Job Description:
ABOUT
By the very nature of their duties, Navy Nurses quickly rise to the
top of their profession. They provide care, not only for military
servicemembers and their families, but also for people in need
around the globe.
Working with a team of talented colleagues united by a common
mission, Navy Nurses have the opportunity to educate, lead and
shape policy within Navy Health Care. They also:
* Apply leading-edge medical advances at world-class hospitals
* Utilize some of the most advanced technology on the planet, such
as Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), which can lead to less
paperwork and more meaningful patient care
* Work at the best military nursing facilities on shore, at sea and
in the field
RESPONSIBILITIES
As an active duty Navy Nurse, you'll provide high-quality nursing
care, doing everything a typical nurse would do in a variety of
settings:
* Military treatment facilities (in the U.S. and overseas)
* Austere environments (i.e. deployments, humanitarian aid
missions)
* Onboard ships (aircraft carriers, hospital ships)
Nursing in an austere environment could mean taking part in
humanitarian relief efforts, such as administering infant
vaccinations in developing countries, or providing emergency care
to victims of a natural disaster. Navy Nurses collaborate with
physicians, surgeons, cardiologists and fellow nurses as colleagues
and equals. Navy Nursing provides opportunities to develop
leadership skills that will set you apart.
WORK ENVIRONMENT
Active Duty Navy Nurses may serve at any one of more than 250 Navy
and medical facilities around the globe, from Hawaii to Japan,
Germany to Guam, and Washington, D.C., to Washington state.
As a Navy Nurse, you could work at one of the highly acclaimed
National Naval Medical Centers in Bethesda, Md.; Portsmouth, Va.;
and San Diego, Calif. Or you could provide medical support aboard
one of two dedicated hospital ships: the USNS Comfort and USNS
Mercy.
More opportunities are available stateside and abroad - aboard a
surface ship, working closely with a nearby aircraft squadron, or
even with the Fleet Marine Force.
TRAINING & ADVANCEMENT
Upon commissioning, Navy Nurses are required to attend Officer
Development School (ODS) in Newport, R.I. ODS is a five-week
program that provides a comprehensive and intense introduction to
the responsibilities of Navy Staff Corps Officers. They will learn
about the military structure of the U.S. Navy, its rich history of
traditions and customs, leadership development and military
etiquette.
Promotion opportunities are regularly available, but are
competitive and based on performance.
EDUCATION OPPORTUNITIES
High School Students
Through a Naval Reserve Officers Training Corps (NROTC) Nurse
Option scholarship, the Navy can cover the full cost - up to
$180,000 - of your nursing education at some of the best colleges
and universities in the country.
As a student, you can concentrate on your education or training
with no military/training obligation until after your program is
completed.
Offers have many variables. To get details and find out which offer
would benefit you most, request that a Navy Recruiter contact
you.
Nursing Students
With the Nurse Candidate Program (NCP), you can get an initial
grant of $10,000, plus a stipend of $1,000 per month for up to 24
months. That's up to $34,000 to help pay your way through nursing
school.
Offers have many variables. To get details and find out which offer
would benefit you most, request that a Navy Recruiter contact

QUALIFICATIONS & REQUIREMENTS
To qualify for employment consideration in the Navy Nurse Corps,
you must:
* Be a U.S. citizen currently practicing in the U.S.
* Be a student or graduate in good standing of a U.S. education
program granting a bachelor of science degree and accredited by the
Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE)
* Be licensed to practice in a U.S. state, the District of
Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico or a U.S. territory (new
graduates from NROTC or NCP must obtain a license within one year
of beginning Active Duty service)
* Be willing to serve a minimum of three years of Active Duty
* Be between the ages of 18 and 41
* Be in good physical condition and pass a full medical
