What's the job of a nurse in US military?

Same as the job of a nurse in a civilian position.

The same as a nurse anywhere else---to tend to sick and injured people.

Same as a nurse out side of the military.

US Government has taken contract to attack anyone in the world. In the war casualties are common. To treat them they need doctors and NURSES.

91 series practical nurse. you can not be a nurse unless you have 4 year degree.

To sponge-bath stinky balls all day long. do you still want the job?

Assuming that you have the neccessary degree, if you take the job of a nurse in the military you'll be... just like a nurse outside the military! Except you'll have soldier training and the constant threat of deployment.

As a military wife, I have to go to the clinics on base, where I am treated by doctors and nurses, all of which are in uniform. They do the usual things that you see done at a doctor's office... except sometimes they bark at you and are a little meaner... :S But lots of times they're okay, too.

As an ex-medic in the army, I'll say that your job as a nurse is to take as many lives as you save.

I say this because I was on the front lines too often, and was shot at more often than I care to have been.

Yes I am bitter, but finally got my discharge. I had originally signed up for the army so that I could learn to save lives, and make people's lives better.. instead I ended up taking lives. In my book that makes me more of a murderer than a nurse.

well it's a kinky q. anyway a nurse assignment is to blow hard cases at any time.

same as the civilian world.. taking care of patients.

To provide nursing care for military members and their families. Just about anything a nurse might do in the civilian sector, they can do in the military too. The military uses certified nurse-midwives for prenatal care and labor and delivery, they use nurse-practioners in various capacities, and then there are the plain old nursing jobs.
