Civilian Career Paths

Career associations are editorial assessments of the cited evidence, not an official crosswalk unless the evidence explicitly says so. O*NET supplies civilian occupation information, not proof of a military match. Related experience does not confer civilian qualifications. Tasks and tools below describe civilian work, not military training.

Registered Nurses

Specialized military nursing care for maternal, newborn, and gynecologic patients directly supports civilian obstetric and women's health nursing roles.

How to prepare: Contact the nursing board where you intend to practice to confirm your licensure status and any remaining steps, then ask prospective obstetric units to review your specialty experience for placement and orientation needs. RN practice requires a state nursing license, with an approved nursing program and qualifying examination as licensing requirements.

What the civilian work involves
  • Record patients' medical information and vital signs.
  • Administer medications to patients and monitor patients for reactions or side effects.
  • Monitor, record, and report symptoms or changes in patients' conditions.
Civilian tools and software (examples)
  • Epic Systems
  • eClinicalWorks EHR software
