6. Older Nurses in the USAF

   Tucwebb replied to Tucwebb's topic in Government

   Thanks WBTCRNA. I guess it doesn't really matter because I am looking at 42-60 program (Reserves), and I will keep working my GS job (which is at an air force base). I will never have the chance to retire from the military due to my age.

    Tucwebb replied to pugsweluv's topic in NCLEX

    I took the test on June 1, it took one hour, and shut off at 75 questions. I found out the next day that I passed because my license was posted on our state nursing board web site in Arizona.
