I am just curious if any agencies out there can place nurses in active duty military hospitals, (not va). I'm former military and wouldn't mind working in that environment again but I'm not sure if any agencies service these types of facilities

I'm not sure what you mean by active duty military hospitals? Army Medical Centers provide medical care to active duty [and dependents], veterans, and retirees.

Both active duty & civilian [GS] nurses work at Army Medical Centers. Whether, or not travel agencies have contracts with Army Medical Centers I don't know. However, I will ask around tomorrow at Madigan Army Medical Center.

*My military nursing knowledge is limited to Army nursing. Therefore, unable to venture a guess regards to USAF & Navy Medical Centers.
