Hi everyone,
Before i begin, I HAVE done a search on this & didn't find exactly what i was looking for. Right now I'm an RN working on a surgical unit & currently upgrading my education to a BScN, which will be done by next summer. I'm also in the infantry reserves & have been for 9 years. I've been considering going reg force as army nurse for a while now but one thing holds me back....what is it REALLY like working as a nurse with the military? Are you constantly posted around? Is there lots of boredom associated with the job (can't handle too much boredom)? What other aspects of the job are there?
I'm asking because i want the real deal before i make a hasty decision. The unit i work on is VERY busy & i need that kind of pace to keep myself going. Too much of doing the same thing makes me ansy. I hope someone can help me out here. I also am planning, if possible, to take one of my clinicals with a nurse posted at Denison armoury in Toronto.
Thanks!!
