I'm working as a critical care nurse in a cardiothoracic ICU, but I've been interested in advancing my career and my depth medical knowledge since nursing school, given that I didn't get nearly as much out of it as I hoped I would. Before I start speaking to recruiters, I wanted to reach out for some unbiased opinions on the following questions.
1) I know that military medical schools aren't for everyone, but I'm wondering who they are right for. I'm single, unafraid of commitment to the military, wanting to travel the world, love critical care...would military nursing be a good fit? I have no interest in swimming in debt for the next ten years of my life.
2) What disadvantages of military service might I not be told about or aware of?
3) Which branch of the military would be in my best interest to look into for a career as a physician?
4) If you've served as a military physician or are serving as a military physician? What has your experience been like? Was it worth it for you?
Thank you for your input. Feel free to shoot me a personal message if you have any experience with this matter.
