What is it like to be a nurse in the Army?
I am a Reserves soldier in ROTC trying to decide what to major in. What is it like for an Officer Nurse in the Regular Army?? As far as day to day (do you just work at a hospital) and deployments (do most get stationed in Germany or Iraq etc just as much? Is it dangerous for nurses?)

My wife is a 66E Perioperative (OR) Nurse and loves it. She goes in at 0700 and comes home around 1530 daily. The deployments for US Army Nurses are 6 months boots on the ground in a combat zone. My wife has not deployed and has been in for 2 years so far, but has worked with a couple that have. They said their living standards are quite nice and they wouldn't mind going back. As far as day to day operations go it's really dependent upon your job. My wife only works in the OR and from what she's learned, won't deviate from that unless she requests it. Again, look at the different specialties and that answer may vary accordingly. Is it dangerous...by odds I'd say no since we've lost one Army Nurse since the Vietnam War to Present. She died in a chow hall in Iraq. The educational benefits are one of the huge reasons she joined and remained in. The Army hired her with her MSN and she'll attend the Perioperative Masters Program before picking up Major. Anyway, my wife was a Nurse for 12 years before deciding upon this and she says she's never been more impressed with the efficiency of a hospital the way she's seen in the two Army hospitals she's worked in. If you've got more specific questions then please feel free to email me and I'll pass them on to the wife. Best of luck! *EDIT* So someone is going to give me a thumbs down when I actually live with an Army Nurse? Idiots.

As a nurse in the Army, you are usually stationed in a hospital, but attached to a field unit. You will work in the hospital on a routine daily basis, doing your regular work. In the event the field unit deploys, you are pulled out of the hospital to go with them. You will be working in a field hospital, whereever you are deployed. You can be stationed anywhere the military has a facility, including the US, Korea, Europe, Iraq and Afghanistan

Can anyone list universities in Germany that are taught in English
Can anyone list universities in Germany that are taught in English?
I'm planning to move back to Germany when I'm old enough and I was wondering if anyone had a list of universities taught in English. I would just go to a university in the states, but in order to obtain citizenship, I have to learn German. Maybe I could take a class while I'm there. I'm going to study to become a surgical nurse. -Thanks

This bursary called BAFÖG is only given to two categories of students in Germany: (1) those with German citizenship; (2) those with foreign citizenship who have graduated from a German high school (Gymnasium). It seems you do not fall in any of these categories... Dr Chris G Kiem Education Counsellor German Study Centre Cochin (DSZ) germanstudycentre@gmail.com http://chris-g-kiem.blogspot.com/

How many socialist doctors and nurses were practicing in nazi germany
How many socialist doctors and nurses were practicing in nazi germany?
and abusing all the different types of persons who were subject to genocide? Were there different hospitals for the experiments vs traditional medicine? What happened to any Dr or nurse who refused to participate in illegal activities? http://www.ushmm.org/museum/exhibit/focus/warcrimetrials/comment_post.php

Weird question. I suppose you are unaware that leftists were jailed or killed in Nazi Germany, and that Hitler and his scum bag associates were RIGHT WINGERS. Read Shirer's RISE AND FALL OF THE THIRD REICH or Bullock's HITLER: A STUDY IN TYRANNY. It's all explained there. Albert Speer's INSIDE THE THIRD REICH gives a participant's view, but again, it's clear: the Nazis were reactionary right wingers, and any socialists serving them would've been prisoners, on a short leash, until they were murdered. Most of the experimental hospitals--again, you need to look this up in the valid literature, not sleazy internet trash--were die hard Nazis. Germany's National Public Health System was already old, having begun in 1871. Yes, almost all experiments were done in special "Reich Sanitary Institutes". I am not sure what happened to those who refused to participate, and I doubt there would've been many. Most physicians assembled their own staffs for their crackpot work.
