UNOFFICIAL NAVY RESOURCE- Information subject to change
It’s a challenging career – but there are few that are more rewarding. And in the Navy, it comes with
the added respect of being an Officer.
It’s the power you have to touch a person’s life. And the valor you show when you take his or her life into
your hands. It’s an opportunity to connect with patients – the brave Sailors and Marines who have
answered the call of their country to defend our freedom. As well as their families. Helping patients in
need. At home and abroad.
In the civilian world, the long hours and hard work of nursing may not be noticed. But in the Navy, every
nurse is an Officer. That brings with it honor and admiration. Your opinion will count – and people will ask
for it. Physicians, surgeons, cardiologists and fellow nurses. In Navy Health Care, every member of the
team has a voice.

tech training for the next generation of nursing. You’ll appreciate how technology means less paperwork
and more patient care. Much different than in the private sector.
