Navy nurses do the same things that a civilian nurse does, but better. When trained under pressure and in stressful situations, a Navy nurse offers more to future employees than any other candidate. If you begin your nursing career in the military, you will be using some of the most advanced technology which will give you a leading advantage in the workforce.

Demands of the US Navy Nurse:

Being a Navy nurse is physically demanding. Therefore, certain stipulations must be met. The candidate needs to be between the ages of 18 and 42, be a graduate of a licensed nursing school in the United States and have a Bachelor of Science degree, have passed a state board exam for one of the 50 states and also licensed. A person must be able to serve a minimum of three years of Active Duty, be in good physical condition and able to pass a full medical examination.

Civilian Careers after the US Navy:

All the education and training you receive in the US Navy as a nurse will make you prepared for life in the civilian healthcare system if you decide to leave the Navy. You will be considered a Veteran so that means you will receive higher precedence when applying for a nursing job on the outside over non military individuals. You will also have a special level of training which will prepare you to take on leadership roles faster. Click here to get started and leave your dead end job behind!
