Question

Does the US Coast Guard recruit nurses?

Answer 1

No

Answer 2

I know the coast guard recruits all kinds of people with various carriers but the question your asking would be best answered by the coast guard. In my sources is the contact link

Answer 3

Probably. They have doctors. You could enlist and get a higher enlistment rank because of experience. I know you can be a health technician. I might check out Navy or Army because they have bigger medical fields. You could probably get an amazing signing bonus with the Army.

Answer 4

All of the branches have nurses stationed at medical facilities at their normal (stateside) bases. I don't think there's much difference in such assignments.

With the current situation in Iraq and Afghanistan, the Army Nursing program is primarily based on the mission of that service.

The Army has more nurses practicing in forward (war) locations, practicing medical procedures in forward (combat) locations where members are injured and need immediate care.

The Air Force has more medical evacuation nurses, who specialize is treating patients in a transport mode.

The Navy has a few "medical ships," which they station off of combat zones, to provide a "safe" area to stabilize combat injuries before evacuation to major medical centers.

Answer 5

Actually neither the Coast Guard or Marines commission nurses. You can be a nurse that works on the bases though or a military nurse in any other branch.
