After receiving torents of abuse with my last two messages, i kinda get the guist that with this bait, torrents of abuse will passed my way again!.... so if any wants to PM thus avoiding the onslaught that would be great!
Anyway, the question.....
What is being an army nurse really like? I've been 'sold' the propaganda but obviously i must take that with a pinch of salt. If i give you my view, then people can put me right.
In my view the benefits of being an army nurse are getting to do things just not avaliable on civvy street... such as:
getting different jobs within different specialities every couple of years
getting any post graduate courses paid for (is it hard to get onto them though?)
having the opportunity to go on tour (is there a lot of opportunity)
work in a close support role (is this a difficult postion to achieve?)
being given more responsibility faster than in civvy street
opportunity to be posted overseas (or do most nurses just end up in the UK?)
can work in a non-nursing role (eg teaching)
opportunity to commission, after 2 years post reg experience (solider - officer does it really ever happen??)
Now have the recruiters just done a fantastic job in brainwashing me, or is this actually what it is like, if your willing to give 110% to your career development?
Cheers guys
Sarah
