Would you join the Army Nurse Corps? Why or Why not?

[clc19k30]

Hey all,

Yes If you look at my profile I am a Nurse Recruiter for the Army. I am also an Army Nurse. I joined back in 1987 to get out of my home state and to see the world. I have done that, but I meander. Anyways I am now recruiting nurses and it is hard!!!!! I need a pulse of the feelings of the non-military nurses out there SO

The question is this:

If I offered would you join the Army Nurse Corps? Why or Why Not?

Yes

I am planning to submit my packet for this upcoming board, if you have any suggestions please feel free to email me.

Thanks,

I'd join tomorrow, but I've had a hip replacement, which I was told was non-waiverable

I actually looked into it when I was younger and was told that I was "too nice too look at" and would end up probably harassed all the time.

This from a friend who was in the army at the time.

Doesn't one have to be an RN to join the Army Nurse Corps? I'm an LPN and though I have a BS in another field and therefore would be in officer training, it seems to me that the Army most likely only hires RNs.anyone know any different? That said, I would imagine that I'm too old (at nearly 51) to join even if I wanted to....isn't there an age limit also?

I would love to join the Army and apply to their anesthesia program. However, they will not accept me because I have AD/HD and I am medicated. Too bad, because I am otherwise healthy... guess I would probably run off and set off a land mine or something since I can't focus (being facetious). Their loss.
