Wanting to go to Germany

Published

I've just begun to research the possibility of either joining the army or air force nurse corps. I have 9 years of nursing experience with an ADN and will complete my BSN in December. I want to retire in the military and my goal is to make it to Germany. My uncle is retired Air Force and I fell in love with the area when my family visisted him when I was younger. What are the chances I could ever get there as a nurse? Most of my experience is in a float pool and then management. I would quit my job today and pick a speciality if I knew it could get me to Germany. Can anyone in the service give me some information or advice??

Your chances are good, it all depends on the need at the time you are up for orders.

It's really hard to say how likely you will be to get Germany. Where you are stationed at the time all depends on what the Air Force/Army needs at the time. There are definitely locations in Germany that both the Air Force and Army place nurses though. I have been fortunate enough to get stationed in England, where I am now.
