I wouldn’t be able to be deployed overseas (well maybe I would depending on the resources available, but am quite sure that my medical needs would hinder the rest of my group) Although I know that I would be a great nurse for specific rolls (recovery and such) more slower paced environments. I would love to be deployed and working in the Emergency field of it all but it wouldn’t be practical for the rest of the team therefore would make it an unnecessary risk for everyone else. I hope this is making sense. My question is does anyone think there is a spot out there for me in the military nursing field, were I would still be stationed in the states?
P.S. I am fully competent to work in the average nursing field but wouldn’t not risk anyone else’s safety for my medical issues (nor do I think the army would) but it is a dream of mine so I just wanted to know if anyone knew anything about this.
