I’m going to go green side as a HM! Leave 1 week to boot camp

[@ASap-ge8hj]

Quick question! When working in the hospitals are you always in the scrubs or do you wear your uniform as well?

[@treasurita]

A. Sap typically scrubs so we don’t get our uniform dirty but our uniform could be worn as well. Depends on if you’re doing direct patient care or not.

[@emmemartinez4794]

I’m wanting to become a navy corpsmen as well, but I wanted to know if you’re able to pick what hospital you work at?

[@treasurita]

Emme Martinez nope! You pick up to 5 options from a list but ultimately they send you where you’re needed.

[@mikemeyer5147]

hi how are you?? im 17, and going to college in january. im going to a community college for my associates. im going for allied health right now. after my two years i was originally going to transfer to a medical school to become an RN. but i wanna serve my country and the navy seems like a good option. what medical jobs are in the navy? and would you suggest getting my RN license first, then joining or join after i get my associates. (btw i have my ged which is why im going to a two year college so i have credits to join the navy.

[@kajaanasilemam1479]

Hey girl! 😍 I’m shipping out with HM next month! Do you know if I can request which area of the hospital I work in? And do we have to wear camis while working? 💕

[@treasurita]

Hey girl! So typically you don’t chose where you work, you sponsor will let you know. But depending on the command, they may be flexible after awhile on board. And I’ve done patient care in my camis and in scrubs. Just depends on where you’re at. Hope this helps! ❤️

[@hegtmotion]

Do you have to be a certain rank to live off base?

[@treasurita]

YOBOIISIM depends on your duty station

[@katelynosborn6829]

what is a typical work week like? do y'all always work 12 hour shifts?

[@treasurita]

Katelyn Osborn depends on where you work. I work on a ward and work “ward hours” which are 12 hour shifts. One week you’re scheduled to work Monday, Tuesday, and the weekend (Fri., Sat., and Sun.), with the two days (Tue. and Thur.) off in between. Then the next week you’ll work the opposite. And it keeps alternating. We also get “holidays” because if we’re scheduled to work on a holiday such as Christmas Day, we’ll get that day back sometime down the line. If you like to have a predictable schedule and days off during the week, then working on a ward is the place for you.

[@katelynosborn6829]

@@treasurita thank you for answering my questions in detail! I really appreciate it. Right now I am deciding if I want to join the Navy. In another video I watched of yours you talked about your ambition to be a doctor. How are you able to go to college? Are you able to take your science prerequisites like micro, physics?

[@treasurita]

Hey, I just want to know if you like what you do?

[@georgetted3347]

I want to be a corpsman in the navy, but I would like to know if you deal with combat as well

[@treasurita]

Georgette D I personally have not but as a Corpsman, you can possibly be sent through FMF (Fleet Marine Force) training that qualifies you to deploy with the Marines, possibly to combat zones. But when joining the military period, you should be prepared to go to combat, regardless of your rate, honestly. Not saying that in a bad way, but you know. It’s the military.

[@georgetted3347]

Treasurita okay thank you I appreciate it 😊🙏🏽 love your Chanel btw !

[@reneediaz4494]

Did you have to go to boot camp to become a nurse in the navy?

[@Pimpishone]

Yes she did once you join any branch of the military you have to make it through boot camp then get sent to military school where you pickup skills that pertain to your job. I'm prior service Army did 3yrs on Active Duty now I'm thinking of joining the Navy.

[@treasurita]

I’m not a nurse but yes you still have to go through some version of bootcamp to become an officer in the military

[@chadajahrobinson5078]

@Treasurita. I am joint the Navy soon, how long did you have to wait for the job to become available? I noticed it is in high demand

[@chadajahrobinson5078]

@Treasurita

[@treasurita]

When I went to MEPS to sign for my job, they told me Corpsman was unavailable but I was persistent and wouldn’t take any other job. I did not sign my contract until I got the job that I wanted and I was willing to wait until it became available, which it magically became available after I said I would come back and sign it later when it opened up. Remember, they do not want you to leave and they will tell you anything to get you to sign your contract on the spot so be sure not to get finessed into picking any random job. Also do your research so you’ll have options in case one of the jobs you want isn’t available and you don’t want to delay joining. And ask about incentives!!

[@chadajahrobinson5078]

@@treasurita I appreciate your honesty. I don't want any other job. Lastly, how was training school?

[@treasurita]

Chadajah Robinson it was a good experience for me. I went in 2015 and there’s a ton of vids on here of newer sailors that are going through currently or recently. But I got in good shape, we worked out 3x a week, the food was good enough, and San Antonio was beautiful and had so much to do. You just have to make sure you’re on top of your studies or you will get rolled back.

[@kaseywainwright2452]

I’m really interested in being an ER/ Hospital Corpsman, but I’m kinda confused on the process and how to get there? Do you have any advice on the steps needed to become one?

[@treasurita]

Kasey Wainwright are you already a Corpsman? Or you haven’t joined yet?

