    I am a third year nursing student and will be a fourth year student this coming semester. My dream is to become a Navy Nurse though I live in the Republic of the Philippines, I want to serve every people and not considering any discrimination in other country. I want to be a part of the military medical team to explore my knowledge, to be a part of the health care providers and to help in preventing disease and diformities. I am here to volunteer myself and I am very much willing to be a Military Nurse.

    I am a 23year old female. Already a registered nurse in the state of Massachusetts with an Associates Degree from Bunker Hill Community College. I am having trouble finding a job in the Boston area. I wish to travel. It would be an honor to work with men and women serve the country. I was lucky enough to have experienced a clinical rotation at the VA in W. Roxbury and I loved it there. I can’t believe I am saying this but I would like more information about becoming a navy nurse =)
