Hi!! My name is Krista. My boyfriend and I are both in the army reserve and his unit is getting ready to head to Kuwait in March but he will leave in feb to mob. We're thinking he'll be gone all together 9 months. We have a 5 month old daughter together. Can you give me any advice on how to make it an easy deployment?! I work part time and will be going to school starting in the summer.

That is amazing news! Thank you so much! I guess my only problem might be finding my first RN job because I will have no experience! Either way, that is super cool that they hire nurses on the bases too because I would love to work on the base where Thomas is stationed.

Hey Nicole! Just happened to look at your about me and saw that you are an RN! I will have my degree and will be an RN next year and I am so excited! I just was curious, are you able to travel around as a nurse with your husband being military? I would assume you would be able to because there are hospitals everywhere but I am skeptical because I would think more hospitals would want to hire long term nurses. Also, do they ever hire nurses on the bases your husband is stationed at?

I'm eager to hear how your marathon went!

Well thank youuuu!!! I appreciate the shout-out Based on your posts that I've seen I feel like our approaches to life are pretty similar haha!

You as well!

Hi! I noticed the same thing. But they say great minds think alike!

I will <3

I should update that...I dropped out of nursing school 10 years ago LOL I'm in school now for elementary education. But thanks

How very sweet and thoughtful for you to take the time to send this message. I appreciate it very much. Thank you!
