check out the military forum! there are few army rns on there.

here is the website for the army reserves. http://www.goarmy.com/amedd/nurse/index.jsp

don't forget to check out the national guard also depending on the state the benefits can actually be quite a bit better.

Hello Sal B:

What specific questions do you have regarding the Army Reserve Nurse Corps? I have been with the Reserves for over two years and have my packet before the Board (I am going AC). I went into the ARNC "late in life" but I must say if you DO have questions the best person to answer you is a Healthcare Recruiter in your home state.

Best of luck to you,

athena

Hi Athena-

This is a little bit off the subject but I notice that you are a fellow islander (SI).

I am going to graduate this May and am also considering the reserves. I am just wondering where you do your training?

Also, any information you can offer in regards to your experiences in the reserves (likes and dislikes) would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Jaime
