Does anyone have advice for career exploration within the nursing/medical/education field?

Veteran

Frances Oquendo Fort Knox, KY

I am a military spouse, veteran, and Family Nurse Practitioner with a Doctorate in Nursing Practice and experience in nursing education. I currently work as a Disability Examiner for service members exiting the military and veterans with contentions for service connection for VA benefits. I love what I do and the population I serve, but I am looking to explore career options with more portability for a permanent change of station. It is difficult to start over every time we come down on orders. Advice on portable options or career assessment testing using my nursing and teaching background would be much appreciated. Thank you for your time and assistance.

It looks like there are many opportunities with a Doctorate in Nursing, in Kentucky, especially with your experience as a Nursing Instructor!

If you want or need to relocate, there also seems to be opportunities in other states.:
