Im looking to go to the Us Navy !?

Question

I would like to know anyone's experience there and I looking to get into nursing.

Answer 1

do you want to be a Nurse( a commissioned Officer) or just get medical experience( enlisted as an HM)?


You must have a FOUR year degree in Nursing. an Associates will NOT cut it.. it MUST be a BSN, then you apply for a Direct Commission in the Medical Corps. there is an EXTREMELY competitive program that would allow you to get your BSN on the Navy's dime, but very few are selected each year.

as a female, your chance of getting HM in your contract is VERY slim. there is little need or slots for females in HM, the need is for Males to go Greenside and serve with Marines in Combat Units.

Answer 2

Nursing would be a great thing for you. If it were me and I could deal with begin a nurse i would go enlisted 1st, upon completing that then I would look into going officer. I was a Marine for 20 yrs and most of the men I came in contact with just seam to have more respect if they knew you was or had been enlisted. Navy and the Marines have the programs for it. But you get a good understanding of the field and how the enlisted feel and when you become and officer you can start making changes(with in your rank).

Answer 3

I just signed up for the Marines and my sister just signed up for the navy. She wanted to be a nurse as well, but didnt get a high enough score on her ASVAB. They told her it is very hard to become a nurse and most of them are males because the navy takes care of the Marines as well. So it is very hard to do and you need to be very smart. She picked a desk job doing paper work and she still gets to travel and have fun.

Answer 4

I fielded this question out to my recruiter, and he said that hospital corpsmen were overstaffed for females, and understaffed for males. However, there is a greater need for officers with specialties in nursing.

So, you could get into NROTC for college (pretty close to a free ride, only you're obligated to serve after you graduate, and if you don't, you have to pay them back), get your nursing degree, and serve as an officer. Anyway, the Navy page has more info.

Answer 5

No personal experience, however, my brother just finished a 23 year stint in the US Navy. He started as a corpsman and retired as an Chief Petty Officer.

The Navy offers great opportunity for individuals who want to specialize in nursing. You have a chance to travel, live in other countries and gain experience to help your future career goals.

Go for it.

Answer 6

OMG! it incredibly is that terrible and fully non-sensical movie purple Tide, with Gene Hackman and Denzel Washington. That movie became a dumb-down version of what could have been a solid movie. Even the freakin' arguement between the two sailors approximately who's Silver Surfer became extra suitable looked compelled and tacked on. Watch Hunt for crimson October rather. much extra suitable movie and much extra suitable forged.
