I have been following the thread for FY 2013 Air Force nursing and realize that many of the clinical nurses, including myself, were made alternates for FY 2014. The only information I have received from my recruiter is that I will find out sometime in April or May if I am selected or not. Has anyone received more detailed information about the upcoming boards? What is the likelihood of selection for us alternates?

I am also interested to hear from anyone currently serving as a clinical nurse in the Air Force who can describe the day-to-day life and current news regarding the nursing specialty. I am 28 years old, have been an acute care RN at a level I facility since 2008, served seven years in the Army National Guard, and am a family man with two children. My wife, also an RN, and I are excited that I am an "alternate" for FY 2014 because it seems likely I will be selected. We have anxieties about active duty because I have never served on active duty.

I just saw these new posts...wow! Congratulations! It is exciting moment. I just emailed my recruiter. Probably wont hear anything until Monday. He is normally good at replying to my emails and text no matter what time. Not sure if I should take this as a bad sign...him not telling me results are in already :) oh emotions!

Hi everyone,

Congrats to all that have been selected!!!

I have followed thread for a while and quietly lived all the crazy emotions of the wait for the answer that changes lives!

I am a graduating with my BSN in December but have been a nurse for 7years I applied to this FQ board and am hoping that even though I haven't heard from my recruiter I will get good news!! I currently work in a government facility and Monday is a holiday for us I hope the recruiters still work to give us some answers!! I am hoping for COT in May. I am applying for ER nurse position. I am not prior service but really want this for my career and my family. Look forward to being selected and meeting everyone at COT or hospital we get assigned to!!