[@kaseywainwright2452]

Treasurita I haven’t joined yet. I’m still in highschool but was thinking of joining right after I graduate

[@treasurita]

Kasey Wainwright well if you’re sure you want to join right after high school (which I personally don’t recommend) you have to first enlist in the navy as a Corpsman, and if you don’t want a specialty, then you’ll be quad zero. As a quad zero, you could go anywhere. Now, once you get to A-school, you have to make sure you communicate with your instructors on where you want to go, which has to be a hospital. And again, it’s all about communicating. Always communicate your goals and where you want to work. I say that because once you sign on that dotted line, you are at the needs of the navy, meaning they can and will send you anywhere. So always go in with A PLAN! And don’t let anyone tell you differently.

[@kaseywainwright2452]

Treasurita Thank you😊 I’m really sorry to keep bothering you as I know you’re super busy but would it be possible to get my 4 years of pre med and then apply for the HPSP scholarship to join the navy and then pay for my medical school and then join as an officer?

[@livimane5564]

Kasey Wainwright Don’t try to enlist as an officer. You’re going up against people who are already enlisted and people who have a higher GPA, better recommendations, and shit like that. It’s a lot more that goes into it than coming off the fleet into an officer position than the other way around.

[@carlos0000233]

Do you become a nurse after being a corpsman in the navy?

[@treasurita]

Nope

[@lokifairy888]

waitttt so i was looking under one comment and I want to be a nurse in the navy. So should I go to college to be an RN & do ROTC to be commissioned? Or should I just enlist and then commission...

[@treasurita]

It depends on the person you are. Commissioning as an officer from enlisted is definitely possible but I’m sure it’s not easy.

[@lokifairy888]

Treasurita so i should do the reserves and then become a nurse ?

[@treasurita]

Black Magic if you want to be a navy nurse, you have to be an officer, that won’t ever change. How you get there, that can. There are a lot of different options you just have to find one that fits you.

[@lokifairy888]

Treasurita yes thank you I understand that I’ll always be an officer in order to be a nurse but instead of enlisting I’ll join the reserves. Thank you though

[@treasurita]

Black Magic you can be an officer or enlisted in both active duty and reserves.

[@haydenpayne293]

Can you elaborate more on a corpsman? What I mean is are similar to a CNA, MA, Nurse, or Lab Tech. Are their multiple types of corpsman?

[@treasurita]

Hayden Payne sure! In this world, you’re either a civilian or military. Meaning, jobs in the military usually translate to something in the civilian world. Corpsman pretty much translates to Medical assistant. The only difference is Corpsman are in the military and don’t earn any certifications for a-school training, and there are SO MANY different types of corpsmen. Here’s a really good link that explains what corpsmen do and all the current navy hm NEC’s: www.thebalancecareers.com/navy-enlisted-classifications-for-hospital-corpsman-3355027 And I think a CNA and medical assistant are the same thing? And Corpsmen are not nurses although we do normally work alongside nurses and doctors. And yes, a Corpsman can be a lab tech! After A-school, you can go to c-school to become a lab tech which actually has a lot of educational benefits. Hope I answered your question!

Hi, I am currently a senior in High School and will graduate in May of 2019. I’m planning on pursuing a Bachelor’s Degree in Health Science and I’m still deciding whether or not I will enlist after I get my bachelors. I will have at least 60 college credits by the time I graduate High School so I should be able to get my Bachelor’s within 2 years. I am also planning on becoming a Physical Therapist which involves getting a Doctorate. What would you recommend as the best course of action in making this approach?

[@treasurita]

Sorry for the late reply! But I recommend you finish your Bachelors degree then commission as an officer, not enlist. You could even go as far as becoming a physical therapist then commission as a medical officer. But ultimately, I recommend you go to college first, grow in your personal life, then decide if you still want to join the military. You already have so much going for yourself! Keep it up!

J13 there are a lot of benefits depending on what you want to get out of it. And the rent, as for the navy, you can get BAH (basic allowance for housing) depending on where you are stationed and your rank or family. And yes you get 2.5 days a month which equals to 30 leave days a year.

Do you have any tips on getting hm at meps or is it just based on luck? I really hope I get it

[@treasurita]

Youla Mansaray yes! They tried to not give me HM initially so I said I’ll just come back later then something just “magically” became available lol so just be adamant about what you want and DO NOT SIGN ANYTHING unless it’s EXACTLY what you want! Do not believe anything they say, it HAS to be on paper! They will sometimes promise you a rate such as HM by allowing you to join as a PACT (not sure what it stands for but it basically means undesignated) seaman. You’ll be mopping floors on a ship and will be at the needs of the Navy for a while before you get a job. SO PLEASE READ EVERYTHING THOROUGHLY, ASK QUESTIONS AND DO NOT SIGN ANYTHING IF YOUR’E UNSURE OR CONFUSED! 😊 hope this helps!
