Thank you so much for this. My wife is looking to join and I could only give her my perspective from the Marine Corps. This is gold. Please keep them coming and thank you for your service
I have just over 6 years of nursing experience. 3 adult med surg/oncology, 3 pedi med surg/oncology. I also have my CPN certification. I’m planning on talking to a recruiter soon for ODS! Love your videos! They’re really helpful!
Hello. I’m a critical care/ER nurse currently applying for the reserves. Do you know if it is difficult for a reservist to get a specialty billet? I would love to get onto a ship/fleet position or on a flight team. Or is a reservist more likely to deploy in milder settings.
Ethan In my experience I have seen reservists only work in clinics and hospitals for their annual 2 weeks of reserve training and when they are deployed they are typically not in a specialty billet. However, each reserve unit is different. The best person to talk to would be your specific reserve unit personnel who handle where you get to train, work, deploy, etc. Also look at classes like TNCC, C4, that make you more operationally ready.
That may be true at this time. The Navy is definitely looking for more critical care nurses right now. But, things can change. Keep asking and maybe try talking to different recruiters.
What's the likelihood of going in as a critical care nurse and not working in the ICU? The Army has specific MOS designations for their nursing specialties, does the Navy not do this?
The Navy has specific designations for nursing specialties as well. For example, an ICU nurse is a 1960 and an ER nurse is a 1945. Unfortunately, at some duty stations where they need nurses in lower manned areas such as L&D, an ICU nurse MAY have to work in L&D to fill the gap. I know, it sounds ridiculous and I don’t know any ICU nurse that enjoys working in L&D. This is a downside of being a Navy nurse. I would say the likelihood of this happening is low though. But, it definitely does happen.
Hi, I'm COMPLETELY NEW to joining. I know nothing about the navy nurse section. I also have a family of my own. So I dont want to be away from them or be on deployment. Is that possible?
Lizbeth M Caceres It is possible. If you don’t want to deploy, do not become an ER, ICU, or OR nurse. These are highly deployable nurses. I cannot guarantee that you will never get deployed however, it is totally possible to NOT deploy.

I was told by recruiter that they only take critical care nurses , I have experience in med/surg and I’m a certified pediatric nurse

Can navy nurses go on submarines
Can PICC lines be a specialty or is it a duty in addition to your typical role? Thanks! You are so helpful!
Being PICC certified is just an additional duty to your primary nursing role.
