Hi all...my name is Jackie and I will be graduating with my BSN in March of next year. I will be working in Critical Care and plan to stay there for at least 4 years in the civilian world...but then I want to join the Navy Nurse Corps and have help with my loan repayment and possibly an MSN (I'm only 25 now so I have plenty of time). My husband is currently active duty Navy and has completed 11 years thus far and plans to finish out his 20. So my questions are: Is anyone dual military and how do you handle that (we have 2 children who will be 5 and 8 by that time)? Can I get the Navy to send me to school for my MSN and be tuition free in exchange for years of service? Do I have to work while going to school for my MSN, or PhD for that matter? How often do nurses get deployed? Would I be able to work in ICU in the Navy or would I have to work wherever they want me even though I would have such great experience already (I also already live in San Diego really close to a large military hospital)? Ok...I think that's it for now...I'm just happy to have found this resource. Thanks in advance for any and all help!
