How much training do you get by being a nurse in the Navy compared to the real world after you leave the Navy?

If you go into the navy as a nurse you will have to be a Registered Nurse with a bachelors degree or better. You will work in a number of different situations. You will do some hospital nursing, some clinic nursing, some deployed nursing either on at a land facility over seas or on a ship. You will get experience that you will not get in the civilian world. It will make you a more rounded person and nurse.

You will be trained as a nurse before you join the Navy. While you serve, every command has in-service training for every doctor, nurse and corpsman. Sometimes it is nonsensical. I recall one where a bunch of dentists learned the hand signals for directing a helicopter landing. Other times it will be cutting edge directly relating to your specialty.

To be a nurse in the Navy first you must graduate from a nursing school with a BS or higher. So your training is from the real world and is the same as any other nurse who never joined the military.

As far as job training/job-related experience goes, I think it would, pretty much, be the same thing. But I think that, in general, the patients that go to Naval hospitals treat their Navy nurses much better than civilian patients in the civilian hospitals. My mother was a doctor at a (civilian) hospital on the South Side of Chicago. I visited her there a few times, and I have seen the patients & their relatives cussing, spitting, threatening, and attacking the doctors & nurses.

You must already have your BSN and be licensed in your state before being accepted into the Navy. Then you must continue the same training, education, etc.. as a civilian nurse. Plus add in some more for wearing a gas mask, security, etc...

You have to have a state license, just like any nurse, which means you have to get the same number of continuing education hours every few years to maintain your license, just like a civilian nurse.

You also get the joy of doing annual/recurring training on fun subjects like wearing a gas mask, force protection, information security, marking and security of classified information, sexual harassment awareness, etc.

You pretty much have to already have a BSN and your RN in hand to apply for a direct commission into the Navy Nurse Corps.

There isn't a Navy Nurse Academy.

So, even.

pretty much the same amount
