This may be slightly off topic, but if anybody has any interest in military medicine, I'm a hospital corpsman (enlisted medical personnel) in the Navy, and any questions I can't answer about nursing in regards to Naval medicine I could hand off to Nurses who work in the hospital I work at (large Naval hospital, overseas). For reference, I work in the ICU, usually doing about the same level of work that LPNs do, since to be a nurse in the Navy you must be an officer, and therefore you must have a degree - in this case a BSN or graduate nursing degree (CRNA, MSN, etc). The pracitical result of this is that we have very few LPNs or CNAs (only a small handful of civilian employees). The scopes of practice in the military are very different in many cases than in the civilian sector. Additionally, as an officer, there's military and command-structure related things to do that most civilian nurses probably never have to even think about. If this is of interest to anybody I'd be glad to contribute, if not, that's cool too.
