For example, an army facility for recooperation when they are in the states..or possibly when they are on leave in Germany?

You can, but you go where the army needs you. You may have something called a dream sheet- but nothing is guaranteed.

Not really. If you're actually an army nurse (i.e. in the army), you'll be occasionally deployed to combat zones. When you're not deployed to combat zones, you'll be stationed near an army base somewhere, still working as a nurse. If you want to be a nurse for recently discharged soldiers, you can become a nurse for a VA clinic but this will probably only be with military personnel who made a career out of it, to be eligible for VA benefits.

yes you can. line units do not have nurses, we have no need for them. the nurses that do deploy do so with CSH's, which stay on base and never leave the wire. most nurses however work in stateside hospitols. when it comes to recruiting for AMEDD, the army is pretty quick to please, and im sure you'll be able to get choice of duty assignment in your contract.
