   razorshark replied to JessicaNique's topic in Government

   Go to the Air Force website and look in the Health Professions section, locate a regional HP recruiting office, ask for a Nurse Corps recruiter. That representative will answer your questions. Also, enlisted recruiters must refer all BSN and higher...

2. AFROTC FY2012 Nursing Grad

   razorshark replied to Smash567's topic in Government

   He is correct, although I wouldn't bet on going to Germany or Alaska for your 1st duty assignment. Peterson/AFA should also be in that list. New entry level nurses need to go to hospitals, not clinics. v/r Sharky

4. Air Force NTP 2012 Board

   razorshark replied to UCAFblue's topic in Government

   There are less than 20 NTP positions available for FY12. Technically, you can submit an application as long as you are within 1 year of graduation by the time the board meets. I am not working BSN students for NTP. The reason is simple, they are no...

5. AF recruitment questions

   razorshark replied to BVFD 333's topic in Government

   I think I have already talked with you before on FB. Answers: 1. Depends on the recruiting environment and your current status. The same medical waiver you did for the Army will have to be approved by the Air Force. Just because the Army approved y...

6. Rank when entering

   razorshark replied to IVyPush-her's topic in Government

   If you are applying for the Nurse Corps, a Masters in anything other than an MSN for a clinical specialty will get you nothing upon entry. Constructive Grade Credit is 2 years for this. Experience credit is 1/2 of total full-time RN experience in an...

   razorshark replied to cyzow's topic in Government

   (Y)et, (E)veryone know(S), it is against the forum policy for recruiters to actively recruit on here. v/rSharky

9. RN recruit prospect/advice?

   razorshark replied to JJTRN's topic in Government

   Unless you have one full year of clinical acute care experience in a full-time, in-patient setting, it is at the recruiter's discretion whether to work your application. NTP is not an option, and fully qualified is becoming more competitive. Don't ...

    There is no requirement for Letters of Recommendation for any Nurse Corps application. There is a requirement for three (minimum) evaluation forms, AFRS Form 1373, to be completed by senior RNs. There is a maximum of five evaluations for clinical s...

    razorshark replied to UCAFblue's topic in Government

    One exception, if one were in ROTC and apply to the Nurse Corps. Otherwise, the only test you have to pass is your NCLEX for RN, or others for ARNP. v/r Sharky

    Applications are due 27 SEP. The next due date is JAN 2012...and there may not any slots available my then. So yes, listen to your recruiter and get your application in ASAP. Then, you wait for a seat to open up at COT that fits your grad schedule...

13. Is NTP for 2012 still an option

    razorshark replied to cyzow's topic in Government

    Yes, and no. Your health professions recruiter is correct. There are less than 20 slots available for FY12 NTP and applications aren't due until June 2012...so there is no point in working applications right now when we have fully qualified special...

14. RN looking for some AF info from someone who knows

    razorshark replied to icurnanthony's topic in Government

    You are right. I was asked to come on here to clear up a lot of misinformation concerning "how" to get accepted, not to troll or argue. There is a reason nurses are not recruiters, and I would never tell a nurse how to do their job. Best of luck e...
