Masters degree using TA in Air Force

I knew of one Capt who got a Masters in poetry...this from a guy who was a 13SC like me (space and missiles). I know the thought of ICBMs makes one wax poetic....

I'm sure the schedule to get advanced education while being a nurse is going to be quite demanding. Especially with family obligations. There were some who attended the "pay your fee, get your B" universities but that won't cut it with an advanced health care program.

AdamRN,

I took over 20hrs using TA before starting my AFIT program. It isn't that big of deal taking classes and being AD. Many of your co-workers and supervisors will be doing or have done the same thing. The AF is probably not going to release you from you obligation to pursue a PharmD. Depending on your age you may apply to Uniformed Services University of Medical School, and the nurse corps may let you switch to the medical corps at that point otherwise you will probably have to serve out your committment before doing either a PharmD or medical program.
You should pick a school that is military friendly and start your program as soon as possible in order to avoid problems with PCSing etc, but saying all that in general the AF will work with you if you are on the last stages of getting your degree. Remember the AF wants you to have an advanced degree so to some extent it will do what it can to help you out.
