AF Nurse Research

[jtrauma]

Hello Everyone. My husband and I have finally come to the conclusion that me becoming an Air Force Nurse is a for sure thing, we are totally stoked. I will not be able to do my training until next Oct because I won't have my BSN until the end of next summer. We are looking forward to the adventure and experience in not only our careers but personally as well.

I have a couple of things, I am taking a course right now that I have to do research on a nursing path that requires a BSN or higher that interests me so obviously I am choosing to write about AF nursing. Can anyone give me some insights on the ethical issues you face as an Air Force Nurse? Are they different in any way from civilian nursing? Also, I need some pros and cons on AF nursing from those of you that have the experience to tell.

Also, is there anyone with a good amount of AF ICU experience that I could write a more in depth email too with questions. We know this is what we want but there are always still questions.

Hope everyone has a fun and safe Labor Day.

Thanks-

Julia

You might want to do some research on the medical treatment/ethical dilemmas of treating POWs as an AF nurse.

I have done AF ICU nursing for a few years. Are there any specific questions you want to know? Let start off by saying it isn't that much different than civilian ICU nursing except that you will have more help, and depending on where you get stationed there won't be as many high acuity patients.
