Congrats on your selection! I am no longer active duty, but my spouse is. We live on base at Lackland AFB which is about 20-30 min from SAMMC---depending on traffic. The officer housing is not bad--newer than many other bases I have seen. The mai...

Sudsy, I was also recently hired as a School RN at my kids school. Do you receive a tuition discount? Do you do any teaching? I am contracted for only 1 hr/month at $25/hr, but there seems like so much more to do! It is a very small school of 100...

Thanks for the link. However, Sharky seems to really know his stuff...more than most of the recruiters. He seems to have been doing this for a while. I've asked the DDA question ( I am still IRR) and have gotten different answers. Just an unusual...

My husband loves the Air Force and his job. He has been an NP for about 4 1/2 years now. He worked 12 hour shifts on the inpatient unit: On Mon/Tue, Off Wed, Thur, On Fri, Sat, Sun, Off Mon/Tue, etc. I think most of the inpatient units use this ...

Hi Mike, My husband is currently an AF MHNP. He came in as a qualified Psych Nurse. I am also a prior active duty OB nurse and from what I have seen, most Psych nurses stay in Psych. You have a different AFSC than a clinical nurse. Clinical nurse...

The Little Greek, Thanks so much for all of the answers. I was so shocked to hear about the CNS certification...thanks so much for that info especially. I'm definitely out of touch. I might have to consider another plan regarding my masters. By t...

Hi there! I know you are super busy, but when you get a chance I am hoping you can answer some questions. I'm a former AF OB nurse...separated when my son was born, I can't believe I've been out 9 yrs. Anyway, I am curious what the deployment cycl...
