I'm applying for the January 2018 boards, and I'm worried that I'm not a strong enough candidate for critical care. My recruiter just keeps telling me that I have a shot, but that I can reapply if I don't get in. I enjoy critical care, but my priority is getting in. Here is my experience:
Over 5 years RN experience total (6 years in February)
2 years step down
3 years rapid response RN and Nursing Supervisor
1 year (in January) CVICU and still moonlighting as rapid response
I have a MSN in Leadership and Management
No CCRN but pretty sure I could take the PCCN without studying.
I desperately want to join (and go to Europe). My recruiter said there are 11 CC spots and 18 MS spots. What am I more likely to get in with based on my experience? A critical care identifier or a medsurg identifier?
Does the Air Force take New grads in CC? I'm in nursing school right now.
No, you would need civilian critical care experience to come in and go right to critical care in the Air Force. This is true for all branches of the service, really.
