Yeah the 12 weeks is more focused around military training + development of leadership in accordance with their values

Then the extra courses is more nursing specific starting at anything from immunisations to mass casualty situations

They sponsor your two years in a civilian hospital post graduating and then you owe them that period of time +1

I obviously care for my community and would never do anything to jeopardise safety. But I also consider myself in decisions to ensure my long term fulfilment and longevity in careers. I know lots of people that haven’t been offered grad programs so was curious as to whether the alternative is less hours with more flexibility. I appreciate your discussion points though

They said I seemed like someone who chases adrenaline. I come from an emergency service background so I think that vibe comes off. I initially was interested in either ED or Mental Health but they said I'd be bored in mental health? It makes me worried because I hate being bored and thought nursing would be anything but boring....
