I am thinking of trying to join the AF. I am in the middle of taking my pre-reqs to get my BSN. I already have a bachelors degree in Mathematics and so I am enrolling in an 2nd degree track BSN program. I should be done in a little over one year after I start (which will be Jan 2011). My ultimate goal is to get a MSN and become a CNM (midwife). I talked with a recruiter and he said there were a few options. Option one would be to go in after I get my BSN and then work towards getting my MSN once I am in. The 2nd option would be to get my MSN on my own and then join. He said the health professionals scholarship works for CNM, but that there are very few applicants taken. I am slightly concerned about option 1 because I don't want to get in and then not be able to get my masters in a reasonable amount of time. I am 38 already and so I don't want to wait to finish my degree. I should be fine either way with the age requirement. Thoughts....
Also I have Hashimotos which is a auto-immune thyroid condition. It is well controlled on synthroid. Would this keep me out?
