Advice Needed - Applying to the USAF as a novice RN

Hi everyone! I'm hoping someone may be able to help me. Currently I'm looking to join the USAF as a RN. I have my BSN as of May 2016 and my RN as of that time as well. I wanted to join last year but was DQ due to being pregnant with my daughter at the time. Now that she is 7 months old, my husband and I are okay with me moving forward with the process again.

My questions:

- How likely am I to even be accepted? I graduated with a 3.55 GPA and I'm interested in OB if I'm approved

- What should I be doing now to prepare/make myself more desireable as an applicant?

- How long is the application process typically?

- Any extra advice?

Thank you in advance for the help!

    If you really want to do OB in the Air Force, then you should get OB civilian experience for 1 year first; get PALS, ACLS, and NRP certs. Sitting on your hands at home is going to make you a very un-competitive applicant. Nobody wants to hire a new grad with no experience who has been out of school getting rusty for a year plus.

    The application process takes 1 year minimum from the time you contact a recruiter to the time you start training, COT (commissioned officer training).
