Hello.

I just wanted to shout out to everyone in the forum. A few questions that might open a few cans of worms. Basically if you all were in my shoes.

I'm a 31y/o male considering leaving Military RN nursing with the Army. Basically I have a BSN with some advanced classes. 7 Years as a nurse and on active duty ER nursing is what I do and prefer now but I have med/Surg/Oncology/Peds and some PACU experience. I also served in Iraq July 03-Jan04.

Couple Questions.

#1 I am looking into the best paying staff RN jobs around the nation, especially Hawaii and California. Who or where are the best places to look into?

#2 Has anyone on this forum served as an RN or LVN in the US Navy or Air FOrce on Active Duty? What are your opinions and knowledge regarding cross branch transfer?

I appreciate the advice.
