OPSEC - Navy Operations Security
Always keep Navy Operations Security in mind. In the Navy, it's essential to remember that "loose lips sink ships." OPSEC is everyone's responsibility.
DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.
DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

I am an RN as well and if employed at VA facility you only need license in one state and that is good at any any VA facility. I thought about a travel contract at the VA hospital in San Diego where my son will be stationed. I did travel nursing for a couple of years and they pay travel expenses and rent and utilities too. I go through Favoritestaffing. Please use me as a reference if you ever decide to use Favoritestaffing. They are wonderful and on interner. Just use Jguzan and they will know who I am. Many openings all over U.S.

I was thinking about doing something like that, but I figured being a new nurse I would not be qualified. I just graduated in Dec and have been working med surg/telemetry for 5 months. I really want to move to surgery, med surg is just temporary. I had to find a job that would not require me to sign a 2 yr contract. I am sure they will not be happy with me when we get his orders.

most agency's require 1 yr exp but some will except close. Med-surg is always a good starting point. The nuts and bolts of all nursing. Personally I worked first 3 yrs as my family drs nurse and then at a teaching hospital med-surg 2 yrs then urgent care 2yrs then ER 2 yrs then traveling off and on with various contracts. Worked a contract for health dept immunization clinic...fun...breast center...fun... er...fun.... Also I have spent past 18 months as advice nurse on phone/computer from home for a pharmacy company.
