Deployment opportunities for Navy Nurse Corps Officers?

Aside from assignments at mainland CONUS and overseas Naval hospitals what are some opportunities for Naval Nurse Corps officers? Are there billets with USMC brigades or Sea-Bee battalions? Any personal insight would be appreciated. Vague speculation by civilains is not required. Thanks.

    There aren't billets with those units, but with the USMC battalions, there will be a field hospital some where around them. Nurses will be found their (also, could be found on some of the amphibious ships supporting Marines). Additionally, Navy medicine has done a lot to support medical efforts in Afghanistan and Iraq with the IA/GSA program. Going with a Seabee battalion is harder, as they are less likely to have a nurse (they will have a medical officer of some kind.
