Navy Nurse
The greatest reward for nearly every nurse is the joy of serving others. But in the Navy Nurse Corps, when you work to improve the lives of others, you can vastly improve your own – both professionally and personally.
As a Navy Nurse, you will serve your country by helping not only those in the military who defend it but also their families and people in need around the globe. In some of the most dynamic environments imaginable. Sharing equal status with the health care professionals you work with. Serving a greater good – and your own career.
Responsibilities
- In the Navy Nurse Corps, you’ll provide high-quality nursing care for Sailors, Marines and servicemembers – and their families – wherever duty calls. Doing everything a typical nurse would do – from checking vitals and treating wounds to managing triage and mentoring others. All while lifting spirits and restoring hope.
- Plus, you’ll have the opportunity to step outside of your comfort zone. That could mean taking part in humanitarian relief efforts or outreach programs at home and abroad. Collaborating with physicians, surgeons, cardiologists and fellow nurses as colleagues and equals. Developing the leadership skills that will set you apart.
Requirements
- Graduate of a school of nursing accredited by the Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing (ACEN) or the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE) that conferred a nursing baccalaureate or an advanced nursing degree. Minimum grade point average of 2.5 on 4.0 scale, no waivers.
- Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNA), Nurse Practitioners (NP) and Certified Nurse Midwives (CNM) must have a master’s or doctorate degree from a graduate educational program approved by the Council on Accreditation of Nurse Educational Programs and have passed the certification examination from a professional specialty organization.
- Recent baccalaureate degree graduates are eligible to apply. Critical Care and Labor and Delivery must prove either one year full time work experience or two years part-time work experience in direct patient care. All other specialties must have a minimum of one year work experience in direct patient care.
- Must possess a current, unrestricted license, in good standing, to practice as a registered professional nurse from a State, territory or commonwealth of the United States or the District of Columbia, awarded upon successful completion of the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX).
- Excellent communication skills, both verbal and written, with the ability to educate patients effectively.
- Ability to work collaboratively within a multidisciplinary team environment while maintaining a high level of professionalism.
