AF applicant wanting feedback...need advice

[ATLRN0828]

Hi All...

I'm pretty new to this site and have found tons of good information. I have posted this question in a previous post but didn't receive any replies. I really would like some advice. Even if you are not a single parent nurse in the AF but you know some...please comment .

I am a single parent (I have a 2 yr old), and am applying for the AF Jan 2012 boards. Are there many single parent nurses who are in? Do they find it difficult managing the hours, work requirements, etc and their families? Is there adequate childcare to accomadate the hours? Being a single parent is one of the reasons I am considering joining (financial, health, etc), but it definitely weighs on my mind heavily as well. I just want to make sure I'm making the right decision.

Thanks again!

Thanks Wtbcrna!

How do you know which bases only have clinics? I don't mind working on the floor but the clinic might be better to start.

You can do an internet search, and your recruiter should also have a list. The smaller the base the more likely it is to be clinic only base.
