Part 3:
What is life like as a SRNA in the AF? I absolutely want to be an APN, but I am not sure what my niche is yet (CRNA or CNS). Do you feel the Air Force has helped you reach your goals? Is there a certain amount of years I have to be active duty before I can apply to CRNA or CNS programs? In the end, I am a woman and I need a “career outline.” I’d like to complete my Master’s before having children. This is a concern for me. I think I have rambled on long enough. Thanks for your time. I appreciate it. It's nothing I want to rush into.

Part 2 (cont):
I love nursing and the place I work, but I want to do "more." I have been looking into the AirForce because of the opportunities it would give me. I understand how to apply, how I will go to commissioned officer training for 4 weeks, then to active duty base, etc. My questions relate to post officer training. What is life as an Air Force Nurse before you started SRNA program? How many hours do you work a week? What other trainings do you do? Have you been deployed? Do they foster a positive work environment? Or is it an "eat your young" mentality?

Part 1:
WTBCRNA-- Good morning. I have been "stalking" you the past thirty minutes trying to read up on your past posts. I'm sorry if I ask questions you have previously discussed. Anyway, I know you are an SRNA and crazy busy (one of my friends are in school as well), but when you have time I would GREATLY appreciate your expertise/advice regarding the military.
About me-- I am a 21 y/o female. I graduated May 2008 with an Associate Degree in Nursing (RN). I started working in the CVICU upon graduation. While working, I am also pursuing my BSN and will graduate May 2010. So, by the time I graduate with my BSN (and eligible to join AF) I will have two years CVICU experience, plus BLS and ACLS certified. I also plan to pass my CCRN.
