In this episode I talk about some of the common duty stations you can experience while serving as a Navy nurse. Sorry about the wind in the background! I live on the 6th floor and could not figure out how to edit the wind from the background without erasing my voice. I am still new to making videos so thank you for your patience! I hope the information came across though and that it was helpful to you.

Thank you for watching and supporting me!
Thank you so much for your channel! I’ve been looking everywhere for an updated Navy nurse to provide info. I’m a nurse practitioner trying to commission hopefully this year. Please by all means, keep up these informative videos. It means so much to me! Have a great day!
So glad I found this video and found your channel. I was selected for the NCP in November and just received my assignment sheet.This video will help narrow my choices.
Do you mind if I ask, what GPA you applied with and some of your background experience like did you have volunteer work or prior service?
Thank you for doing this.
Great information! Thank you
Thanks for making this!
As soon as I opened your video, I instantly recognized the Ferris wheel. I grew up on Kinser! I just graduated nursing school and currently in the Army Reserves, but I’m weighing my options about going active Navy or Air Force.
I have been retired from the U.S. Navy Nurse Corps since 2007, and retired from the Kansas City Veterans Medical Center in 2019. I am very happy to see you provide new and aspiring nurses such good information about military nursing. I was a civilian nurse for 2 years prior to getting a direct commission. I had my best friend from nursing school, who joined 5 months after we graduated, to give me information. I have just watched 3 of your videos, and see you give much more helpful info than what a recruiter/detailer would provide. My navy nursing career had its ups and downs. It was hard, but very satisfying work. I am very grateful for the benefits my military retirement provides. I spent almost 4 years in Rota, Spain, and three and a half years in Okinawa. Being overseas was the best. Only deployed once, to Indonesia for the 2005 tsunami relief. Even though I strongly recommend active duty; at the VA, I worked with nurses who were in the reserves. That's like doing double service! Please continue the good work you are doing.
James Gagnon Thank you for your service and for the kind words!
How was the interviews and what questions did they ask? (Before commission) how long did it take? Do reservists have the same billets as active? What is the best and worst part of it?
Thank you so much for your videos and your service. I am an aspiring nurse. I just joined the Navy to start my career. My rating is HM. I look forward to being a Navy Nurse. I wanted to know how to be come a Nurse Midwife?
Mare Bear First of all congratulations on joining the Navy! I started out as an HM as well. To be a Nurse midwife I would recommend starting to take college classes while you are enlisted by using tuition assistance (TA). Put in a package for MECP. The Navy will pay you to go to school to be a nurse. After you are a nurse, work in labor and delivery and then put in a package to go to DUINS. In this way, you will never have to pay a dime for school, the Navy will have paid all of it. Start college early! Trust me, it pays off in the long run.
Estela Rojas thank you so much for replying!! Don’t stop making the videos you make. They are so helpful. Also, I really appreciate your response. Go Navy! 💕
Thank you for asking this question because I’ve been wondering the same thing!!!
Hey.. I'm about to graduate high school and want to start a career in Nursing. I want to start off nursing in the Navy for a few years then do regular nursing not in the Navy. But I am unsure and kinda confused how to go about that. Do I have to get my Bachelor's of Science in Nursing before joining the Navy? Or do I join the Navy right our of High School then they'll like have me do school to get the degree
There are two ways you can do it:
1) Get your BSN first then join the Navy as an officer. Just know that the Navy is looking more and more for nurses with at least a year of experience before joining though.
2) You can enlist in the Navy but you will not be an officer because you don't have your college degree yet. You will have to apply for the Medical Enlisted Commissioning Program (MECP), get accepted, then the Navy will pay for you to get your BSN. This will take longer than the first choice.
Hi there! I want to become a navy nurse and go greenside with marines. How likely in your opinion would it be that I could do that as my first ever navy nurse billet?
How To Alex Hi! Unfortunately, you will not go green side as your first duty station. At least not right now, maybe things will change in the future. However, you can go on your second duty station.
I've been an RN for 3 years and am looking into becoming a navy nurse. Do you get to choose where you are stationed?
Sofiya Shevchuk You get to choose where you are stationed depending on what billets are available at the specific time you are choosing orders. In my experience, the detailers try and work with you to pick a place where the Navy needs you but also a place you desire and will help you grow as a nurse.
is it possible to apply and work on your DNP while a naval nurse on a 4 year contract or do you have to wait until after?
It is possible but you have to work around your work schedule. You don’t have to wait until after you get out.
How long do you have to stay in the Navy once you join? I hear you get retirement benefits after 20 years.
It depends on what you sign in your contract. You can stay in for as little as 4 or up to 30 years. Yes, you get retirement benefits after 20 years.
Do you get to choose where you are stationed?
You get to choose based on what is available for your rank, specialty, and the time you happen to be picking orders.
Are navy nurses generally assigned to go abroad if they request it?
Shannon Greenhouse Not every single time you request it. There is a good chance you will get an overseas tour of duty at least once however, I wouldn’t say you will get an overseas duty every single time you request it. I have seen more people go back to the states after being stationed overseas, even though they requested to stay overseas.
The Navy Nurse Thanks so much!
