    Im not a navy nurse but a civilian nurse and It is the most rewarding career you can chose. I take car od babies that are at home on ventilators and knowing that I give that baby one more day with his family s the most awesome feeling in the world. There are so many fields of nursing you can chose-so you never get stuck in a rut. the first 6 months of nursing school are the hardest and then clincals area breeze! Best of luck to you.
