) this year and am looking at joining the Army. I am wondering if anyone has any insight on the steps involved in joining and about how long it takes to join once you start talking with a recruiter? I would like to continue to work in an ER and since I have my CEN am I guaranteed a position as an ER nurse. What is the training like? Do you find that the advancement in the military is better than that in the civilian work force? Would I get any credit for my years as a civilian nurse? I really appreciate any answers someone has or any advice they have to offer! Thank you!!!!
