I work as an Operating Room Nurse. Currently serving in the USPHS and stationed in Anchorage, AK. Have been a nurse for 15+ years, OR nurse for 12, and did a six year hitch as an OR nurse in USAF. Did one four month deployment to Balad AF Theater Hospital, Balad, Iraq in 2005-2006. Figured I was getting too old to play the young mans game in the Armed Services so obtained a commission in USPHS 2008. Now a LCDR/04 and just 5 1/2 years to having my 20 in. My four + years in PHS have been working in IHS facilities. It has been a long road considering I was doing push ups for President Reagan in 1983 during my four years of Army Infantry followed by seven years in the National Guard, Infantry.
The medical field/nursing has been interesting and good for me, but I must admit it is the way I make a living and not my passion. Enjoyed my eight years of factory work and four years of construction work better, but economy changed my direction probably for the better.
